    I really enjoyed it. The message of the movie was inspirational, and Brad Pitt's character was a unique vehicle in which to explore the human condition. Why/How Ben B has his condition is missing the point—it's fantasy. Ben B had the perspective to live his life to the fullest by living it backwards. He spent his best years traveling, exploring, and doing all the things people wait their whole lives to do, and most never end up doing them. If nothing else, it's a reminder that one has one short life, and not to miss out on what one can do with it. For me, that makes it worth watching.
