The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button (2008)

Benjamin Button: [Voice over; letter to his daughter] 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, stop 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. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again. 

I have done a "REB-yu" of this film way back when Multiply.com was still alive but I don't mind doing again.

One of the Best Pictures of 2008 and usually what I called Forrest Gump ver2.0 but longer.

This is a kind of movie that you'll appreciate more the second time around.  Never though will watch it again because of the running time.

While it's a little gimmicky, it was wonderfully told and produced.  Having Brad, Cate and Taraji did not hurt as well and made the film shine.
