The Aspiring

Hey hey! Starting this blog, and I am just actually copying this idea from Estephanie Frank, a friend of mine. I just thought-- hey Nika, stupid wanting to be a screenwriter/director someday wherein I don't freaking watch A LOT as in A LOT of movies like the aspiring people like me. So what the heck! I'll start this blog and see if I'll be better next year! Disclaimer: Don't believe on my ratings, it's not professional rating. It is solely based on my emotions and feeling at the time I watched the movie. So, don't watch high rated movies I rated. Smile :)) AND BTW, I realize, I am stupid, and weird. I have this very odd preference and taste for movies. People might not like my opinion about the movies, so if you are reading this DO NOT TAKE THE BLOG POSTS AND THE RATE SERIOUSLY. This blog is made specifically for my own growth. Love love. Pardon with wrong grammar and SYNTAX ERRORS

19. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (5/5)

Benjamin Button: [Voice over; letter to his daughter] For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again. 



I don't know totally why, but I wanted to give this movie a perfect score. Maybe, if we are going to talk about preference, I love movies that are slow and profound, makes me clear my head and think about deeper things.

At some points, I love this movie because it made me realize about a lot of things. That everyone one of us are different and odd, and how lucky we are to find a safe place in this world. It also made me realize the value of time, the value of death and life. We are all aging, and it is a scary thing. So, we need to enjoy our lives to the fullest I quoted what Benjamin had written for her daughter, and I was captivated on his words.

The director of the film is David Fincher, the same director of one of my favorite movie: The Fight Club. These two movies are both written not by the director, but I love the two movies. It sometimes boils into how it was directed, the two movies could be a flop if not for the director and the screen writer. But it is good that they had chose a nice material to start with.

I also love the scene where Daisy bumped in to a car. It was a superb idea. I don't know if it was the idea of the screen writer or the director but it was effective and nice. 

I give this movie a 5/5, sorry its my preference, and maybe the effect of watching the movie gives me peace, and just what I said- profoundness.  :) The colors, the lighting, the music background also reminds me of Harry Potter I don't know why. 

And, Brad Pitt is uberly handsome at some angles too. :))
