One aspect of the film a lot of people have discussed was how -- and there might be mild spoilers here -- if Brad Pitt's character starts out as a tiny old man, he should turn into an adult-sized baby at the end of the film. That would make the most sense, right?

Well, director David Fincher sat down with MTV recently and admitted that the original plan was to have Pitt play the baby. He says, "We were prepared to do that ... We just ran out of money. We could have made him into a baby. Anything you want to do, you can do now." Now THAT would've been worth the price of admission all on its own ... even though the image of Pitt as a big, weird-looking baby may have been all folks talked about afterward. Fincher also addressed those comparisons to Forest Gump, noting: "Forrest Gump? What's that? Instead of the ordinary man in extraordinary circumstances, I thought of [Benjamin] as an extraordinary man in very ordinary circumstances. I don't know how much an audience can relate to a guy who's aging backwards that ends up looking like Brad Pitt. My whole thing from the beginning has been that it's not high concept. The reason it's relatable is how it's dramatized. Everybody remembers their first kiss and hangover and person they fell in love with."

Am inca mixed feelings legate de film. E frumos filmat,un spectacol vizual, foarte bine jucat, dar ma deranjeaza faptul ca personajul nu invata sa se descurce cu conditia pe care o are,nu accepta faptul ca pur si simplu e special..practic nu invata nimic,trece prin viata ca prin branza...Si iar eterna problema...women are weak! Ma deranjeaza cand sunt portretizate asa...it's ok that you f'ed a few other women,I'll forgive you! Bollocks...sa vina el la mine sa ceara iertare si cu putin noroc primeste doar un pantof in cap :lol: .
