Although he left, Benjamin always thought about Daisy and his daughter. On his daughter's second birthday, he sent back a postcard that read: "I hope I can kiss you before you go to bed!"
Caroline read out these things that she had never seen before, the things left to her by her biological father, Benjamin Button, and couldn't help but feel a sore nose.
He loves her so much, but he can't accompany her to grow up.
Caroline looked at the large stack of postcards and photos in her hand, all of which were given to her, and couldn't help but shed tears. These all represented a father's deep love for his daughter.
"When you are five years old, I hope I can take you to your first day of school!"
"When you are six years old, I hope I can teach you piano by your side!"
"Thirteen years old, I wish I could tell you not to chase those stupid boys. I hope you can be comforted by me when you are sad."
"I hope I can be your father. Nothing can make me dream more than this."
"As long as it's meaningful, it's never too late to do it."
...
"Do what you want to do. There is no time limit for this. You can start whenever you want!"
"You can change from now on, or you can stay the same! There are no rules in this matter. You can live a wonderful life, or you can make a mess."
"I hope to live a wonderful life!"
After leaving home, Benjamin went to many places during his youngest years and saw more people and different scenery. Apart from missing his relatives, he really had no regrets in this period of his life.
He had been away for a long time, and his appearance and body had changed into the youthful look of a seventeen or eighteen year old.
That day, Daisy had just gotten off work and was about to leave her place of work to go home, but she saw him at the door. He was standing in the shadows, and Daisy did not recognize him immediately.
Finally Daisy saw him: "Why do you want to come back?"
At this time, Caroline was calling her: "Mom!"
This was the first time since Benjamin left that he saw his daughter whom he had always dreamed of. Daisy did not tell her daughter that this was her father.
He just introduced Benjamin to his daughter, as if he were introducing an ordinary friend.
"Actually, you've known him since you were a kid!"
The handshake between Benjamin and his daughter was like that of strangers meeting for the first time.
Daisy got married again after Benjamin left. When the man came out, the three of them were very harmonious, but Benjamin seemed to be an insignificant outsider.
Daisy introduces Benjamin to her husband Robert.
Robert took his daughter Caroline and left first, leaving Daisy and Benjamin alone.
Benjamin exclaimed in admiration: "She is so beautiful, like her mother! Can she dance?"
"Not a very good dance!"
"I guess you inherited it from me, right?"
"She is a good girl, but she is a little confused. Who wasn't when she was twelve years old? She always reminds me of you!"
She told Benjamin about her husband, Robert, who was once married. He was a good man who loved adventure and sunshine.
He is also a good father.
Benjamin nodded: "That's great!"
"You look so much younger again!" Daisy was still in awe as she looked at Benjamin's increasingly youthful appearance.
"It's just appearance!"
"You're right! I can't support both of you at the same time. I'm not strong enough, so, where do you live?"
"What are you going to do next?"
"Staying in the hotel, I don't know what to do next. But..."
Before Benjamin could finish speaking, Daisy's husband outside was honking his horn to remind her.
Caroline finally remembered, but Daisy never told her that he was her biological father.
Maybe it was because he missed her too much, or maybe it was because of something else. Benjamin himself didn’t understand why he came back again.
When he was confused, there was a knock on the door from outside. It was Daisy.
"How are you doing?" Benjamin asked.
"I'm sorry, I don't even know what I'm doing here?" Daisy choked with sobs.
She stroked Benjamin's increasingly younger face and said, "Nothing is eternal!"
"I love you and it has never changed!" Benjamin said, looking at her. Even though her appearance was no longer the same, even though there were wrinkles on her face.
Benjamin hugged her: "There are some things you will never forget!"
"Good night, Benjamin!"
"Good night, Daisy!"
This is how they greeted each other when they parted.
Benjamin watched her leave and stopped writing in his diary.
After that, Daisy never heard from Benjamin again until one day after her husband Robert passed away, when she received a call from someone from the children's welfare home.
They made an appointment with Daisy to meet at the nursing home.
They found Benjamin, who had been living in a dangerous building. The police found the diary. Because Daisy was mentioned many times in the diary, they found Daisy.
They told Daisy that Benjamin could no longer tell who he was and where he was, as if he had "juvenile dementia." Yes, Benjamin had turned into a child and he could not remember anything about himself.
The sound of piano came from the nursing home, and Daisy saw Benjamin again, but at this moment, Benjamin looked like a child on the outside, but he was an old man on the inside.
He doesn't even like people touching him, and his memory is good and bad. Doctors can't do anything about this symptom.
He couldn't remember who Daisy was either. Looking at Benjamin's appearance, Daisy had mixed emotions.
In the days that followed, Benjamin was in a nursing home, and Daisy would visit him every day. However, Benjamin's dementia became more and more obvious, and he couldn't even remember that he had eaten.
Daisy listened to Benjamin say that he seemed to have forgotten a lot of things. He said that he felt as if he had lived for a long time, but he could not remember his past life. Sometimes he would remember some things, such as he remembered Queenie, his mother, and the funeral.
Where, but he can't remember who he is.
Afterwards, Benjamin became increasingly difficult to take care of, so Daisy simply moved in with him.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! At that time, Benjamin looked only five years old.
Almost as old as they were when they first met as children.
Daisy, who looks very old, and Benjamin, who looks only five years old, would have thought that their ages are actually about the same.
Daisy told Benjamin the book of stories that Daisy's grandmother told Benjamin when they were children. As time went by, Daisy stayed with him in his last days, watching him grow smaller little by little, forgetting how to walk and how to talk, until
Becoming a swaddled baby, that year, the clock in the opposite direction at the train station was removed and replaced with a new one, and another year passed.
