Let us live anew according to meaning and die like babies...

——We always long for a life of vigorous ups and downs, but life is so heavy and beautiful in the flow of time, and it teaches us the true meaning of life.

——Every time we start to doubt the world we live in, every time we feel desperate about our own life, every time we feel that we have become incapable of destiny, there will always be "The Curious Case of Stories like Benjamin Button make us believe that life is beautiful, ideals are realistic, and the world can fight for it.

——You can be an ordinary worker, you can be a passionate artist, you can be an angry, you can be a literary youth, or anyone – because some people live by the river, some people strike Lightning, some people are good at music, some are good at art, some dare to swim, some know the button, some know Shakespeare, some are mothers, some can dance life... Just to be the one you Wanna be.

This movie has been recommended to me by many people, and I have always wanted to look for it, and when I was visiting IMDB, I was surprised to find that its rating was as high as 9.6—of course, it is not so high now.
Many people complained about the lengthy plot of the movie. Many people didn't understand what the director was trying to say at the end. Some people even came to a conclusion when they saw it.
Of course? Yeah?

In fact, this is like our life. Before we do something, we always ask: "What's the benefit?" "What's the point?" "What will the result be?"-of course these are all understandable, but there are some things that don't ask for meaning. Not asking for results, at least in my eyes, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is such an existence.

Someone once gave a classification of movie-goers—for insight, or for entertainment. So people like us who sigh after watching the movie are often classified as the former, and some people call it "sentimental" and "moaning without illness"-and then I want to say, yes, because when watching "Red Cliff" Our laughter is definitely brighter and more innocent than yours.

In fact, a film like "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" really needs to calm down and examine it slowly. Only when we enter the rhythm designed for us by the director, can we feel our own meaning from it-just like one A thousand people and a thousand Hamlet are generally, and a thousand people also have the meaning of a thousand Benjamin.

Benjamin was unfortunate. He was born before he was old, accompanied by severe heart disease, arthritis, organ degeneration... This made his growth experience unimaginable pain for ordinary people, and directly caused him to be heartbroken. Absolute father abandoned.
But Benjamin was happy again. He was taken in by the kind Queen. He could observe the world around him in a different, even detached attitude. He could get younger and handsomer. But it seems like Lao Tzu said, blessings come and misfortunes relied on, misfortunes come and blesseds fall. Benjamin died in memory loss and mental deterioration, leaving no last words.

——But why not happy Benjamin who died as a baby?

Believe you, I remember what the old woman said-
"The piano is not about how well you play, but how you feel about what you play."
A movie is not about how good the critics say it is. But you have some insights about it.
And I respect your feelings.

    The indescribable is good, the indescribable is timeless. Recently, I really like this kind of narrative, which is magnificent without losing the texture of details. Whether going forward or backward, people will eventually grow bigger and then smaller. Anyway, everyone has to wrap up a diaper in the end, and only love can last forever.
