The Curious Effect Benjamin Button had on Me

Dear Friend,

I have a serious problem when asked to describe a movie’s effect on me, in fact, anything’s effect on me, or to deeply analyze it. I am unable to put into words the underlying beauty in works such as The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I easily able to produce a description of any books, movies or stories, just not do the same as to why I felt and what exactly I felt throughout the experience. It may have something to do with how completely out of my life I feel, as if I am merely the innatimate moon watching over the earth without having its own life and stories which to relate what it is watch. ThisĀ  may possibly be ultimately for what directors and storytellers strive, however, I want to be able to take something away from the three-hour, which did not feel as long as it was, experience to my own life; and how am I able to do so, if I am unable to identify it properly.

I shall work on that.
