19 19 when people all over the world just walked out of the haze of World War I, a strange thing happened in Baltimore, USA. A strange baby named Benjamin Barton (Brad Pitt) was abandoned by his biological father Thomas Barton at the entrance of the nursing home. Because, this unprecedented freak was born an old man. Barton's wife died in childbirth. Fortunately, Queenie, a kind black woman, adopted Barton, a strange baby. And in the following years, I lived with him and educated him to grow. Barton followed Queenie in the nursing home. But Benjamin met the second woman who completely changed his life in the nursing home-Daisy (played by Ellie Fan Ning), a little girl who was only 6 years old at that time. She came to visit her grandmother, and her loveliness and innocence completely conquered Barton's heart. Barton's sincere and clear heart touched Little Daisy, and their love began to sprout. ...

Ten years later, the war of World War II burned the whole world more violently. In the turbulent situation, Benjamin Barton, like many Americans, came to Britain by boat from the United States and made contributions to the anti-fascist war. During this period, he met all kinds of people, witnessed the tragedy of real life and experienced the greatest glory of human nature. During this period, he meets Elizabeth Abbott (Tilda Swinton). They had a brief love affair, but the other was married and left soon.

After World War II, Benjamin returned to America. At this time, he has got rid of the old childhood and gradually grew into a middle-aged man. As fate would have it, I was reunited with my childhood dream girl Daisy (Cate Blanchett) in new york. At this time, Daisy has also become a beautiful dancer with a charming and successful career. However, at this time, Daisy had another lover, and Benjamin had to leave sadly.

The first meeting between them originated from Daisy's injury, and she could no longer dance. Daisy didn't want Benjamin to see herself lying in the hospital bed, so let him leave. A few years later, they met again in a nursing home. After mature communication, they finally spent a happy few years together under the condition that their age and appearance were completely matched. Just as everyone is suffering from the aging brought by the years, Benjamin Barton is retrograde like rejuvenation. They have a daughter, but Benjamin is destined to be young and eventually become a child. He felt that he could not grow up with his children and chose to leave. ...

[Edit this paragraph] behind-the-scenes production

David fincher Film Industry with a total investment of $65.438+700 million.

In the past 15 years, with his diligence and the kind of "provocation and affectation" in his bones, Finch has created a large number of films labeled as "david fincher style"-Alien 3, Seven Deaths, Psychological Games, Fight Club, Panic Room and Zodiac Killer. These films are full of david fincher's usual gloomy, melancholy and sad tone, and this gloomy atmosphere is created through the arrangement of lighting and the application of photography technology. In his films, natural light is rarely used, but artificial lighting is widely used to create light and shadow effects that match the tone of the film. "This is to let the audience have the same feelings and feelings as when starring in filming, a feeling of instability or a little paranoia." Finch said that the protagonists in Finch's films will experience some mental trauma caused by the change of fate at the end of the film.

When asked why he wanted to create a film with such a keynote, Finch said, "I don't think the film only plays the role of pleasing the audience and entertaining the public." My interest lies in scar movies. "The' scar' that Finch said includes not only the feelings of the actors after the performance, but also the faint sadness left by the audience after watching it." Many people think my movies are dark, dim and distorted. I'm not mystifying, I just want to make everyone think. Just like "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", what I thought during the whole filming process was that we had to determine the real reason for sympathizing with Benjamin, whether it was his illness, his "curse" or something else. This is the basis for us to shoot the whole film, and as long as we stick to this basis, we can explain why he just wants to go where he should go, find the right person and do what he should do in the film. "

The Oscar-winning screenwriter once again wrote a touching script.

The script of this film has been polished by two screenwriters-Robin Swicott and Eric Ross, who won the Oscar for Best Screenplay for Forrest Gump. David fincher said, "The version of robin swicord makes me feel that this is a touching love story. When I read Eileen Cross's newly adapted play, I felt that it contained more people's questions about the proposition of life and death, including the fragility of human life and emotion. The protagonist in the film is surrounded by old people all his childhood, but he can cope with death very gracefully. This is a psychological challenge, although his psychological maturity is very low, and he is just a newborn baby. Imagine if we were born with a large group of elderly people around 85 years old. "

Actor Taraji P hansen plays Queenie in the film. In Fitzgerald's original work, this role was only the nanny of the protagonist Benjamin, but in the writer's pen, she became Benjamin's physical twin mother. Taraji said in an interview, "Because of this change of identity, I have to feel the situation. It can be said that I am not acting, I am just expressing myself. I remember a conversation between Benjamin and me in the movie. I told him,' most people will judge you by your appearance, but they won't know what kind of person you really are.' So I often say to my son-as an African-American mother. This is also my favorite part of this movie. "

At the end of the film, Eric Ross put "moving" first. He said, "All of us will experience the death of our parents, the growth and maturity of our children, and our own aging. I hope this film can let people use a good way to resolve the sadness that comes with life; At the same time, I also hope that this film can generate a buzz among young people, and I hope to have a dialogue with them through the film, so that they can understand the true meaning of the passage of time and the absence of youth, although this may not be the problem they must face at present. "

Visual effects are facing challenges again.

