A Button for Mother’s Day
Last night, WE and I watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Can I just say, I LOVED it! I thought it was delightful. And not to mention completely fascinating to watch Brad Pitt age backwards. I give David Fincher major props for that (and of course the film’s no-namer-technology guru).
So…if you decide to watch the movie you’ll find Big Fish-esque storytelling, an interesting perspective on time and how we use it, a not sad but not your typical happy ending love story, and of course a beautiful tribute to mothers.
Hence my post today.
Some people give their lives to give birth. Some people sacrifice all to care for others. Some people love you no matter how different you are. Some people are always right there watching/cheering at your most triumphal moments. These people have Mother hearts.

Thank for “making a dent” in my life, Mom! ILYPTM…
I’ve been wanting to watch this. It hasn’t been available yet.
Thanks A2! Exactly what do you mean by “dent”?
That’s a reference to the last line of the movie. You’ll have to watch it to find out =)
A2-I’m a fan of this movie too! It’s been a really long time since I’ve liked anything Hollywood has come out with. I’ve been sticking to foreign and independent films lately…