Benjamin looked at Daisy in his infancy, and at that moment, Daisy knew that he recognized her.
Then he closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep, forever.
The elderly Daisy was lying on the hospital bed, tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes.
Their daughter Caroline, with similarly red eyes, said, "I wish I knew him!"
Daisy said: "Now you know me!"
The storm outside was getting bigger and bigger. Caroline went to see what was going on. Daisy lay weakly on the hospital bed, waiting for the storm to come. She looked out the window and said: "Good night, Benjamin", just like before,
Daisy's life has also come to an end. She closed her eyes peacefully. There seemed to be hummingbirds flying outside the window, which also symbolizes the tenacious and unyielding life.
"Some people are destined to sit leisurely by the river - the dwarf black man, some people are destined to be struck by lightning - the man who was struck seven times by lightning, some people are destined to music - the elegant old lady who taught Benjamin how to play the piano, some people
Some people are artists - Captain Mike who enlightened Benjamin's life, some are swimmers - the old lady who is a good swimmer, some people know buttons - Benjamin's father Thomas, some people know Shakespeare - Queenie's husband, some people
People are mothers – Black Mama Queenie, and some people are dancers – Daisy!”
The last scene of the movie shows the dismantled clock with the opposite direction being discarded in the utility room. The hurricane is coming and the sea water is about to submerge, but the clock with the opposite direction is still stubbornly running backwards.
The movie ended, and there was silence in the theater. After a long time, roaring applause broke out.
This is not a movie with many exciting points. In fact, it is very dull. In the movie, death can be said to have been happening from the beginning to the end, but in the face of everything, the movie flashes by with the same understatement.
Including Queenie, the black mother who gave Benjamin life, her importance is undoubted, but her death was also not sensational, nor was she overly sad or sentimental.
But even so, it still makes people feel as if this world is real, Benjamin is real, and this is the real life of the man named Benjamin Button.
The movie is over, but the discussion about the movie has just begun.
On the Internet, which is more time-sensitive, many fans who have watched the movie quickly shared their feelings.
"When he became a child, he began to be confused, "I seem to have experienced a lifetime." His past aging, past love, and past years, at a certain moment, he can only let go gently and walk toward death obediently."
"It's full of the eternity of time, lonely protagonists and strange stories. The texture of the film is as smooth as a mellow wine with endless aftertaste. This is a gentle fairy tale. Daisy's daughter read Benjamin's letter to her in her mother's ward.
Her postcards that would never be sent, 'I wanted to be your father, and nothing I've ever done in my life has been as meaningful as this.' It was so heartbreaking."
"It seems extremely ordinary, everything seems to be like time, without any trace, and there seems to be no ups and downs of the plot, but it is still inexplicably touching, but I don't know why the touching point is very strange."
"When I saw Benjamin turned into a baby and lying in Daisy's arms, closing his eyes peacefully, tears overflowed from my eyes for no reason."
"I seem to have had a lifetime before, but I have forgotten what it was like! I think of my grandfather who passed away, and he was like this in his later years!"
"Each of us has the ability that Benjamin dreams of: growing old with the people we love. But we don't know how to cherish it, as if everything is ordinary, but we don't know that for Benjamin, he can't get it."
"Incomparably rich in details, visual effects, people who were struck by lightning seven times, sailors, prostitutes, reunion, separation, youth, aging, on the road. The center point of parallel progress in two directions, the duration structure of the narrative, two paragraphs of character clues.
The story jointly builds a smooth and stable plot. It seems to be a very ordinary plot, but it is touching enough. Because this is life!"
“Actually, there is no such thing as forgiveness, it’s just letting go. When you see the hummingbird, that beautiful god of death whose heart beats two thousand times per minute, you watch the sunset by the lakeside, or you feel sorry for your tattoo, or you listen to your daughter reading your lover’s diary, or you quietly
Leaving silently, like the sound of a few pianos, or an old dog watching in front of the grave, or even the death of a father or mother, is always learned after the fact. Missing a year, a week, or a day will bring lifelong regrets.
:Aren’t these all ordinary episodes of life?”
"Only six thunders were counted. Some people were struck by lightning. What is the meaning of lightning strikes? Accidents in life - there were seven times in the film. The person who was struck by lightning was the projection of Benjamin.
.The person who was struck by lightning lives in a nursing home, but he will not die. The meaning of his symbol is "seven lightning strikes", and that's it: he taught Benjamin to always try bravely to complete his destiny.
The mission given is to seek peace, security and a sense of belonging to settle down and settle down.
It makes Daisy sad to see her lover getting younger and younger when she gets older. She finally has to draw the main plot when she is so old, so old that she doesn’t need to care about aging. The same is true when narrating the story: aging
, aging to the point where he couldn’t believe it, but he got used to it. This was lucky for Benjamin, because he spent the most difficult time of dying in ignorance, and spent his ignorant youth in oblivion - dying.
What is the difference from the first birth? Life is a circle, and we see that it eventually returns to its original position."
"I never thought that such a lengthy and straightforward movie would make me shed tears."
Regarding the movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", the fans' unanimous view is that this is a very "ordinary" and "bland" movie, but it is also a very "extraordinary" movie.
An extraordinary movie!
This is very contradictory, but it doesn't seem to be contradictory at all.
Different people will see different things in this movie, either a certain person or a certain period of their lives.
Of course, some people say that watching this movie requires patience. Many people even couldn't watch it in one sitting when they watched it for the first time because it was really bland and like water.
There are no highs or lows in the movie, just a narration of the life of Benjamin Button.
That was Benjamin Button’s life, but why not everyone’s life?
But a good movie is enough to make many people calm down and patiently savor it.
