"Goodnight, Benjamin"

Some people were born to sit by a river
Some get struck by lightning
Some have an ear for music
Some are artists
Some swim
Some make buttons
Some know Shakespeare
Some are mothers
And some people... dance
-Benjamin Button

One of my most-awaited movie last year. Had a really high expectation for it, but I have to admit it, I disappointed a bit. Not just because is not good (is a really terrific movie), but I personally think that this movie could have been done better. But still I think this is a great movie.

Bercerita mengenai Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt), seorang yg terlahir dengan fisik seperti orang tua. Tapi seiring berjalannya waktu, fisik Benjamin mulai me-muda. Selama hidupnya, dia bertemu dengan orang2 yang mengubah hidupnya serta menjadi saksi peristiwa2 sejarah.

Dari ceritanya aja menunjukkan bahwa, this was going to be an extraordinary movie. Apalagi pas tau sutradara nya, David Fincher. The man behind Se7en, Fight Club and Zodiac, three of my favorites of all time.

Film ini memang kerasa agak kelamaan, banyak scene yang kurang penting dan kalau di-cut pun gak bakal ngerusak isi film. What I really like about this movie is its score. Bagus bgt meeen musiknya, gak bisa berkata2 lagi deh hahaah Trus juga sinematografi nya, which was completely beautiful, artistik2 bgt scenenya. Untuk bagian aktingnya, gw ga ada masalah, oke lah. Apalagi Taraji P. Henson yang jadi Queenie, ibu asuh Benjamin, bagus bgt mainnya.

Overally film ini bagus dan memang sebuah film art yang keren. Film ini buat kita mikir karena message nya dalem bgt. Gw sampe harus nntn 2x untuk bener2 mengagumi karya Fincher ini.
