OHLALA THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON
We had the opportunity and the pleasure to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button that opens December 25 nationwide. And wow! What a great movie ...
The movie is an adaptation from the 1922 short story of the same name by F Scott Fitzgerald directed by David Fincher, starring Cate Blanchett one of our favorite actresses (along with Meryl Streep) and Brad Pitt. So yes! I would definitely say that Benjamin Button is a curious movie. It is a fairy-tale but still it feels so real. This has probably something to do with today's part of the story taking place in New Orleans, the terrible night of hurricane Katrina.
Honestly if your family christmas reunion is turning into a disaster, and I know it may for many who still feel oblige to go back home on this wonderful holiday (that I cannot wait to be over ...) I would suggest to take a walk and head to the nearest theater to see this movie.
If you are not into fairy tales, impossible love stories, amazing photography, great acting, if you do not like Cate Blanchett or Brad Pitt .... at least go to see Brad Pitt's triceps ;-) And don't roll your eyes, if all the things listed before are not good enough for you I am so not ashamed to use the ultimate hunky Brad Pitt's trick to get you to see this movie ;-)
The make up and visual effects are amazing! And as photographers we were both blown away by the fantastic photography of the entire movie. Looking at Brad Pitt getting younger while Cate Blanchett was gracefully aging was quite fascinating. Two more sexy shots after the jump.
i believe Benjamin Button is the third movie David Fincher and Brad Pitt have made together -- they must enjoy working together
