The Science of Benjamin Button!


Benjamin Button TED Talk

About the TED talk that I had watched during science class today, it was about how the people used the scientific method to create Benjamin Button. They talk about what is going on in the movie, a person called Benjamin Button was born as a very old man, and as he grew older, he looks younger which was very weird. People use the scientific technology to create him. Before the completion of Benjamin Button, they need to think of the color of the skin for Benjamin Button, and also his hairstyle. It was very difficult for the workers and actors because the scientific process wasn't very easy. They tried different ways to present Benjamin Button, there are steps that can clearly help them prove, and they have to be realistic as they can. I think this kind of scientific method that can present Benjamin Button is a very creative and special. Including to the TED talk, the most part that interested me was how they created Benjamin Button. They have actor to portrait Benjamin, and makeup artist and special effect team to make different faces and get through the computer so that they will have a new Benjamin Button. I think this is a very advanced invention, it really clearly shows how good we are in technology. After this TED talk, it interested me to get to know more about this. I think this kind of special invention will be very common in the future.
