This film is the sort of film you have to watch several times ..to let it sink in.. so many gorgeous scenes.. visually stunning..wish i'd seen it on the big screen..must get a bigger tele ! .. this scene makes me cry well actually it makes me sob !!...if you are young take this advice !!....music is perfect too.. .....xxxx
@socksumi because Slumdog Millionaire and Benjamin Button has a similar message. Live your life the way you want it. Take care of the ones you love and appreciate those who stand by you..
Or something like that. I love both but yes, I think this movie should have won. Slumdog Millionaire had more "fun" sort of speak.

@heybofe If God would say: "There are no rules to this thing" ? A lot of religious people will be disappointed. ;-)

After watching Benjamin Button how the hell did Slumdog Millionaire win best picture?

@socksumi I felt the same way. That was a good movie, but Benjamin Button is way better

Traduite en francais.. belle lecon de vie:
"Pour ce que cela vaut: il n'est jamais trop tard (ou dans mon cas trop tôt), pour être tout ce dont tu veux être
Il n'y a pas de limite de temps: arrête quand tu le veux!
Tu peux changer ou rester le même
Il n'y a pas de règles à ces choses la
Tu peux y prendre le meilleur ou le pire. J'espère que en tirera le meilleur parti
