  • oinoi

  • what a great movie!!it was so sad at the end!Daisy shouldn't let him go...

  • nice movie

  • It may not have gotten best film, but would definetly win the most boring, most overatted, most annoying and worst film of its year award.

  • very touching film. beautiful.

  • I didn't like it. I think I must have missed something???

    What was Benjamins reasoning for leaving Daisy and their child?

  • he didn't want her raiseing two children

  • he's getting younger and he will soon become a little child

  • I understood that but his mind wasn't getting younger, just his body.

    You see, the message I took from the movie was that we should leave our partners whilst still in our prime because we are inevitably going to deteriorate and become nothing more than a burden to them. I don't think that's a very good moral for a film to promote.

  • That's why I think I'm maybe missing something.

    Also when he was in his worst condition towards the end, she was left caring for him anyway (when he was in a similar state to an old person with dementia).

  • no, when he's becoming younger, he slowly lost his mind and his memory.

  • Yes, but it wasn't so much to do with his mind was getting younger, more to do with his mind deteriorating as it would with old age.

    When Daisy went to see him as a child the man who greeted her said his condition was comaparble to early dementia.

  • @Wh15ky Did you ever consider that your interpretation is wrong? Let me help you: You're wrong.

  • i love this movie!n i actually don`t like this stuff like romantic stuff etc... but this one really touched me!the ending yeah...maybe i few tears came off hahah but this is one of the best movies ever made!besides v for vendetta and silence of the lamb!if anyones knows where to download it in hq or really good quality please send me the link!

  • this film is so good! I love it!! And it's so touching.

  • P.s, unfortunately the hype, press and trailers for this film were not even a10th of Titanics if every one remembers at least 7 months before Titanic's release? Titanic seamed to hit and appeal to a far wider audience. Button is a classic its just gonna take more time for people to realise it. 5 star film all the way, a real tear jerker

  • great movie overall, but i agree with unclebogg, the ending was depressing as the fuck

  • this movie was sad as shit..

  • this was a very good movie! i just watched it.

  • wtf why has this not got all the reputation it should of had,i would rate this the same as titanic

  • I see your point but this film wasn't going to have the obvious (we knew it sank) end as Titanic with teen stars all the way threw and Cameron's (terminator, T2, Aliens, the abyss, titanic) flair for action sequences with the haunting score=Mega blockbuster.. This was Forest Gump with David Fincher (Great dark director, Fight Club, Seven etc) at the helm with Speilbergs production team paying for it. Didnt really appeal to teens nor historians etc even with Brad. It certainly is a CLASSIC tho.

  • ya i hope it gets way more views by peaple its the only film i reckon thats come out the same class as them amazing film makes you think about life in a different there the kinda films that need to be out not like transformers 2...

  • @topmarkms people don't understand the beauty of it.

  • Fantastic movie, sad ending

  • sad end are better cuz I sick of that every film Happy end

  • if u want to see i movie with out a happy ending watch public enemies, at the end ur gonna wish it had a happy ending

  • just like my ex husband jajaja!"

  • i have this movie and i love it but i didnt get the whole thing with the clock

  • yeah i didn't get that either

  • The clockwork's son went to war. And in the amount of time it took his son to go to war and come home in a coffin, the clockwork set about making a clock for the train station. After his son died, they put up the clock and realized that instead of going clockwise, it went counterclockwise. The clockwork is blind but he knew that the clock went backwards. He said he wanted it to be as if time were going backwards instead of forwards so that people could get a second chance.

  • I am watching this movie right now and im very very confused!!!...xxx

  • i cried about 500000 times in this movie lol

  • BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!

  • LOL I'm 7 but i look alot older was the funniest part LMAO xD :]

  • awesome work done by bred pitt and amazing movie..

    one of the best 10 movies ever made... +10 from 5

  • one of the greatest movies ever man. amazing

  • i saw this when it came out :-P

    it is suitable for a 12 year old but a 12 year old probably couldnt sit through it cause it lasts like 3 hours

    i mean im 14 n i struggled to watch for 3 hrs

    Itd a good story but it does get borin, then good, then borin

  • its much more than aging backwards

  • Next time you watch a movie, try to get through the whole thing before coming to a conclusion. I really think that if you would have watched the whole movie, you would have understood the message and possibly appreciated it. People like you piss me off.

  • I was thinkin how some things never last...and what a shame that is.

  • I feel the same way, I love this movie and hate when it ends

  • i just saw this today.i think i cried more than 15 times.

    it was great

  • one of the best films ive seen in my life. i dont cry for movies, but this one left me in tears

  • gr8 film

  • sad sad movie

  • Long film, but it really is nice :)

  • just watched this one.... its a beutiful movie :D

  • this was the best movie ever!

