The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (oh oops, edited to say: no spoilers!)

Sigh. So depressed during and after watching this movie.

I could go into a long spiel about the various themes of this movie that I find interesting... but maybe not...

Thing is, epics like these always make me depressed, which is I guess why books always depress me. They are more often epics. And the thing about epic movies that cover a person's life from birth to death, is that a person's life is covered in the 2 or so hours... it's like a person's life in a nutshell, no matter how detailed the movie is, it's still just a few hours... which is a reflection of the length of a real life, just a blink on this speck of blue.

haha i find it even more depressing realizing that the "epic" of my life probably can be summarized in less than half an hour - or even less! but hey, you have a huge part in it - u will have at least 15 min face time!!
