Darn that Benjamin Button!

I begrudgingly watched the end of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" last night, and I would be lying if I said it didn't reduce me to a blubbering baby. The best line in the whole movie was everything that I've ever wanted to say to Sophie:

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.

  1. Yes, i forced Mily to watch the last 25 mins of the movie. She couldn't be bothered to the watch the whole thing. I was hoping she would watch the whole movie, but she hates Brad Pitt. Bah humbug!
