dc. Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I saw Button the 1st week it was out or something... couldn't stand it. It certainly was trying to be Forrest Gump and doing a horrible job of it. And then there were all kinds of stupid problems... not the least of which was why in the hell was Hurricane Katrina included and what did it have to do with anything? Never explained, never felt... Ugh. I was so utterly disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc. Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Also- can't believe that they didn't include the biggest, most gag-worthy repetition from both films... Gump is tied together with that feather that floats around a few times and winds up in his briefcase. And it kind of works, somehow. In Button, the "feather" becomes a butterfly. And when one character dies, the imagery is perfect all by itself... and then the butterfly appears. And it appears twice more, I think, at least. And it is just RIDICULOUS. I almost threw up on myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceEight Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 Admittedly, I haven't seen Gump in a LONG time, so the fact that they were so similar didn't immediately click with me. Once it's realized, though, there is almost no distinction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundercleetz Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Hey, I liked that movie! I actually live a few street down from Napolean Street, which is where the house in the movie is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
