THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON

This is a movie of which I thought a very different kind of drama life story. We've had just watched this movie yesterday with my mother in-law. We borrowed this from our friend Debbie cause I've had just watched most of our movies already. She loves drama story movie and she got tons of it that's why I thought of borrowing some of it cause I like drama movies too. At first it was kind of confusing cause the character of the movie isn't really acting the show instead, it was just a story of her life back then and never told her daughter.

Daisy an old woman, who is hospitalized due to her illness, has a daughter and never told her about the true story of her life back then. She told her a story about a blind man who was a scientist, married with one son. His son was in service and got killed in the 1st world war. When he knew about his son was killed, he experimented this huge clock but it moved backward instead of forward. The people ask him why his clock moving backward and then he told them about the reason why he did that. He wants to have his son back and then the environment started to change backward. Daisy stop there and then she let her daughter read the book about Benjamin Button.

He was born under unusual circumstances, which means he was born in his eighties and ages backward. His mother died when she give birth to him and his father couldn't accept him cause he was so ugly (old face baby). His father brought him to the senior citizen house and put on the first stair and leave him. He was found by lady name Quennie who is a care taker of the house, and her boyfriend. When Quennie saw his face, she felt pity for him and said 'oh poor ugly baby' and then she held him in her arms. She asks the doctor who visited there to check the babies health cause he was different. The doctor told her that the baby has a short time to survive cause of his old looks. Quennie decided to keep the baby and told everybody in the house that they're gonna have a baby for a while cause she thought that the baby won't live any longer. She named him Benjamin and took a good care of him.

Luckily, Benjamin survived until he grew up but couldn't walk cause he was so old. He acts like a child but his looks were not and the people couldn't believe that his age is so young. He really loves Quennie cause he thought that it was his real mother and she treated him as her own son. He grew and meets a girl named Daisy and got attracted to her. They became friends and play together most of the times. He also meets an old woman who is just moved into their senior citizen house and teaches him how to play piano. As he grew older (his age), his body keep changing into better than worst like he can walk. He leave the house and found a job as a sailor and still him and Daisy were friends and promise her to send some pictures where he had been to. He meets a woman and felt in love with her and had some good moments with her but suddenly she left him. He has no idea that Daisy was in love with him before he left and still thinks of him every now and then.

After several years that he left, he came back to his home and Quennie didn't recognize him cause he looks very different when he left them. When he meet Daisy, she too didn't recognize him cause he looks younger than before. Daisy became a ballet dancer and was so popular and got a boyfriend but didn't love him cause it was him (Benjamin) whom she felt in love with for so many years. She didn't know that he too felt attracted to her the very first time they meet back then but didn't tell her. And now that they meet again, he thought of not to let go off his feelings to her and want her so badly. On the other side, his mother Quennie died after a short while. They decided to live together and she got pregnant with him. He was so worried if their baby will be like him; who was born old and ages backward. After she give birth to their daughter, he was so glad that the baby is normal. But for some reason, he leaves them and goes everywhere and never came back.

Everything happened in his life, he wrote it in his diary book. After so many years that he's gone, he came back to see them and Daisy got married to another man. Their daughter has grown already but has no idea that he was her dad cause Daisy didn't tell her anything about him cause she was so mad of him leaving. Daisy introduce him to her husband and their daughter as a friend. He looks more younger than before like a teenager but still in love with her. After they meet, Daisy didn't hear from him until she received a mail from the people in the senior citizen house where he grew up. The mail was about Benjamin found in an old building by the police and didn't remember who he was so they send him in his home. All they found was his diary book and some of his clothes. After reading the mail, she immediately went to his home and there she saw him playing on the piano but he was so much younger than the last time they meet.

As years goes by, Benjamin gets younger and younger and Daisy took care of him like her own child. Until he changes into a baby and she held him into her arms watching him close his eyes and died. It was very hurtful for her cause she really love him with all her heart and watching him changing everyday and in his death was so painful to her. Her daughter knew that it was her who is their baby and didn't told her anything until she read the story of her father's life. Like I said it was very odd and sad movie and very long.

BICENTENNIAL MAN

If you guys love watching that SCI-FI movie, you better try to watch bicentennial man movie maybe you find it interesting. We've had watched that movie last night and I find it interesting and awesome though it was a sad one but it was a worth to watch for. My hubby doesn't care for it cause like i said it was sad and he said that if we'd watch it before my mother in-law were here, she probably cry the whole show. It's a kind of drama, which i thought it wouldn't be but what makes it interesting was the uniqueness of the star, which is the robot. The robot called the bicentennial man because of his incredible ability that other robot don't have.


