TIME TRAVEL

Very emotional movie

Omg how did i not know her name was daisy 😳

Benjamin loves her so much, and it's painful to know that he grows backward while she grow normal.

They only collides at the early 20s of their age which gave them a chance to do the love scene without awkward moment.

Savy Vargas YESSSSS!!!!

The lesson needing to be learned here is that no one lives forever. So we gotta make the most out of the time we have on earth.

I think it was real

Would you wanna live forever though? I certainly wouldnt less I could be young forever.

Nebula are we able to process that ability

Hm. Ok. I'm still confused.

That wuz deep

sj11791 shrink younger, would be the correct terminology.

That was a college question which is real deep

xxGALACTIKWARxx Well you don’t have to be so rude Mr Edgelord!

This happens a lot, and it is called alzheimer :'(

I still cry seeing the last part. I think its also because even though he has had a lifetime... She is holding a baby while he closes his eyes for the last time. No matter which way you look at it ... Its a powerfully sad scene. Even though i know its coming....i still cry.

Youre right. It killes me while i saw Benjamin died as baby. 😞

@@katherinefielder3415 my granddad from war , died he forgot how to breathe, hurts my heart, every started to hurt me slowly

The scariest thing is knowing that happens in real life where a person can forget their whole life, the people their loved ones who they are and all we can do is watch

🥺 strange thin. I miss my grandad, my cat baggy and the cats. The people, their still there the people just people change. I last month doing my room, put the ps2 on, memory card of all the saves. And there was eyetoy photos of my sisters, brother and sis friends. So young, curious of the world, not sure but it was a good time. There were setbacks on things. But as I look at the pictures. And even people on internet 2013, remember them as they came around. Yeah this film I saw in 2008 up London cinema little famous square with my brother and his friend. It was a good but now watching this I just cried just now, thinking my god time is precious. I love my family very much. And the people I know or knew I think of them at times.

Daisy Didn't Die

some win lottery and go to america

name of the soundtrack?

@@phimanh8247 did you?

@@WJstudios04 no but I will

Siddharth Pareek “Bethena”

Oh shut up Karen, that didnt happened!

Keyz Radio but it probably did some people just think they know everything

The 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗿 scares me. I dont think im normal...

Im a father, I know what was going through his head....

I think that’s because the movies reminds him many people in his life. Just like the movie said, “We meant to lose the people we love, how else would we know how important they are to us?”

Luna moonfang SAMEEEE, OMGGGG!!!!

@TheDarkArtist good one😂😂

Me tooo😭😭😭

me too!!!

Same

how did daisy die during a devastation?

Steve Mankidy she died during a super bad real life hurricane

@@markcasadevall9509 oh..

@@humanbean7559 you know, I didnt catch that, New Orleans...during that scene I forgot where they were, tragic :(

She was blessed to dodge a natural tragedy

Ethan Moreau that would be a miracle

Kinda defeats the purpose of the entire film

I know right

Lol

That would have been great!

Mr. Tey I was more in awe of the screenplay and the acting but yes. I however enjoyed fincher’s work better in gone girl.

@@A.A_xv Its Eric Roth... The screenplay is bound to be top class

My favorite too... really deep film full of lifes adventures

What the fuck , same thing happens to me

me too :,(((

I’m crying watching it now

Woke up, only to rewatch the scene and cried again

I’m crying rn reading this

Life is full of surprises.

Cate acting is superb no doubt she won more than once Academy

And 0:56 the fact that Daisy left her family to take care of him

it's sorta the same with an older person with dementia , both ends of life are similar

Vega me too 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Welcome to the club... as a father I cried with her daughter scenes...

Me too😭 my heart is just dying. I can-

Hey girl it's not real please dont cry

you cant prevent someone not to sweat just because it’s sport. crying is reaction from inside

A beautiful scene !

Same brother it hits me the hardest everytime

Exactly man..

Indeed still makes me shed a tears all these years later

Thanks for giving me another thing to worry about :,)

username checks out

Nothing

i’m rather curious actually

Stfu edgelord

for me the saddest scene was when exactly Benjamin came to see his family and his wife didn't recognize him for a moment , i really felt depressed and i was like why did he leave them but he did the right thing, he wanted to protect his family , it's really a masterpiece ,otherwise , the movies shows you how people love you and try to get close to you when you are young and rich and stunning ..

Ticking backwards too, but time, like everything else, washes away. Very powerful.

The last line of the movie is, “...but nothing lasts.” Even though the words aren’t spoken.

That was spoken with the water as well as the clock

Actually the one with the clock is very interesting. If you notice, the clock is not moving clockwise but anti-clockwise. Perhaps that symbolizes the life of Benjamin - moving backwards. Also, if you remember in the beggining of the film, the man who manufactured the clock wanted to create a clock that could bring back in time, one that could save his son from dying in the war. Very heartbreaking and an excellent cinematic detail, and a great film overall.

