One Bloodly Curious Case

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Watch it not juz for Brad Pitt or Cate Blanchett. Please.

A remarkable movie which got me pondering. Many sobering scenes too. I think the director captured the essence beautifully and the scriptwriter is simply brillante. Of coz it helps that both leads are so pretty looking!

To live the life of Benjamin will be terrible. But maybe I might be less comdemning if I did...and maybe more appreciative. A funny thought came to me after the show.

'Can I call all of us terminally ill?'

Life is so fragile and Death is too sudden.

We dun need a doctor's diagnosis to determine we r stricken with an incurable illness before we start counting down our days. Wat make us different from a terminally ill patient? Yes he might only have 6 months to live...yes he is getting weaker by the day...yes he knows he is dying...

But dun we all count down to Death since the day we are born? We all die someday, and the only difference is tat we DUN KNOW when. Now...wat makes u so SUre that anyone of us will not be taken before the sick patient? In a moment, I might be taken by a speeding car, crushed by a fallen tree or maybe even choked to death on a bloody meatball!

Seriously, YOU REALLY THINK WE ARE GOING TO LIVE FOREVER?

So to know when u r dying is better OR to be taken suddenly is more comfortable for u?

This thought completely freaks me out. I dunno I have more time because I am still relatively 'young' now or I have not enough time cos I might juz die tom. Does it seems like we are all 'terminally ill' too? Worse thing is, we dun even know if we have 6 months...

This is serious case.


'For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.'