His name is Andrew who was purchased and owned by the Martin's family. He perform a menial household tasks and talk like a human and they treat him as one of the member of their family. The youngest daughter of the family were get so close to him and when she grew up she felt in love with him. But she knew that robots don't have a heart so when her boyfriend proposed, she accept it and got married. After 28 years of service in the family, he asks for his freedom so the family was released him and leave. He makes his own house in the nearby cause he wants them to call him in times they need him. But he still feel like somethings missing so he travel to different places to find those robots that was unique like him.

He always wrote to the youngest daughter about his travel, he call her little miss. But he never found one until he reached to his final destination, he found a lady robot that was unique like him. A man who is a scientist owned her and there he met him. The scientist helps him transformed into a human body. When he return home, he didn't knew that little miss was getting older so when he saw her grand daughter he thought that it was her cause they were look alike. When she saw him, she didn't recognized him cause his body was no longer a robot but she still remember his voice. He was attracted to her grand daughter called Portia but she was getting married but she too was attracted to him. She didn't marry her boyfriend instead; she live with him. They didn't get married because of the reason that he's still a robot in the eyes of the people and in their law. But he never give up his right until the second chance was been approved that he considered as human but it was too late. He died waiting for his approval to be a human.

CHILDREN OF HEAVEN

This is a movie that we've had just watch the other night. We rent movies from netflix and we received them on Tuesday's through Saturday's. I would like to share this movie to you guys cause this is about a true lives of a family in the middle east country. It was tittled a children of heaven because this two kids were very kind and respects their parents specially their lives. This movie isn't awesome but i like to watch it cause i can relate it to the families in the Philippines and to my own family. Every time i watch this kind of movie, i felt really bad and pity for those people who were suffered in poverty. I then thought that if only i have a lots of money i would help some of them. Since i was a kid, our lives were very poor and sometimes we just only eat twice a day cause we don't have foods to eat.

In this movie, this two kids (a boy and a girl) and one baby were born in a very poor family. Their father only works in a church to serve some tea for the people and his wage was low and can't support his family. They live in a small apartment and they're delayed for about 6 months in the payment of it so the owner always come by to ask the payment. Their mom can't work still cause she is ill so the two kids were the one who take charges of the chores. One day the boy went to a shoe repair shop to get his sister's shoe repaired cause she don't have any other pair of shoes to wear in school. After that, he buy some bread and then stop over to a market to buy some potatoes for their dinner. He put the bread and the shoes in the corner of the store and grab some potatoes. While he was busy grabbing those potatoes, the garbage collector stop by and ask permission to the owner and then grab the garbage including his sister's shoes. He has no idea that his sisters shoes was stole by the man so when he grab the bread and the shoes, he was totally shocked cause he can't find his sister's shoes. He had no idea where to find it so when he got home, his sister ask him if her shoes got repaired and he said yes but he continued and told her that it was gone. His sister told him that she would tell their dad that he lost her shoes but he stop her and said you can wear my sneakers in school cause his sister's class was in the morning and he was in the afternoon. He also told her that their dad don't have the money to buy her a pair of shoes so what they did were they shared his shoes for school.

His father's friend from the church give him some stuff to use in gardening and told him that he can go around in the village where rich people live and ask if they want a gardener. So when weekend comes, him and his dad go around in the village to look for a family who wants a gardener but they didn't find one. When they're about to decide to go back home, they stop for a while and he went in a faucet to drink and suddenly a kid inside the gate ask him if he was there cause the kid heard them. The kid ask him if he wants to go inside and play with him but he replied, tell your dad if he wants a gardener but the kid said that he don't have a dad nor his mom but what he had was a grandfather. The kid ask him if whats his name and he told him his name and he's with his dad. He told him to ask his grandfather if he wants a gardener but the kid said he's sleeping so without any words he left and then went back to his dad and leave. The kid beg him not to leave but he didn't listen so when they're getting away, the kid and his grandfather went outside and shouted them to come back so they did. And that's their lucky day cause his father got a work as a gardener and he and the kid had played all day and his dad got paid that was more than enough for their food and could buy them a pair of shoes. His dad was so grateful for the old man who was so kind to them. He too in school beg a teacher who was a coach for a 4km. run to register him in a contest cause he wanted to win in the third prize cause the prize were a new pair of sneaker. He told his sister about it and he wanted to win in the 3rd place to get her a new pair of sneakers. The day has come but for some reason he won in the first prize so he was disappointed cause he thought that he was in the 3rd place. But not to worry cause their father bought them a new pair of shoes and their foods. And that's the end of it and like i said it's not that awesome movie but i just like it.
