I really liked this movie…the first time that I saw it. Forrest Gump. I feel like the best people in French cinema need to supervise any American movie that tries to be meditative because consistently falls short when reaching for sublime. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button aspires to philosophical greatness, but really is a showcase to go “Ta da! Isn’t Brad Pitt hot?!?” to which I reply, “No.” If you put Meet Joe Black next to this one, exact same physical expressions. He’s not an actor, he is a photograph.
