The curious case of Benjamin Button

If you are one of those that seldom go to movies, this is one you shouldn’t miss.
Because even if you do not like the story (which is almost impossible) you will be astonished to see how modern science and makeup can change people.
The same actor is 50 years younger or older in the same movie.
The life of Benjamin goes backward, but that doesn’t make it better than ours.
On the contrary, if your life goes differently from all other human beings you are not allowed to live.
You are too old when you should be young and too young when you should be old.
But there is a magic moment in every life and in the one of Benjamin’s too, when he is not too old and not too young.
Those are the few moments that belong to any of us: The moments of love.
Few magic precious moments when you would like to stop and let life be that way forever.
But life goes on, for us and for him.