How to overcome the technical difficulties of special effects production has become the secret that many people want to know about a movie in which the protagonist will change from old age to youth. "Benjamin, who is in his eighties, is actually a synthetic body, capturing Brad Pitt's face with electronic imaging and then installing it on others." David fincher, the director, introduced part of the production of this film and said, "According to our idea, this composite material must be made flawless. What is presented to the audience is a whole, not a synthesis at all. The difficulty lies in Brad Pitt's facial expression. Because it is electronic imaging, it is necessary to dynamically capture the facial features during the performance to ensure its authenticity. The biggest challenge for me is that no matter what special effects I do, I must let the audience recognize that it is Brad Pitt at the first time. " Finch is very demanding on special effects technology. In order to achieve the ideal state, he finally increased the cost of special effects and post-production. "Although the final movie didn't completely satisfy me, it's really hard to imagine how to do it better."

other

This film is adapted from Scott Fitzgerald's short story of the same name written in 1922.

Film producers have close cooperation with Levi's brand clothing. In order to highlight its authenticity, the film uses a lot of Levi's nostalgic series.

Brad Pitt's youngest daughter played a small role in this film, playing the daughter of Benjamin and Daisy.

This film will be Ted Manson's last film.

Wonderful film review

I solemnly clicked the play button.

A dying old woman called her daughter and began to talk about the strange man in her life. The story begins at 19 18.

When I first saw Benjamin as a baby, his wrinkled skin and old-fashioned appearance made my heart thump. His vulgar father abandoned him and good people took him in. Since then, there have been more and more young lives in this world.

If life is a symphony, after a dull overture, he begins the first movement.

That's a great priest. Passionate prayer actually made the old baby stand up and walk. In the pious cheers, he met the first climax in his life, the first girl Daisy who thought he was not an old man, and the first girl who touched his old cheek. Now you and I both know the meaning of giving ignorant youth for the first time.

The second movement. Adagio

Birds that can't fly are very sad, and youth that can't fall in love is also very sad. Different lives will suffer different pains. Seeing that the people he loves are aging and leaving this world one by one, he chose to leave voluntarily to pursue a more meaningful life, rather than resigned to fate. That year, he 17 years old.

He began to get used to life, wine and women. However, the war came and he took some people with him. Some people around him, who only occupy a small area in our memory, left a deep impression on us. The departure of these people made him mature to face life.

The third movement. Allegro.

When the movie entered 100 minutes, young Benjamin roared by on a motorcycle. Off-screen, I finally realized that whether I get old or young, I am going to the end of my life. There is nothing we can do about the coming collision of life.

1962, Benjamin finally got together with Daisy. One finally reached the best years of life, and the other let go of the best years of life. In the season that should be mature, they spent the happiest time of their lives, on the sailboat, on the island, in the love nest, in each other's eyes and in each other's hearts.

Caroline called by the old woman was born. From this point on, that is, the last 40 minutes of the film, anyone can meet his own crying point at any time. You can't say why. Really, there is always a feeling called indescribable, isn't there?

The last chapter is the finale.

7 years old, 5 years old, baby, neither fast nor slow, which is synchronous with our aging. Benjamin was born in this world as a baby, or he died as a baby. The same petite body has an extra 85 years of life.

If time goes back, time goes back, the life lost in the war will come back, and the children can return to their parents. Wrinkles disappear, artists remain young forever, sailors sail endlessly, disasters can be avoided, lovers never part ... Hehe, let's talk about this sentence again-there is just no such thing as if.

This is destined to be a typical well-made Hollywood life epic, and its position will be on a par with Forrest Gump, but Benjamin contains great dramatic tension, which stems from human's revision of the past and his desire for a perfect life. Hey, man, don't be weighed down by those meaningless words above. This movie is about a strange life. Some places are so interesting that you can't help laughing.

Benjamin, who aims at Oscar, has an appetite for awards such as best makeup and best special effects. Such achievements really don't match this film. Considering the economic depression, it can give people spiritual comfort and calm wealth, and even the best film may win. What I care about most is the best actor. Look at the scene where Benjamin and his father met at the button yard, and look at Pete's eyes. It is under the hypocritical shelf of Oscar for many years that countless awards have missed the profound and dedicated accumulated by this man.

In addition, the technical production is as detailed as the plot, which can stand the test of time and the harsh eyes of film critics. For example, when Benjamin and Daisy meet again, the background sound is not blank, the content and volume are absolutely in line with real life, and 5. 1 surround effect is obvious. The background music is absolutely in place. Whenever the piano concerto rings and I hear the sound of piano and strings, my heart seems to be in a vast grassland. The last time I was so touched was when I saw Peter riding home in 1994.

What the Lord gives you will eventually take them away. You can be angry with everything around you like a mad dog, you can curse your own fate, but at the last moment, you still let go calmly.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

A strange beginning is doomed to a strange ending. A magical story about an extraordinary life.

