Every now and then I am going to post a movie scene which I think is brilliant, and you can say if you agree or disagree with my choice.
The first in the series is from “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” when we see how much little decisions and things that happen can have a major impact on events which unfold.
This was one of my favorite scenes from “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”. Not only, like you said, is it a great demonstration of how the slightest events can alter a life, it happens to be a well constructed scene, the pacing of the editing in particular is incredible.
A quote I just read that sort of related to what this scene is saying, “One of the most significant facts about us may finally be that we all begin with the natural equip to live a thousand kinds of life but in the end having lived only one.” – Clifford Geertz
And BTW, I love this idea for a series. Great stuff!
Thanks, glad you like the idea. Lets just see how many more I can put into the series.
I disagree. That was one of the sequences that I hated in that movie. It was already long and now you going to have this dreadful montage. Please.
Your not the biggest Benjamin Button fan are you Branden! I can totally understand your point though. Its like a short film inside a film, I still really love the whole concept of it all.
