Thank you for this!

I loved this. I'm always obsessed with time, about the temporary nature of things, about how humans are supposed to be stable and consistent while stuck in an ever evolving, changing, dying form - how you're never the same day after day.

So this movie absolutely fascinated me. One of the things I loved the most was the obvious, but emotional, "we met in the middle" piece of dialogue between Daisy and Bejamin.

Also, Benjamin's sense of beauty being about the spirit, although Daisy is of course a stunning beauty, but she's more than that and that's why he loves her and had an affair with Elizabeth as well.

The mother/son relationship between Benjamin and Queenie was the highlight for me. What passion and bond, unbreakable and responsible for keeping them both alive for a period when they were both on the margins of what they wanted their lives to be.

How Cute Is She

I love this movie.

I'm not a huge Brad Pitt fan and this made me realize I should be. Yeah I liked him in Fight Club but in TCCOBB, I LOVED him. I thought he brought something to the role. Plus, you know, he was nice to look at, lol.

Rachel, I completely agree. I was never a huge Brad Pitt fan except for Fight Club but this movie made me fall in love with him. Not only his character, who was one of the best movie characters imaginable, but Brad himself. I never realized how good of an actor he was and ..of course he is freaking beautiful. I mean those shots of him on the motorcycle.

But this movie totally changed my life, it is so special to me. There is just something so amazing and real about it. And Daisy and Benjamin's love story is epic to me in so many ways. I would tear up randomly at the movie because it was so beautiful, their love, and heartbreaking at the same time. Gahh, their love story is so amazing

- bad romance -

I saw this film at the weekend and I absolutely adore it, truly amazing, and I'm not usually a Brad Pitt fan but I thought he was outstanding.

How Cute Is She

Plus seeing Brad becoming younger and younger, my god. Like everyone else I was an alright fan with him. Loved him in Fight club and Interview with the vampire but this film he was so great in.
