Movies


“My name is Benjamin Button, and I was born under unusual circumstances. While everyone else was aging, I was getting younger.” Some people will admire Benjamin Button, since his interior monologue shows people that when others became older, he became younger. However, is it always a good thing? We are not sure about the answer, since only Benjamin Button was able to explore the secret.

Life, love, and death are the themes of this movie. For many people, it is a good thing to stay in their youth when others are getting old. Because of the reverse aging, Benjamin Button was designed to be different from others. He was born as wrinkled baby, and died as an infant with senile dementia. In his lifetime, he had to not only witness his relatives and friends’ death, but also see Daisy’s being old. For this reason, I realized that it is not always a good thing for people to become younger while others are getting older, since nothing perfect can stay. Also, I think the director also wanted to deliver the audience that people should treasure the present people, since people who are in the real world cannot have a clock, which is running to backward to bring the late people back.


Respond to a current movie review: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatball. This movie review shows the audiences that the movie is about a young inventor’s dream; he wants to create something that can change people’s lives. Finally, his dream comes true. I like the explanation part of the movie review, since the reviewer described the content specifically. However, I did not see the part that talked about the director, main actors, or the rating. Also, the reviewer didn’t pain a picture of evaluating the movie, either. For this reason, I think this movie review did a good job on expressing the main idea of the movie, but it didn’t provide enough other information of this movie to the audiences. As a result, I believe that it is uncompleted.