  • this movie was retty cool. it was also very sad. Loved it

  • i thought it was too long.. but ya no

  • I cryed soo much in that movie, but i have to say that was the best film i have seen in a long time!!!

  • this movie touched me in so many different emotions. i love the time line the movie has. i actually feel his loneliness and feelings of love, i actually sympathized with him. great movie definetlly in my top ten.

  • Best drama of 2008.

  • I think of the last 10 years... damn! i just finished the movie and exploded in tears lol

  • so did i

  • buge

  • i LOVED this movie,but does anybody know the name of that song that the old lady taught benjamin to play

  • What actress is, who appears in the minute 1:05?!!!

  • It's Madisen Beaty, I think.

  • Did Benjamin and/or Daisy have any (close) friends? If so, did they notice that Benjamin was not aging but getting younger? Did Benjamin ever have a job (when he was in his 20s I know he fixed bikes)? I guess he lived of his dad's money. How come no one noticed that Benjamin was getting younger except his mom, his dad and Daisy? Did Benjamin have friends at all?

  • LOVE THAT MOVIE

  • this movie was really really beatiful in every way. i loved the movie. i could watch it everyday and still never get tired f it..

  • brad pitt shouldve won the award

  • You DAMN right.

  • This movie starts off vary happy and the last 30 mins or so you will be crying like a baby. It's vary vary sad. But a vary good movie.

  • Best Movie EVER

    ~

  • This movie is kind of similar to Forrest Gump accept backwards and it's darker.

  • see the piano part with the old lady , where can I find it ?? please ? :)

    bye thanks

    gre

  • I like this movie a++

  • How old are you? Seven but I look 85.

  • es muy buena la pelicula facinante que drama excelente pelicula :)

  • i kno he dies a normal baby but SHOULDNT he die a giant baby

  • lol

  • i guess they figured that it would be a little too freakish to see someone with a normal person's stature but with infant features. i wondered that when i first saw it too

  • ya cuando sale brad pito la pelicula vale verga se hace bien pinche aburrida

  • I jizzed in my pants when I saw this movie at 5am in the morning.

  • ....that was one of the most ignorant comments I've seen today. (Hint: Both of the movies were not released in 2009.)

  • not if you're from England!

  • so benjamin was born a little old man. then shouldnt he die a giant baby

  • no he grew until he was tall enough for his age, then he grew backwards from there(i didnt watch it but im assuming it)

  • lmaooo

  • I actually saw this on christmas day.

    I'm sorry but this deserved to win best picture of the year.

    Slumdog was good, but it doesn't make you cry, give you goosebumps, and make you think about life in all perspectives when you leave the theater.

  • Yes.. well said :)

  • This is my favorite movie of all time.

    It has so much meaning.

    That true love trumps anything.

    So enchanting.

    And i cried like a baby.

  • this is what film making should be... not god damn movies just based on cgi.. fuck transformers, hulk, mummy, and every other CGI PIECE OF SHIT!!!

  • ...you know the when main character is tiny and old, he's actually cgi, right?

  • hha i love that man!

    I

  • i love thi freakin movie[:

  • I bought the DVD on Wednesday, watch it as soon as I got in. Then I watch the first half again in the evening, watched the second half part last night. And I just watch it again! I love this film. It's so simple and Benjamin is as "normal" as any other man! The big tearjerking moment for me was when Tizzy's friend takes him out and he misses the bus so he has to walk home all on his own :'(

  • But remember, he said it was the best day of his life. And when he was looking at the cuts on his hands he had a smile.

  • I love it. It makes me cry everytime I watch it. and Brad is soo sexyyy, yeah xD

  • Brad Pitt on that motorbike .. Woooow! i have just bought it on dvd and i have to say.. Brilliant!!

  • Brad Pitt dies at the end as a baby, in the arms of the elderly red head.

  • "have i ever told you i was struck by lighting seven times?"

    watched it last night.....wow what a movie

  • lol yea me and my freind cracked up at those parts!!

  • ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

  • this is not in my opion it is better

  • I don't care what morons like Metalrockisgay say,this movie is a master piece.

  • slumdog millionaire is better

  • I think those films are very different. We can't match them.

    Sorry for my english.

  • when i saw this film , i just think  about the time , in the two ways it's very hard for us toaccept our life!!!!

  • Agree.

  • Amazing movie, breathtaking :)

  • LMFAO, its so funny when the old man is like "do you know i got struck by lighting 7 times" then it shows the flashback

  • fucking awesome movie!!!! I like the part where benjamin explains how her knee accident happened.
