What impressed me most in this film was the life experience of the protagonist. In those years when he left home, he experienced everything he could in his life. On the voyage, he met the first woman in his life: Elizabeth, an English lady. He tasted love for the first time. Barton has experienced a real test of life and death. He also met his real father, got an inheritance, and ushered in another where will you go?
It is not age that determines a person's perception of life, but experience. After experiencing countless things that ordinary people can't experience, Barton has his own understanding of fate. In fact, if an egg breaks and a chicken lays eggs, it will die. Fate is impermanent, and life is impermanent. Let nature take its course is the true meaning of life. We can never escape fate, so we have to let go.
This line is from "Rejuvenation" directed by david fincher and also translated into "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". I have seen this film four times, and I have different feelings every time. Sometimes I see love, sometimes I see growth, sometimes I see life, sometimes I see death. The film is adapted from Fitzgerald's short story The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The novel is not long, and the book opened at the age of 32 is about 200 pages, which won't last long. This novel tells the legendary life of Benjamin Barton. He was born in his sixties and seventies. The longer he grows, the younger he becomes. He spent his life in the inversion of time and space, and he realized the true meaning of life.
