Those words “he would be with them when their time came” brought me to tears alone. No parent should have to bury their child. This film storyline was astounding.
Most people don’t understand that teddy Roosevelt lost one of his sons in ww1 hence why he took his hat off first. LT. Quentin Roosevelt died in an Ariel battle in France in 1918. He was just twenty years old. Theodore was always depressed that his son had died in the war.
In The Real New Orleans; The French Opera House burned in 1918. Along with the Great War it was a sign things had changed... the Whole in the Communities heart was visibly burned.
That whole reverse shot is the beauty of David Fincher. Made the whole silhouette far more powerful. He uses the visual medium in such an impactful manner
How did Benjamin get born with such a Curious Case? In the short story it was explicitly stated to be caused by the backwards clock starting to spin the exact second he was born. In the movie, the relevance of the clock was only hinted at. As Hurricane Katrina makes its way into New Orleans, the clock starts moving backwards again, bizarrely around the same time that Daisy dies...
I listened to Soldier Side followed by Castle of Glass...I always cry when I hear the speech in this scene, but this time I cried harder. My condolences to whoever lost a relative thanks to war.
in a few words with a small sample behind and two scenes all the pain about the loss and all the disgusting of a war. masterpiece! even my sentence i wrote is longer!!!
I made it that way so that perhaps the boys that we lost in the war might stand and come home again. Home to farm, work, have children. To live long, full lives. Perhaps my own son might come home again. I'm sorry if I've offended anybody. I hope you enjoy my clock. Mh...looks longer than what you wrote.
It's been some time since I've seen it, but my recollection is that The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a fascinating but flawed movie. This scene, however, is a masterpiece, and ranks with Fincher's very best work.
It is a click of memories and dreams- in both these worlds clock represents unfulfilled wishes, lives never lived, happiness never achieved, hopes that never came back,lives that were shattered forever. The clock is a state of mind rather than a keeper of time.
IMHO, this feels like it is a true story. When I first watched the scene, I searched if the story was true as it was so touching. The film is very good as well
I hope no Humanity will learn on this and our weapons must be converted to Farm and Repairing tools no more bloodsheds but war is inevitable oh God guide and protect your People the Humanity
I love the scene with the clock. One of the most amazing scenes in any film.

This performance was so short yet so powerful. Contributed greatly to the melancholy tone of the movie. He deserves an award for it
Also - some people say his son was reincarnated into Benjamin button who was born on the day the war ended ..

I never knew that
No parent should bury their child/children

He also fought in many wars, he knew all the shit soldiers went trough.

this film got a lot of odd criticism but I must say this is one of the best scenes in film for me personally its very touching and symbolic artful!
One of the best scenes of all time movies

Knowing David Fincher, his goal was most likely to hint that the clock is what caused Benjamin's condition, rather than explicitly link the two.
Yes well said to show the two will always be connected
One of the most powerful movies of all time to reverse time is so special that you get every generation back is a true miracle

No word to describe this scene
Very moving scene. Watching this in July 2018, the centenary of the 1918 Spring Offensive
Christ this scene is heartbreaking. He just wanted his baby to come back to him instead of dying in a brutal and pointless war.

It boggles my mind that Cate Blanchett is playing Daisy in the hospital bed, one of the most incredibly actresses of our time
3:49 I will never forget this shot
This scene is SO powerful, this scene to me goes for every war thiers ever been in history.
Pure modesty 🥹🥺 and humbleness 😮
Wonderful, beautiful piece of art . Brads Best!
You can see the look of sadness on Teddy Roosevelt, because he lost his son in the war.
"I hope you enjoy my clock✨✨ :)"
Most incredible scene i have ever seen in any movie ....!! I'm from India and its hindi dubbing is much more impact full for me !!

great film..
God what happen to good movies.
Ending of that movie clock went reverse again.
Absolutely Beautiful and heartbreaking this scene.
The futility of war. Absolutely pointless. But their actions are glorious.
Lest we forget our men & women who served. Rest in peace
anyone think that this scene reminded them of the song distant drums by Jim reeves
If you dont shed a tear during this scene then you might be a terrorist.
I made it dat way.
I hope u njoy my clock
Fucking the repeat button in my mind

How would the clock tell the correct time if it runs backwards, I'm genuinely puzzled
It is a click of memories and dreams- in both these worlds clock represents unfulfilled wishes, lives never lived, happiness never achieved, hopes that never came back,lives that were shattered forever. The clock is a state of mind rather than a keeper of time.
It is a clock of memories ...**
@@Indica9 you can edit posted comments btw
it will tell the correct time twice a day.
Maybe just for the opening the clock is move reverse but it can be restarted manually on its controller to be adjusted in the right time
can anytone tell me if this story of the reverse clock is based on a true story or just fictional?
Rasmus Eklund fictional
What a great question 😩
IMHO, this feels like it is a true story. When I first watched the scene, I searched if the story was true as it was so touching. The film is very good as well
She could be his daughter for real! Same mouth and lips! Love this actress
Sag mir wo die Männer sind, wo sind sie geblieben?
Sie sind in ihren Herzen
Okay, I love this scene but what does it have to do with Benjamin?
Please, can someone explain to me
Rewinding clock? Benjamin getting younger as he ages, as time goes forward ...nothing?
@@TheReversal888
It's just a question.
You don't have to be so rude and ignorant.
@@larkinsantoyo119
Okay, but why didn't it affect anyone else..
the clock is symbolic, don't scraych your head too much
Everyone calm down...
Just asking.
I hope no Humanity will learn on this and our weapons must be converted to Farm and Repairing tools no more bloodsheds but war is inevitable oh God guide and protect your People the Humanity
It's near to me
How come he only had one kid? He had money to afford more.
