Life isn’t measured in minutes but in moments.
With that preamble the curious case of Benjamin Button(adapted from a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald)follows a character'life whose born with the appareance of an old man and grows yunger and yunger as the year pass on.His mother dies giving birth to him and his father horrified by his son’s wrinkled face first intends to throw him in a river but then changes his mind and decided to abandon him on the doorstep of an old folks home managed by a couple of africans(Queenie and Tizzy).Queenie considers Benjamin(Brad Pitt) a miracle and decided to adopt and raise him as his own child despite his appareance.As he gets old he ages backwards turning a decript curious man into a toddler .Along his way he meets Daisy( Cate Blackett)the granddaugher of one of the folks home tenants, and he falls in love instantly.They start a friendship that evolves into love for the rest of their life despite the impossible circonstances,so the have to deal with their going in opposite direction.From technically prospective the movie in flawless.Make up and CGI effects are stunning(Brad Pitt tranformation in the centerpiece of the film),David Fincher's directing is fantastic but what really impressed me is the awsome colorfull cinematography.The scene where Benjamin and his dying father watching the sun,or the scene where Benjamin 80 by then is walking with Daisy along the trees where the leafs are falling down are such amazing.David Fincher's longtime collaborator Claudio Miranda took care of it.The score by Alexander Desplat(The Queen,Girl eith a pearl earring,the painted veil)is lovely.The screenplay is by Eli Roth whose script for Forrest Gump followed a similar narrative path.The movie is telling trought Benjamin's diary read from Daisy's daughter laid on her deadhbed.The most important element of this movie is the acting.The cast is extraordinary,with supporting performances like Jared Harris(the capitan of the tugboat)Julia Orgmond,Tilda Swington but aboveall Brad Pitt that as to play both adult and yung and the superb Cate Blanckett that has always give us an amazing perfomance.The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a story of a lifetime and how circumstances and people can change the course of life that is not measured in time but in precious moments.

Learning to write and speak a foreign language correctly requires having somebody to correct your grammar and usage errors.
Otherwise you may learn a substandard version of the language with deep-rooter mistakes and incorrect usages that are hard to get rid of.
A popular and tried-and-true way to learn languages involves writing texts in a foreign language on a daily basis and reading them aloud to a native speaker, who will correct any mistakes.
Native speakers or language professionals will review your text and correct all errors of style or grammar free of charge.
You can also request a sound recording of the spoken version of your corrected text that will let you hear the subtleties of pronunciation by a native speaker.
