As it is the film is a love story with a rather fantastical twist, but in Fincher's hands, its an examination of the connections between time, life, and history. This is definitely more important than Slumdog Millionaire (but among the 5 nominees, I believe it's Milk that deserves to be called Best Picture most).Oggs Cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03041599863258946384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31058461.post-5486404957879842412009-01-27T08:27:00.000+08:002009-01-27T08:27:00.000+08:00I argued strongly with a writer-friend of mine who...I argued strongly with a writer-friend of mine who thought the movie was excruciatingly painfully long that that was entirely the point. I said that it's not about the aging of Benjamin Button per se, but his aging backwards pitted against the passage of time and unfolding of history, ehehe. Though I liked Slumdog more than BB, I still think that Fincher deserves the accolades which Boyle has been getting so far. And looks like he's headed to Oscars as well. What you think, Oggs? You've seen the two films.jayclopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15292414049532804276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31058461.post-83244816332021933952009-01-20T22:49:00.000+08:002009-01-20T22:49:00.000+08:00Sorry, I know that is not the right place but I ca...Sorry, I know that is not the right place but I can´t find a mail contact.<BR/><BR/>Hello my name is Francisco Calvelo and I directed the short film "Vampire Prison" (Santiago de sangre) produced by Perro Verde Films (Zombie Western, Going Nuts, the Missing Lynx) and starring Eloy Azorín (All about my mother).
