    Rats! Dunno' where that Alice came from. I meant Daisy!

    I was surprised that anyone found it "creepy" for Benjamin to be under that table with Alice. Couldn't they see the child inside? Pitt did a superb job while Blanchett was certainly good enough. I cried at the end when Benjamin died. Don't do that in many movies.

    There's a message in the movie that Benjamin Button narrates that really moved me. He spoke about going back home as an adult and everything is the same except yourself, that really moved me.
    My father had passed about five years ago and even though the house is the same, I feel uneasy when I'm there.
    This movie proves that growing old (or in his case growing old internally), there are somethings that remind you to take the time to enjoy the moment because it is truly fleeting.
    Great movie, I enjoyed it.
