2008 Award Nominations

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is the most overrated movie of our time. Best Picture and 12 other nominations?! What a crock.

Unless I'm missing something. Can someone point to an element of the film that commented on the unique experience of living life backwards?

I saw only a pretty neat love story and the character arc of any adventurous man whose instincts could have been engendered by any number of life experiences. It seems to me living backwards would have produced some very unique curiousities ... but I saw none.

Bah.

Spoiler:

Spoiler: And if that's what the child of Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett would turn out like, I'm sorely disappointed.
