Watched “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” few weeks ago. I want to write about it, but I don’t know how to start.
I love this movie, although it makes me sad while watching, and sad for weeks afterwards.
As you said, watching the whole movie I just keep thinking about you, not really a particular scene. But some scenes makes me think of you more, like when Daisy & Benjamin are looking themselves in mirror, when Benjamin’s father is talking about buttons, and the typhoon.
I agree the directing of David Fincher is very different from Zodiac & Seven (Sorry, haven’t watched Fight Club yet). Actually, I don’t know how it’s technically different. I don’t even know what's the exact role of a director in movies. This is not sth I care most. Usually I only care whether I enjoy the movie, how it inspires me.......... later I may be interested in how the movie is made.
I assume.........the role of director is like a story teller. These stories are totally different, and therefore, he has to tell it in a different way. He’s a good story teller.
To me, this movie is more about life. You meet different people in your life, they come and go. And then you meet someone very important, and your life changed.
“You can be as mad as a mad dog at the way things went. You could swear, curse the fates, but when it comes to the end, you have to let go.”

I keep thinking about the issue of “let go”.
..........
Don’t know what to say. I feel puzzled. This is not the first time I lost someone that I love. I know what to do, I keep doing it every day. However, I still live in pain.
May be........it’s just not a skill that can be learnt. Getting more practice does not positively correlate with your performance / results. Every time you lost sth important, you have to learn it all over again – learn to live a life without them.
In this case, isn’t it better to be alone? No love, no happiness, no pain, no hope, no disappointment. Nothing ever existed, nothing need to let go.
