Forest Gump companion movie.
By OttoParts (7 reviews) from Wales , 18 Dec 2008[Highly rated reviewer]
If you're the mood for a Forest Gump kind of movie, then this film will be perfect for you.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is penned by Forest Gump scribe Eric Roth and it shows. This film has exactly the same feel and sentiment as the Robert Zemeckis directed movie. The story is comes across in exactly the same way with the explanation heavy voice-over and the main character, Benjamin, literally in the eye of the storm of some of the most significant events of the 20th century.
Pitt and Blanchett are ideally cast. They breeze through the material. But it's more about good casting than it is career defing performances from these two. There is unanimous talent from all of the supporting cast too.
Benjamin Button is an obvious break away for director David Fincher, someone who has formed a near flawless career with some much darker material. My personal hope is that this is his 'one for the studio' film that would give him further license to carry on making films like Zodiac, Se7en and The Game. Though he's created yet another outstanding film with Bejamin Button, I feel there are a few other directors who would have made near enough the same film with this material... Oh well, at least it wasn't made by Ron Howard...- Was this review helpful to you?

(1213)Truely beautiful Film
By sugajeep (1 review) from Gosport , 16 May 2012A truely beautiful film, like many (i imagine) i was a bit sceptical about this, but it is an amazing film with a brilliant cast, it has been a long time since i watched a film that made me feel so many emotions.
The beautiful setting at the beginning in New Orleans with a classic jazz soundtrack is so feel good and you can't help but laugh at the old resident with his funny 'lightening' anecdotes, i would highly recommend this film to anyone, if i could try and describe it i would say it is a better version of Forrest Gump told in the same style as Titanic, a truely beautiful story.- Was this review helpful to you?
