Actually, one of my new teachers said it was her favorite "new" movie. I remember seeing a trailer for this before cloverfield or something. Is it "forest gumpish" in it's story telling? or is it just a fixed storyline? |
Its "forest gumpish" in that you have a character who is afterwards reading Benjamin Button's diary, but it is narrated by Brad Pitt. So yes, in that respect it is Forest Gumpish. It works pretty well though, as it adds some complexity to the story considering who is reading the diary.
I really can't say enough good things about it. I would totally go see it again. It is also my favorite movie for the year.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
