movie looks at aging through unique lense
Just returned for seeing the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. What a life affirming movie. This movie radiates love and honors the elderly no matter how old they are!! This is key to the plot which is about a boy who is born old and as he grows he ages in reverse. Love is presnt throughout the movie, love between Benjamin and his adopted mother who runs an "old folks" home. Love between the elders living in the home and Benjamin, who grows up loving and losing those very residents. Caring is another huge part of the story. Being cared for, later taking careof and once more needing care. One funny line said is" We all begin and end in diapers". Please go see this movie and enjoy those you love at any age.
