    I once read a comment by someone that appreciating Benjamin Button requires some life experience and maturity. I can't remember who wrote this, it was just some random guy on a message board, but I think he nailed it. I first saw BB when I was 23 I think. I enjoyed some aspects of the film, but overall it dragged too much and seemed too boring to me, with Benjamin's life not being particularly interesting or adventurous. I'm 10 years older now, a lot has happened in my life, including aging and feeling nostalgia for the younger years. Which IMO is key to appreciating the film - knowing how it feels to grow older and knowing how it feels to look nostalgically back at your own past life. When you're young, you seldom self-consciously think about any given thing/moment you're experiencing, you're just absorbing it. Once you hit 30, you start to look at things with perspective more, so now if you're for example with your girlfriend/wife on a holiday and something is particularly nice (scenery, weather, sunset, whatever), you often realize it in that very moment (and you also realize it's not going to last). When you're still in your early 20s, living life to the fullest, full of optimism, parties, sex, travelling the world without a concrete idea of what the future will bring and very few bad experiences, you can't fully understand a movie like BB. You just can't. You can understand the idea behind it, you can understand what it's going for, but without experiencing more of what it's like to be older and how life changes, you can't entirely absorb and understand the film. It really requires life experience and maturity. It needs a viewer that truly understand by his own experience, what it's like to feel older and grow older. And that the story and its message wouldn't work as good if Benjamin lived some amazing, fantastically adventurous life. I think that any experience from the film must be stronger the older you are and the more you understand the passage of time and all that it brings with it. It's not a complicated movie and it's not an overly sophisticated movie (in storyline terms), but I think it's quite poignant and special, because it neatly, effectively and sweetly summarizes what it means to be alive and what life is for each and every one of us. A special piece of work by Fincher and co.

    I saw this film when I was 15-16 and I loved it. I'm 24 now. I've always appreciated it even though my friends parents didn't care for it when I asked them how they liked it when i was younger. What stood out to me, regardding your comment was "you often realize it in that very moment you can also realize its not going to last" really hit me, because I already feel as I age that these good times aren't lasting forever. And that's what makes it beautiful knowing that it wont. It's that very reasoning of seeing the beauty at that given moment, but the beauty of it not lasting is what makes it beautiful, to be human. It made me realize how important relationships are, doing the right thing, always having good intentions, and embracing life for the good and bad and everything it is. Thanks for your comment.

    I really liked how he said Daisy “danced” but wasn’t a “dancer”. It felt almost like he knew that she was more than that, and she proved that. It was her passion but it didn’t define her. It showed how much she understood and loved Daisy, and she in return she loved him to the very end. He died in her arms, which I know is a way most people want to go, to die in their lovers arms. Even though Benjamin didn’t have a normal life he still found someone to love him as much as anyone can.

    One of the most powerful movies I've ever seen in my life. I once reunited with a girl from my past, who would go on to be my first love. We saw this movie, sharing the pleasure of each others company. I experienced the rollercoaster of feelings this wonderful movie can provide, along with the joy of a new life experience. Thinking back to how that relationship crumbled away and life has moved along, I can't help but live in that moment again and again when I watch this movie. Benjamin has taught me that life can often be so out of your control, and you never know what's coming for you. Make the best of it. These are my favorite scenes, so thanks for posting

    I fell in love with this movie when I went away for college. Ended up using this monologue for an acting class I took. I used to drive for Lyft and if I ever had one of those real good deep conversations with a passenger, I’d share this monologue. I share it with anyone who is feeling stuck or feeling like the world is spinning too fast. I think it’s always helped me kind of come back to balance.

    This film is pretty much second Forest Gump to me. But maybe in some aspects even more impacting. I saw it first time when I was 20 and it was really powerfull altough I didn´t know why I felt like that and I didn´t understand the message. Now I am 25 ...young .... just 5 years older .... and still these 2 scenes especially hit me harder than anything. That message he wrote to his daughter is SO TRUE and yet SO SIMPLE. I think that everybody who really contemplate about life more than just where to get money and what to buy will eventually start to feel real message this film send. The beauty and meaning of life is in its temporality. It doesn´t really matter how rich you are what car you have how big your house is ... those are just tools you should use and not look up to .... when you are healthy and you are not shot at you have all you really need to live full life and it is completely up to how you will feel about things that you come across. As one person I knew once said "Slowly you live longer" And he was right ... you can either run through your life not looking right or left or walk slowly and look even on things that you don´t find pretty. Only that way you can make that gift of life valuable and therefore have the ability to create something valuable. There´s always time to do this. PS: sorry for my english ... it´s not my mother tongue

    I once read a comment comparing this film to Forest Gump and the distinction between the two was very simple; Forest Gump is about an Ordinary Guy with an Extraordinary life. Benjamin Button is about an Extraordinary Guy with an Ordinary life. both of these may be equally inspiring because both of these men did something nobody would think they could do. Benjamin was born an old man and aged backwards, but he lived his life all the same.

    This move is such a life reflecting movie. I'm only 31 years old but I can clearly see the meaning of this life and movie. Thus movie got me so hard now I seen it when I am 10 years older than first time I saw it. I see the movie with a different perspective. Reflecting my own life and life choices I take. A value each moment much more and reflect life as a beutiful gift from god. This movie gives me a hard lump in the throat days after. And the quote -'' I hope you are strong enough to change your life if your are not happy with it '' is so powerful. I see many people miserable but they never take change to overcome it. So sad. What matters is life is that you have lived this life to the fullest, and the people you meet and see and exchange thought and different views. You go to different places and see beutiful world. God.. I hoped that we all would get 3 life's to enjoy this world. But 1 life is so short.

    I remember when this movie came out, there were comparisons to Forrest Gump. And while I understand why, this story had far more beauty to it. Forrest Gump was basically 20th Century United States told through a series of tall tales. And while Benjamin's aging condition was the premise of a tall tale, the story itself truly was about the human condition and impermanence.
