I hope you.... from The curious case of Benjamin Button

[ImHereForMJ]

I like to think that I've always had the same thoughts as this character does, but I definitely do now. This is MY path & nobody else can alter that for me.

[partygirl209]

what a wise man!!

[2011stockholm]

I feel like Caroline did. A disappointment. A wasted life, and too late to start over. This movie, and obviously this scene in particular, inspired me.

[xandekocsi]

this scene is fucking awesome

[indahoodisgood]

@xandekocsi I agree brother

[Studskul]

This scene change my life. After working my career for 16 years it inspired me to do what I didn't think I had the courage to do.

I gave up my job and everything i knew to a new city where I did not know a single person. 1 1/2 years later I am so glad I came. I met the love of my life who I been with for the past year, but now she feels how I did last year

I am sending her this link.

If she finds that she isn't happy, i hope she has the strength to start all over again

Love you my Angel

[suryholmescruise]

MY LIFE TOO! IT´S AMAZING HOW ONE SECENE COULD HAVE THE POWER TO DO THAT...

@Maloperverso Why did you post this?

[johanespereira]

The best scene i've seen in years. Perfectly done, simple in the right pitch of voice.

[grizzlyman87]

its scenes like this that make me feel so hopeful that i cringe, because its so beautiful and makes me want to live like that but I don't know how

[themartin34]

@grizzlyman87 Figure it out and then have the courage to follow through. That will make all the difference.

[sixamsedna]

@grizzlyman87 so well said, my sentiments exactly.

[carlyag11]

@grizzlyman87 i agree with you a billion percent. i couldnt explain it any more perfectly.

[sodaboy7]

i dont know why dat slumdog millionaire got everythin.

its ridiculous.

THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE

[FuskaTv]

@sodaboy7 Well in my opinion i think slumdog was the most exciting film because of the fact thtta films like it dont come around very often, it was very excentric. but this film is the most timeless, it's more of a story dominating plot than plot dominating story unlike slumdog. but i'm willing to bet that those who have seen this and slumdog would sit through Benjamin Button more times than Slumdog. It's just a timeless film. it should have won the oscar.

[marshall9doom]

@FuskaTv

Its a rare films that really touches one's feelings. I've watched Slumdog, it made me angry and sad but compared to Benjamin Button, its a comedy show. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is one of those films that really makes you reflect on your life. How you spent and will spend it. In addition that the film pops up the question, is living in this world all worth it? If so, what is there to cherish about? This film has tremendous impact to the way I look at life...

[TheDobleEE]

@sodaboy7 Money and business my friend... thats why...

[kometincelayence]

@sodaboy7 i see this movie over and over and still wondering the same, this movie is amazing, sorry my bad english

[smilelikumnit]

@sodaboy7 I was so upset at the lack of recognition this movie received! It's based on an incredibly beautiful short story by one of the most gifted writers of the 20th century. Fitzgerald used the most beautiful, romantic descriptions in his writings, and I think this movie captured the visual aspect of the story very well. Such a shame that many works of art are disregarded because of an award that persuades the population into thinking they should be seeing only one film based critics' views.

[smilelikumnit]

@smilelikumnit based on critics' views.**

[requiem4neverland]

The best scene of 2008 from Best Picture of 2008.

This scene gonna make u watch the movie once again.

simply loved it, the words he says in this scene can only be said by a person who lived a reverse life.

Great Piece of Art.

[jcaudill6921]

I come on here just to watch this scene, every time I'm feeling down. I find it inspirational.

[renpt07]

Espero que tenha uma vida da qual você se orgulhe.

E se descobrir que não tem,

Espero que tenha forças para começar novamente.

[poisinlotus89]

[Rivet2011]

[tqb43]

postcards, from the soundtrack

[xXxEchosChildxXx]

@Rivet2011 It's part of the soundtrack, I think this one is postcards (track 1) Alexandre Desplat is the composer. All of the album is available on limewire and on iTunes ($20).
