I still remember the first time I saw the old man: a dissolute teenager gave us a basin of cold water on the spot. That uninhibited smile is like the summer sun. It's glaring, but it's not very annoying. However, in the blink of an eye, he became an old man. If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, we wouldn't have believed it was the same person.

In fact, there have been cases of rejuvenation in the history of the United States. It also reminds me of an intriguing movie in the United States: by David. Directed by Finch, Brad. The movie "Rejuvenation" starring Pete. The story mainly revolves around one main character, Benjamin Button.

The film tells the bizarre story of a man who was born as an old man, lived younger and younger decades later, and finally became a baby who died in swaddling clothes.

The story takes place in New Orleans, Louisiana, from November 11, 1918, at the end of World War I, to the last week of August 2005 when Hurricane Katrina struck the southern United States.

The story is flashbacked, from the dying heroine Daisy and her daughter Caroline, reading the protagonist Benjamin. Barton's diary, and began its saga.

Protagonist Benjamin. Barton (Brad. Pete) has a peculiar body and is born like an 87-year-old man. Her mother died in childbirth and was abandoned in a nursing home by her father, Thomas, as a freak.

Luckily, Queenie, a kind-hearted black female nurse who couldn't have children, adopted him and named him Benjamin.

Then, Benjamin began to grow up against the laws of ordinary growth. Strangely, his body became slightly more energetic with age. And, thanks to the psychic suggestion help of the priest, he learned to walk from a wheelchair.

Benjamin spent his childhood in a nursing home and met a second woman who completely changed his life, Daisy, Mrs. Fuller's granddaughter.

Daisy, a little girl who was only 6 years old at the time. She came to visit her grandmother. Her cuteness and innocence completely conquered the heart of the "old man" Barton. And Barton's equally sincere and clear heart also touched little Daisy. The love between the two began to sprout......

As he grew, Benjamin later became a seaman on the Chelsea. Captain Mike leads Benjamin. Barton went to the brothel, Benjamin. For the first time in his life, Barton experienced prostitution. His father, Thomas, met Benjamin by chance and invited him to drink, but did not recognize him.

He then left Daisy. Sail around with the ship. During this time, he kept sending postcards back to Daisy, and thus began a relationship. More than a decade later, the flames of World War II burned the world even more violently. In the midst of the turmoil, Benjamin. Patton, like many Americans, came to England by ship from the United States to contribute to the war against fascism.

During this time, he met all kinds of characters, witnessed the tragedies of real life, and experienced the greatest splendor of human nature. Among them. In the hotel in Murmansk, Benjamin met the married woman Elisabeth. Albert, the two became lovers. However, their love ended because Elizabeth was married.

Soon after, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, and the USS Chelsea was requisitioned by the U.S. Navy to work on salvage and search and rescue.

In one of the wars, its tugboats met the enemy. Both are doomed. In the end, only 3 people survived, and he was among them.

Former colleagues have gone before him. And these experiences gave him a new understanding of life and life: "When things don't go well, you can be like a mad dog and angry with the people around you, or you can curse fate." But at the end of the day, you still have to let go. ”

"We are doomed to lose the people we love, otherwise how would we know how important they are to us.".

A few years later, when he returned to the nursing home, he met Daisy.

Then. Benjamin. Barton, who has become an adult man in his 50s, refuses to sleep with Daisy.

Soon after, he was invited by his father, Thomas, to learn of his origins in his father's factory. By this time, Thomas was seriously ill. Handed over his 124-year-old family business button factory to Benjamin. Barton.

Not long after, his father Thomas passed away, and he and his adoptive mother attended the funeral.

At this time, Daisy, who was Benjamin's childhood sweetheart, became the only American in the ballet company. 's career is in full swing, and he falls in love with another actor. Benjamin came to see Daisy's performance and wanted to tell her about his father's death. But seeing Daisy bathing in love, Benjamin had to leave gloomily.

Unfortunately, Daisy was in a car accident on the street due to a series of accidents during a performance in Paris, which prevented her from returning to the ballet stage. Benjamin. Patton received the telegram and visited, but the two were unable to go any further. Benjamin leaves Daisy and spends some time outside, slowly becoming like a mature man in his 40s.

In the spring of 1962, Daisy returned to the nursing home and was reunited with Benjamin. The two formed their own family and began a passionate married life. At this time, Benjamin's body returned to the sexy man in his 30s.

