一句話班傑明身體愈長愈年輕，用不同的路體驗人生。
讓我想起讓我邊看電影邊想到的有阿甘正傳 (Forrest Gump, 1994)，和大智若魚 (Big Fish, 2003)。這三部都是用倒述的方式來說故事，而故事中都有不可思議的事情發生，阿甘正傳是沒有甚麼太奇幻的事蹟，不過也夠妙了。而大智若魚則是故事很奇幻，但卻和事實相去不遠。班傑明的故事則是除了他的身體愈來愈年輕外，其他事蹟也都非怪力亂神。
感同身受的台詞Benjamin: Your life is defined by its opportunities... even the ones you miss.
(把握住或錯過的機會造就你的人生）
Benjamin: Sometimes we're on a collision course, and we just don't know it. Whether it's by accident or by design, there's not a thing we can do about it.
(每個人都息息相關、生存與共，而我們卻渾然不知。巧合也好，天生注定也罷，我們都只能接受。)
Benjamin: For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it.
(人生中，只要是值得的人事物，沒有所謂太早或太遲的問題。不需考量時效，想停就停，想保持現狀或改變都在你，沒有規則可言。要好要壞，都掌握在自己的手上。)
Benjamin: You can be as mad as a mad dog at the way things went. You could swear, curse the fates, but when it comes to the end, you have to let go.
(你可以像隻瘋狗般面對你的遭遇，你可以罵髒話、對你的命運感到憤恨不平或憤世忌俗，然而當生命走到盡頭時，你還是得看開一切。)
Queenie: You never know what's comin' for ya.
(人生中會遇到甚麼總沒個準的。）
