Next stop --"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". I do adore Pitt & Blanchett.
Let's see if it continues with this movie...For starters, I didn't have the pleasure of reading the book, but The Great Gatsby-- I've read. They are ofcourse both written by F. Scot Fitzgerald. Interest sparked in the beginning...a baby born wrinkley, with athritis..heart condition, like an 80 year old man --- lives each passing year looking younger and younger -- who wouldn't be caught with that kind of plot...what will happen to him? The narration as a whole is slow and leisurely, like the character of the man himself. There was an element of innocence and freshness in the scenes that reminds me of Forrest Gump. Admittedly, this was not a award winning piece for both of them.. not that they acted shabby. Their characters are just too squared -- i will not say the same with the script -- i like how the supporting characters made the story REAL for the two leads. And i love the new orleans "twang" -- Pitt & Blanchett are both beautiful in this movie but i felt they had no on-cam chemistry. They glowed individually but not together --- but still it was a REALLY GOOD watching experience as a whole. Will read the printed version soon.