Subsequently, Daisy became a dance school teacher and had a daughter. Benjamin. Barton realizes that he will continue to grow smaller, and eventually become like a child. In order to give Daisy a normal life, he sold all his real estate and property, and then handed it over to Daisy and left.

Once again, Benjamin embarks on a journey around the world, working various jobs around the world, while Daisy remarries a widower.

More than a decade later, the two met again at the hotel where Benjamin was staying. Although time cannot be stopped, Benjamin's love for Daisy has never changed. Cruelly, Daisy is aging, while Benjamin is getting younger......

A few years later, Benjamin. Barton transforms into a child and returns to the nursing home. As his memory begins to fade, the police find his diary in his backpack and give it to Daisy. However, Daisy takes care of him like her own child.

Finally, in 2003, Benjamin. Barton transforms into a baby and lies in Daisy's arms, closes his eyes, and dies. At that moment, Daisy knew that Benjamin recognized her.

At this time, Daisy, who is a memory person, is lying in the hospital. Hurricane Katrina died quietly when he hit the southern United States......

This movie tells an indescribable truth, which makes people unable to let go of it for a long time after watching it.

I still remember that after Duoduo watched this movie, he cried pear blossoms with rain. He also stupidly said to me, "Never leave me".

Many people can't help but be moved by this story.

Some people say: This is a strange beginning, doomed to a strange end. A magical story, composing an extraordinary life, a nursing home frequented by death, as dead and silent as a womb, but it became Benjamin. Barton's spiritual home interprets the calmness and poetry of life and death.

It is a surging youthful lust, a crew life that is home all over the world, writing a natural and calm absurd story, leaving irreparable life regrets.

A young and lively girl, with the heart of a legendary old child, made a lifelong vow, and performed a life of parting, a hundred turns and thousands of times of the epic of love.

The love that touches the soul always makes the viewer emotional, and the love that is destined to be unrewritten is the most poignant swan song in the world.

"Rejuvenation", a story of time and space; A memory of a dying person's life; A quiet reading; A long and lengthy narrative with many vicissitudes of life made me smell the bleakness of life, the impermanence of life and death, and the helplessness of love.

Whether it's a clock with the hour hand turned upside down, an impending storm, or an unexpected war. Or a 68-year-old former lover who crossed the English Channel, a self-proclaimed tattoo artist captain, a hummingbird that flapped its wings 80 times a second in order to survive......

It is like a brilliant pearl that connects life into an incomparably beautiful necklace. It constitutes a myriad of profound intersections in our minds and hearts.

And at these countless meeting points, including each of us, there is only one destined to be unable to let go calmly. It was not only Benjamin's dense diary that he wrote all his life, but also the last summary of his life and emotional reminiscences that Daisy completed on his hospital bed.

A seafarer and a dancer, two completely different life trajectories that go in the opposite direction. The most flawless encounter was completed in that nursing home where the Grim Reaper was raging, and a short-lived meeting was completed after Daisy was unable to dance in a car accident.

And at that moment of life, two souls ignited the most brilliant fire in the bleak life like sparks rubbing against phosphor paper.

The light of the fire was short-lived and weak, and people couldn't bear to breathe or touch. Wrapped tightly in the beautiful and peaceful harbor of Florida by two happy hearts, he still can't escape the fate that has been waiting quietly behind him.

Benjamin, who is experienced in the world, finally chose to leave all his possessions before his daughter remembered him and left alone. chose to live a life of wandering, because he knew that his daughter did not only need one playmate, and Daisy could not take care of two "children".

In the last mile of his life, Benjamin, a teenager in his seventies suffering from Alzheimer's disease, could no longer remember Daisy and his own love, and returned to the nursing home, which had become a human being. In the end, he was adopted by the widowed Daisy until he became a baby who could not speak.

In his infancy, in the arms of his lover Daisy, Benjamin ended his life like no other.

At the last moment of his life, he stared at the grandmother-like old woman in front of him for a long time with the clear eyes of a child, and finally closed his eyes gently.

Daisy said she knew, and Benjamin recognized who she was.

In the darkness, the calm and long ending song sounded, which made me wake up from my trance as if I had been burned by a match.

After watching the film, I felt an indescribable pain. Our lives soon returned to normal, but my heart was clearly burned by the undying love between Benjamin and Daisy. The whole burning spot with a faint ache was like a white spot left by a flash of sparks in the darkness, both real and illusory, and it made me lose my soul.

I suddenly felt that the corners of my eyes were moist, and my whole body was weightless in a sour void. (To be continued......)
