The Curious Case
So I saw the Curious Case of Benjamin Button today.
Went with roommate and her friend. I cried. They didn't.
Like... chin trembling, throat aching sort of cry.
*gets teary again, thinking about it*
So, basically, I pretended that I didn't and on our merry way home we came.
It was a long movie. Very, very good, but long.
It was one of those movies where it ended, and the audience was dead quiet and still.
I keep thinking that I want to talk about it; my impressions, my feelings, in what ways it provoked me. But I can't. I'm not articulate enough and I'm certainly not smart enough to dissect every nuance.
It's worth seeing. And it's worth seeing again.
It reminds me of Titanic in a lot of ways. You know the end of the story, and yet your pulled into the characters until you hurt when they hurt. You cry when they cry.
My only question, and the thing that bothers me, is the metaphore in Hurricane Katrina. What does it symbolize? Anyone have any thoughts? Everything I come up with doesn't seem concrete enough.
