Turning back the clock

Benjamin Button was one of those movies that i had to watch twice to understand most of what was being presented in the film. This could be mostly blamed on the fact that this movie was extremely long and in some parts very drawn out. However, even with the slow and long parts, this movie had quite a message to portray. Benjamin Button is about a boy, played by Actor Brad Pitt, who was born old instead of young. As the movie plays out, he grows younger and younger as everything around him grows older and older. The main message that this movie has is the message of, "turning back the clock". Instead of complaining about the thought of if i was younger i would do this, we need to get in the habit of doing those things now and learning from others examples. We also learn about the irrelevance of physical appearance and that of age to the meaning of life. To often we as human sheep tend to follow the call of a controlled society in which we are told how to live our past, present, and future. This movie teaches us that no matter our age or appearance, we can still do and become what ever we want. Enjoy life, and you will find that you received much more than you could have ever expected. For those who have not yet seen this movie, pay close attention to the attitude he has even with the situation he holds in life.