Another part that gets me is Captain Mike smiling, and having his arms wide open, on his boat. The freeness in his demeanor, the sky in the background, I hope to go like that.

I love it especially the ending like your pointed out it shows how everyone is different but in the end we all pass on

Shafeeq Ali 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Yup

My condolences.

I think Daisy mentioned it;He doesn't even remember anyone or eating breakfast

Queenie's daughter was the new caretaker of the house and probably told him too.

ME TOO ,(((

Same

Movies that made me cry: 1. Benjamin Button 2. The Color Purple 3. ET The Extra Terrestrial 4. The Wiz 5. Mulan

omg same with me

Omg saaaaame

🤍🤍🤍

Wow, that's powerful 🎹🕰️

I don't think it was a retirement home, he was the owner of a button company after all.

What a sweet son you have ❤️

awwawww

*teaches

Teachers and agreed we all have so little time on this planet so we must make do with what we have

Aviator sucked. Had it moments sure but mostly a waste of time

@@aunnyy eh it was okay

Wait what where how do you know this

@@almighty5839 The phrase "Nothing lasts" is repeated throughout the movie. This is a classic Hollywood technique to lead to a powerful ending line. Think of "Here's looking at you, Kid." But this movie uses a brilliant alternate version of that technique. Though "Nothing lasts" Has been imprinted in our minds, and everything about the epilogue leads up to saying it, the words aren't explicitly said. Instead, the epilogue just hangs, feeling unfinished. It leaves you expecting the words "but nothing lasts" Though, the narrator doesn't explicitly say the words, he doesn't need to at this point. As long as you have paid attention to the movie, the words "but nothing lasts" should just come to your mind automatically." Though, they take a real gamble in this, as many people probably missed it, but if you are one of the lucky ones who DO pick it up, the imagery that follows the epilogue (Some know Shakespeare,. some swim, some dance, etc.) communicates the phrase "but nothing lasts" perfectly with imagery alone (The clock being washed away in the water along with everything else) By NOT explicitly stating the words, It leaves you feeling blessed that you caught it. Watch again from 3:14

@@sethother8012 ahhh omg thank you makes much more sense now

@@almighty5839 Awesome. Yeah, this one can give ya goosebumps. lol

@@sethother8012 yup scene always makes me cry ngl

Maximillian Osaben “Tedious?” It’s a beautiful movie Several stories being told besides Benjamin’s “Tedious?”

@@jacksmith3189 - I would compare it to Forrrest Gump, but that movie is generally far more light-hearted. Benjamin Button is a long movie though, and far more dramatic, which is the main reason why I say it is tedious. It's a beautiful film though through and through. Under-appreciated despite all the acclaim. Not trying to critique.

Agreed. I love the book, Fitzgerald made it as touching as the movie and had it told below 80 pages. The movie is way too drawn out but still a very touching movie indeed.

Cheesy is the right word

Jack Smith Tedious indeed.

Same I never cry and this got me

Depressing but great.

It’s actually my favorite movie

Same here

Just watched it on encore ❤

I am crying so much at this scene

theres dust in my eyes.

A0 .XGhost that’s if u don’t die

donnysf it’s all written brother. One of us will reply back here in ten years. I hope a response back is made! Whoever of us it is ✊🏼

Exactly the same here for me. See you in ten years.

Eddie Gonzalez ✊🏼

That comm is also really depressing=)))

Same

Not the end of our life... Just the fact that it will eventually end, and that ourtime her is finite - hence, we should enjoy it the best we can. (An 80 yr-old guy who never did anything nor went anywhere didn't live as much as a 30 yr-old guy who really experimented life).

Life is beautiful because it ends

@manojgabriel84 So true. People forget that. An immortal life would become dull and meaningless. You would wish for death eventually.

It really is amazing realizing how everything in life comes full circle. How we come into the world as infants, and how one day,if we're fortunate enough to live a full life, end up as feeble infants having to be cared for all over again..really is an interesting yet frightening to concept.

Made me so sad I overdosed on pills the other day

ever heard of punctuation? that fucking hurt to read.

PUNCTUATION. It matters.

Well I would love to have been born old and died as a baby.

It’s funny how so many people say this is such a sad movie, yet it’s basically the same story of every person on earth that lives a ripe full age. With couples, one partner usually goes first.

I feel the same way. We don't know what happened but we can only imagine that this would be a horrific time to live. And daisy is kinda lucky that she died before that...

@@BlueMoonlight777 During the "present day" scenes of Daisy telling the story of Benjamin in her deathbed to her, Hurricane Katrina was happening. That's why you see water flooding everywhere along with evacuation sirens going off. It was a very devastating event that struck New Orleans in real life.

The scene of water (chair moving) and the clock, is symbolism for how life starts The water is the fluids for the egg and sperm to meet, the chair is Benjamin as a sperm, and the clock being hit with water is the egg (or testicles)

My son is nearly two years old and this scene also reminds me so much of him as well. It's really something when even parents are moved by this movie.
