| My sister bought a book of his short stories after she saw the movie. She loves them all, says they're all the kind you could read over and over again. But that Benjamin Button is a lot different, as you would expect with the movie being around three hours long! I haven't read it or seen it, but I keep meaning to read The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. |

Which, Benjamin Button or The Great Gatsby? I think I saw the Great Gatsby years ago. I don't think I'm gonna make it to Benjamin Button unfortunately, I'm just not in the mood these days to go see a movie that long. :( Is it sad? I don't want to see it if it's gonna make me depressed! |

I was talking about Gatsby (it sounded as though you'd seen Benjamin Button).
Well it's quite sad but very well done. Did not care for the soundtrack tho (most people don't pay attention to it anyway but I always notice). The beginning is a bit slow but the rest is fine. I'm about to read the short story myself to see how much they've strayed from it. |
