Benjamin Button

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was a very interesting story and also a decent movie if I might say. I feel like it got all it's key points across with just pure simplicity. You automatically feel a connection not only from the death that occurs but also for the new life that is lived. It also presents some morality issues we all deal with in our lifetime. Everyone goes through some joys, and grievances, just some differently than others. His story unfolds through a diary read by the daughter of his love, Daisy. Throughout life he goes through the same things we do, growing up and eventually growing old. He's a thoughtful observer, discovering life from all different angles. But it is not his life that makes him unique. His love is what makes him special. He spends a lifetime trying to understand how his love for Daisy works and still only gets a few incredible years really just loving her. As their lives tell us, the years of frustration and hardship are all worth it if only for a few moments of happiness. It is a good story of depiction of life, love, and the things we lose. I was certainly not disappointed. This story is probably not for everyone though. It's not your average drama that spoon feeds it's readers emotions. I think this story is also inspiring in a lot of ways. It urges people to live their lives as if it were their last, live it too the fullest. We can all sort of relate to Benjamin, his days are numbers an he doesn't know when it's his time. He sort of had to go out and find his own way, although his dad supported him all she could. I recalled on the movie, it seemed like a kind of love story. But while reading the short story I didn't feel that way.
What makes our lives memorable are the moments we never seem to grasp long enough before letting go. Life in itself is very curious and Benjamin Button is no less of a wonder. I highly recommend The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, this story was just incredible in it's scope, story, setting
