The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Saw The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button this weekend. 13 Oscar nominations, great acting, great story line, and not to mention the make up. 
Beautiful.
I won't say too much but I will say that is a simple movie about love, life and death done amazingly well.


Here are some memorable quotes taken from the movie:
"There are no rules to life - so make the best of it"

“You never know what’s coming for you”
“We are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss”

“It’s a funny thing coming home. Nothing changes. Everything looks the same, feels the same, even smells the same. You realize what’s changed, is you.”
For what it’s worth, it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit... start whenever you want... you can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that stop you. I hope you feel things that you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life that you’re proud of and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
-Benjamin Button

"We were meant to lose people. How else would we know how important they are?"
"Along the way you bump into people who make a dent on your life. Some people get struck by lightning. Some are born to sit by a river. Some have an ear for music. Some are artists. Some swim the English Channel. Some know buttons. Some know Shakespeare. Some are mothers. And some people can dance."