An old people's home frequented by death is as dead as a fetus, but it has become Benjamin Barton's spiritual home, interpreting the calmness and poetry of life and death.

A surge of youthful lust, a cosmopolitan crew life, wrote a natural and calm absurd story, leaving irreparable regret in life.

A young and lively girl, connected with the hearts of legendary old children, made a vow to care for her life and performed a love epic where you will go.

Love that touches the soul always makes the viewer emotional, but love that is doomed to be unable to continue writing is the most beautiful swan song in the world. "Rejuvenation", a time-space staggered story, a dying person's life reminiscence before his death, a quiet reading and a lengthy narrative, let me smell the desolation of life, the impermanence of life and death, and the helplessness of love.

Whether it's a clock with the hands turned backwards, an upcoming storm, a sudden war, a 68-year-old lover who crossed the English Channel, a captain who claimed to be a tattoo artist, and a hummingbird who flaps its wings 80 times a second to survive ... it's like a bright pearl connecting life into an unparalleled necklace. It constitutes countless intersections that are deeply hidden in our minds and hearts. At this countless crossroads, including each of us, there is only one person who is doomed to be unable to put down calmly. It is not only Benjamin's dense diary for a lifetime, but also Daisy's last life summary and emotional memories when she lies in her hospital bed.

A sailor and a dancer, two completely different and diametrically opposite life trajectories, met perfectly in a nursing home ravaged by death and met briefly after Daisy was unable to dance in a car accident. At the intersection of life and a glimpse, two souls, like sparks on phosphorus paper, lit the most brilliant flame in a bleak life.

Fire is so short and weak that people can't bear to breathe and touch it. It is tightly wrapped by two happy hearts in the beautiful and quiet Florida harbor, but it still can't escape the fate of waiting quietly behind it. Well-informed Benjamin finally chose to leave all his possessions and leave alone before his daughter remembered him, because he knew that his daughter not only needed a playmate, but also Daisy could not take care of two "children".

In the last mile of his life, Benjamin, a 70-year-old boy with Alzheimer's disease, couldn't remember Daisy's love with himself, and went back to a nursing home where things changed, and was finally adopted by Daisy, who lost her husband, until she became a dumb baby.

Benjamin ended his unique life in his infancy, in the arms of his lover Daisy. At the last moment of his life, he stared at the grandmother-like old woman with clear eyes like children for a long time, and finally closed his eyes gently. Daisy said she knew, and Benjamin recognized who she was.

In the dark, a calm and long ending song sounded, which made me wake up from a trance, as if I had been burned by a match. Long after the end of the movie, my life will soon return to normal, just like the clock in the town railway station that has been turned back for 85 years, but my heart has been clearly burned by the eternal love of Benjamin and Daisy. The whole dull ignition point is like a white spot left by sparks in the dark, which is really illusory and makes me lose my mind.

I suddenly felt my eyes moist, and my whole body lost weight in the sour void.

Benjamin Barton 19 18——2003

[Edit this paragraph] Classic lines:

Mom? Mom? Some days, I feel different from the day before.

Queenie: Everyone has different feelings about themselves in one way or another, but we are all going the same way.

Playing the piano is not about how well you play, but about how you feel about what you play. This is actually playing music for yourself.

Ben: Good morning, Captain. Can you take us to the sea?

C: Do you know what today is?

Ben: Sunday?

C: Do you know what this means? (Ben shakes his head) This means that I was drunk last night.

Ben: But you get drunk every day ... (The captain is speechless)

We are doomed to lose the people we love, otherwise how can we know how important they are to us?

You can be angry with everything around you like a mad dog, you can curse your own fate, but at the last moment, you still have to let go calmly.

Will you still love me when my skin becomes old and loose?

Will you still love me when I have acne all over my face? When I wet the bed, I am afraid of things upstairs.

Do you know that?/You know what? Do you know that?/You know what? I was struck by lightning seven times. ...

Good night, Benjamin.

Good night, Daisy.

Good night, Benjamin.

Good night, Daisy.

I think if I were much younger, I would change a lot of things and make up for those shortcomings before. I'm constantly waiting, wondering if I can do something to change the status quo and do something ... it's a waste of life ... you'll never get back the lost time. ...

One thing, whether it is too late or too early for me, will not stop you from becoming what you want to be. There is no time limit for this process. You can start at any time if you like. It doesn't matter whether you want to change or keep the original state. There should be no restrictions on doing things. We can do it well or screw it up, but I hope you can be what you want to be in the end. I hope you can stay in this magical world sometimes. Feel something I've never felt before. I hope you can meet other people with different views. I hope you can have a proud life. If life is different from what you imagined, I hope you can have the courage to start over.

In the spring of 2003, he looked at me and I knew he must know who I was. Then he closed his eyes as if he were asleep.

Some people grew up by the river,

Some people have been struck by lightning,

Some people have extraordinary musical talent,

Some people are artists, others swim,

Some people know the button,

Some people know Shakespeare,

Some people are mothers,

Some people ... can dance .........
