The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

It's been quite some time that I haven't done any movie reviews. So far as I can remember, last time was last year I think, review on Ayat-Ayat Cinta. Anyway..I don't know about you, tapi..cite yg aku tgk ni does 'knock' me abit..in fact, tajuk cite ni seolah-semacam menarik utk ditonton...'curious case'..- mmg rase curious lah...(^_%)..

"I was born under unusual circumstances." And so begins 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,' adapted from the 1921s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story, set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918 to the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man's life can be. Directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett with Taraji P. Henson, Tilda Swinton, Jason Flemyng, Elias Koteas and Julia Ormond, Benjamin Button is a grand tale of a not-so-ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the loves he finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.

So..my say about this movie is...good, something out of the ordinary...yelah..no wonder this movie have won several awards and nominations including 3 oscars...so...to me..it is worth watching..in other degree, i think that this movie brings up the reality of how life is...Benjamin know that he is a bit different than others...but..that does not stop him from living a normal life...cite ni byk memberi kata2 yg membuatkan aku terfikir kadangkala betul jugak ape yg dikatakan tu...at othe point, sometimes it doesn't matter who or what you are, but what is inside of you..if you really feel what you are doing is the right thing..then go ahead and do it..and sometimes life is not how we want it to be...but how we learn to accept it..and make the best out of it...

"Some people are born to sit by a river,
some get struck by lightning,
some have an ear for music,
some are artists,
some swim,
some know buttons,
some know shakespeare,
some are mothers,
and some people... dance."

Me & Her [1]

"Hye, apa khabar awak?"

"Saya sihat. Awak? Bile sampai? Awak mesti penat kan?"

"Takdelah penat sangat. Nak jumpa awak, hilang semua penat saya."

"Awak ni, ade-ade sajelah."

"Erm, malam ni awak nak makan dekat mana?"

"Ape kate restoran dekat tasik tu."

"Boleh jugak. Saya pun dah lame tak makan dekat situ. Jom!"

I remembered the time I met her. The first time that we went out together. It's not easy for me though. Heart pounding, and the nervousness around me. I tried to calm myself. It was a beautiful night. Clear skies and fine weather. No obvious sign that it is going to rain. She really look beautiful that night. Seingat aku, dia memakai baju ungu lembut, dan aku memakai baju 'kotak' kemeja kesayangan aku tu. In the car, we didn't talk much. I felt awkward and nervous. Aku cuba untuk bersahaja. Ceritalah apa yang terfikir di kepala. Aku dapat merasakan yang dia juga berasa kurang selesa. Tapi, aku lihat dia 'ok' je.

By the time we sat down, she was sitting in front of me. Nothing special. Just like going to a normal restaurant, order makanan goreng-goreng aje. Yelah, nak makan mewah-mewah, amboi!. We talked and have 'light' conversations. I don't know, but, so far as I can remember, I was the one that asks so many questions. This and that. Bla..bla..bla..

"Nanti, bila lagi boleh jumpa?"

"Ikut awaklah, nanti nak ulang-alik, jalan jauh, kesian awak."

"Erm, kalau camtu, tengoklah nanti camne. Pape nanti mesej-mesej jelah eh?."

"Ok, jalan elok-elok tau. Bye."

"Bye-Bye."

I took my handphone, press into the message menu: "Awak, terima kasihla sebab sudi keluar dengan saya malam tadi. Saya mintak maafla kalau saya buat awak kurang selesa, pakse awak ke. Anyway, thanks."
