Day 55

Today in literati I had a challenge in letters with just as challenging of an opponent. I sadly had to trade in my letters a few times since I could not move at all. It did not help and my opponent won by a landslide. To make matters even worse my opponent had zero manners. Here is how the board turned out:

Today's Movie: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

What a movie, where to begin.

The main character is obviously Benjamin. Benjamin is a very unique individual. We begin with a man who made a clock only went backwards. His thought was that way we could rewind time and bring back all the boys who died in WW2. It will tie in to our main character's life in an odd way.

Benjamin is born and his mother will die momentarily after. She makes her husband promise he will take care of the baby. When he sees his son he freaks out grabbing him and running off. We find him near the waterway where I believe he truly intended to throw the baby. An officer will appear and question what he is doing and in fear he will run. Quite possibly it was just the event to save the wretch we will come to meet. Benjamin is picked up by a woman who will take him in. She believes God has put him there for a reason. The doctor after looking at him confirms while he appears to be an infant he truly is an 80 year old man with cataracts and arthritis. Believing this baby will die she keeps him to at least let him enjoy what life he might live.

Benjamin will live a full life. There is only one problem with this. Everyone he knows is growing older. They are dying. He as each day passes grows younger. A child trapped in an old man's body cannot be a child. A child with an old man's body certainly cursed as he grows younger to be an old man in a child's body. How can he live a normal life? He tries. He even falls for a girl he meets, Daisy. Daisy is normal though. She will grow older as Benjamin grows younger. Though in reality he is only a couple years older than her.

They do become friends though their lives will put them on separate paths that over the years will cross numerous times. So much in fact that they will have a relationship. At that point they are actually in appearance the same age. Or as it is put "We met in the middle.".

I would love to say so much more about this movie. I fear I cannot without being a spoiler of a fantastic film. An emotional roller coaster ride that proves in so many ways that it does not matter how you start or finish your life just that you not take it for granted and live it.

In IMVU I actually did a couple things. For the main project I did something Celtic. For a separate project I made a sticker. here is how those turned out:
