The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

I agree with the positive feedback from The Curious Case of Benjamin Button because it was a very unique story with a challenging plot. A boy is born as an elderly man and the plot consist of his body aging forward however he aged backwards from older to younger. The characters in the movie are very genuine an allowed the audience viewing it to really connect with the story. Taraji P. Henson is the mother of Button reminded me a lot of a character from the Color Purple. As a mother figure she resembled the character of Ms. Sophie and was nominated for an Academy Award. I truly believed she deserved her nomination because unlike her usual roles of the typical black female in movies such as Baby Boy and Hustle and Flow she portrayed a different type of character that challenged her. In my opinion I saw more than a Mamie figure but a powerful black woman because she was able to take care of Button and raise him as her own while running her own successful in home business. She was definitely the heart of the story and it had nothing to do with being in the category of a Mamie type. Button had the opportunity to live his life fully providing his condition. He knew what it was to have a family and a real love that he met when he was a child. A sense of a sort of magic is implied to tell this very unique story of Benjamin Button. As far as recent films go it was inimitable in the fact that it didn’t include an action packed scheme. Though it did incorporate the typical love story the fairy-tale told was more focused on the life of Button and his development in the world.
