We love The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button tells about the story of a man named Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt) who was born in his eighties and ages backward with unusual circumstances. He experience rejection at some point in his life while growing up and being neglected by his own father and eventually found the love and home in the hands of Queenie who took care of him and loves despite of his oddities.

Instead of dying, as a doctor predicted, Benjamin actually begins to age backwards. He appears as a very old man and slowly grows younger, but only in body. His mind seems to function as a typical human's mind. He learns, and dreams and experiences. This basically sets up the magnificent story and from then on, you are taken from country to country, from one decade, to another and it is just superb to witness. It is very much a heartwarming movie and makes you appreciate more life as it is not measured by in how many years and minutes we try to live rather by the memories we experience as goes through it.

This is the movie adaptation of the short story of the same name written by F. Scott Fitzgerald and first published in Colliers Magazine on May 27, 1922.
