curiosity!

I, Yvonne, have just renewed my infatuation with Brad Pitt.

For I have just watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button when I decided not to watch a totally sad Korean movie again. Seems like I'm always watching movies like a thousand years after the release.


Anyways, really, there is really nothing curious about why girls are always naming him when asked who they thought were hot. And this movie would not have got me watching it intently for 2.5hours had it not been Brad Pitt starring as Benjamin Button. Like how I watched Protege because Daniel Wu starred in it. :)


And what a beautiful tale. There are days when certain creative people's mind wander and come up with totally cool ideas and this story was definitely created on one of those days. But Fitzgerald's story was a short one. An interesting one but the movie has added in the spices, the soft details and the warm fuzziness that it lacked.


So there is a case of piggy backing. The cool ideas were there and someone else have picked up on it, fine tuned it and made it smoother - into a movie. Instead of B.Button born as an old man who could speak "Are you my father?", he was born as a crying baby with an old man's physics. I really thought that he would just become younger and stop at about 30 and start to age again. But it was not to be. He grew younger and younger (oh, Brad Pitt!) and then even becoming a little boy, and then a baby again. But wait, I was watching very intently when the make up department managed to make Brad Pitt look 20 again! Whoa. Natural good looks helps of course.

Got me thinking what I would do if I were to age backwards. Man, that would be just plain awkward. As Benjamin asked Daisy, "Will you still love me when I have acne?" Will make a note to buy the original DVD to keep and probably watch again when I'm 40 and start imagining aging backwards and hopefully coming up with a totally cool story that could make a totally cool movie that attracts a totally hot cast and totally enrich people's daily mundane life. Haha...
