Benjamin Button

“Life is not measured in minutes, but in moments.”

this I remembered correctly, this is the very first movie that
leaving me in tears right after the movie is finished (not at any time in the movie , but when it ended)
it is definitely emotionally taxing.

reason 1: the setting is so sad. its even sadder than getting old
seems i cant really make the reasons out in point form
but the msg is so strong that
people around you will become history at some point in the history timeline
they all got their own stories, own fates, their own loved ones
they have their shining days, their own ups and downs, getting old (except for benjamin)
no one can prevent saying goodbyes to their most loved ones,
this is the model of life.

time will push everything away eventually besides memories
and the new generation will come and substitute wht the old generation are doing.

everyone will have their peak years (no matter achievement, health, love, experiences) but will soon fade away

maybe its how this movie compressed benjamin’s life from the very beginning to the end in the few hours
people coming in and leaving in his life, things happened on him, how his decisions make things happen

anyway,
its a good movie, i wont say it become my favourite becoz it is very saddening
but it did induce me into deep thoughts about the meaning of life,
because many things are inevitable, really should treasure my sei-shun now.

some other movies i have watched recently:
