I managed to catch "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" yesterday and I must say that it was extremely worth it. One of the better movies I have personally caught in theaters in the recent past. Acting was probably a 7 over 10 but make-up a 9.8 over 10. Brilliant. As I was watching the movie, I was looking out for clues on how the move would end. You could never tell as the movie went on. One thing I really found interesting about it was that the whole movie surrounding significant events in American History : The movie started with World War 1 and entire mid-plot surrounded World War 2 and the movie ended with Hurricane Katrina. Yet amidst all that chaos (for those who saw the movie) how did the movie end ?
Yup, it ended with Benjamin speaking about all the people he had met along the unusual life he had had. One of the closing quotes by Benjamin Button recalled the range of people he had met throughout his life :
"Along the way you bump into people who make a dent on your life. Some people get struck by lightning. Some are born to sit by a river. Some have an ear for music. Some are artists. Some swim the English Channel. Some know buttons. Some know Shakespeare. Some are mothers. And some people can dance."
Sometime in life we don't always get to be the person we want to be or be with a certain group that we always thought we would "fit in" but I have learnt that whenever God has put us at whatever point of our life, we were made to make an impact.
In my favourite sitcom "The Cosby Show" there was this quote, "There is not one person that cannot be influence either positively or negatively. Our job is to stress the positive." As Christian we not only have to influence the world positively with our actions and words but we have influence the world spiritually. What we do or say maybe the only thing between eternal life and death for some people who would never ever get the chance to hear the gospel. Their only gospel - US !!
In amazement,
God bless,
