“I was born under unusual circumstances.” So begins the film adaptation of this 1920s story about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story, set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918 into the 21st century, a journey that is as unusual as any man’s life can be. Directed by David Fincher (Se7en, Fight Club) from a screenplay by Eric Roth (Forrest Gump, The Good Shepherd), screen story by Eric Roth and Robin Swicord (Memoirs of a Geisha, Little Women), “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” stars Oscar nominees and winners Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchette, Tilda Swinton, and Julia Ormond. It is a grand tale of a not-so-ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the loves he finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.

This review is from: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: The Making of the Motion Picture (Hardcover)
Gorgeous pictures of an exquisite motion picture. Even seeing how they managed the incredible special effects doesn't take away from the power and beauty of the film.
Just see the movie first, don't spoil it for yourself. The book will be a treasured momento of a stupendous film. By the way, it's a full-sized, gorgeous coffee table book, a great gift for a favorite film buff - or just someone who adored the movie. ENJOY!

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a film that melds the elements of a great script and special effects into a phenomenal project. Watching the film I was entranced by how the film makers seamlessly applied the cgi with real actors and places. If you loved the film you'll particularly love this beautiful coffee table book. It's packed with beautiful photos, actor and director commentary and a behind the scenes look at the special effects employed in the film. It's a great addition to the library of any fan of modern cinema.

A bit disappointed,
By John Kong "John" (Skull Island) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: The Making of the Motion Picture (Hardcover)
I'm a big Fincher fan and liked this movie a lot, so I bought the book. Unfortunately, it's just a lot of big pictures from the movie with quotes and things like that. There isn't as much new information or behind the scenes stuff as I had hoped. Get it if you're a big fan of Fincher or the movie but otherwise I would skip.
