At the beginning myself and my friend truly thought they had put the wrong movie on.we decided to wait 5 mins.i have actually had this happen once where they put wrong movie on.we thought it was a jarrasicpark movie.anyhow as it moved along Tom hanks come into it and we knew it was correct. I might add we were the only ones in the cinema.it took us a while to figure out what was going on.then we went with the journey.it was different but Benjamin button movie was very different. I don't think males would like this movie and it is quite slow. We did take in one scene when his wife cried at her 50 th birthday saying she had all these plans in her life and could never find the time.and time had slipped away.we realise this ourselves as we r 60.live your life to forfill your dreams.this movie does play out life. and at 60 we have actually been touched by all the movie portrait.open your minds and go see .
