the story is brilliant and the movie is perhaps a very smart way to sneak in 'lolita' back into america but from the front door this time. as you know, the story of lolita is the story of an old man falling in love with a little girl. it was judged too immoral to be allowed to be seen in america. the brilliant trick with the benjamin button movie was that they convinced people that an old man could develop a connection with a young girl because he was a little boy inside. if old-looking is not same as old yet all old men are old-looking and if all old-looking old men develop into little kids anyway as they age, then what's to stop old men now from openly pursuing hidden lolita dreams and sexual desires? did benjamin unbutton lolita? i think so.
