As you can see from the trailers, this is a movie about a guy that ages backwards. Apparently its based on some short-story by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I wonder why they couldn’t keep it short! Early in the movie, Brad Pitt is a raisiney little 8-year-old that slightly resembles Yogurt from Spaceballs. As time progresses, he becomes physically younger. They also throw in a love interest (Cate Blanchett)– a dancer who loses her ability to dance after she twirls blindly into the and gets hit by a car — and have her narrate the story as an old woman. With her shaky, drawn-out voice, she sounds more like a Southern ghost — Or a southern version of Dae Han from “Best of the Best” after he gets his ass kicked (if you’ve seen that movie).
That’s about it. No deeper meaning or lessons here. She ages normally; He ages backwards. “Let’s cross our fingers and hope for an Oscar nod.” Moral of the story: Don’t twirl into oncoming traffic.
Oh how creative! They made the print on the poster backwards!
