The Curious Case of Benjamin Button/Fridge


 * In The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Brad Pitt's performance as the titular Benjamin is very understated and down-to-earth, just as you'd expect Benjamin himself to be. There are a lot of little treats that reflect this approach, but that's not what this entry is about. During some of the saddest scenes of the film, such as when  or , Benjamin has this little smile on his face. At first, I thought that this meant that he was being wooden, but I got to thinking about it. Then it hit me. That little smile? That's the face that Benjamin shows the world when he's crying inside. I like the movie even better since I made that realization. - Aranis.
