What's The Story
Benjamin Button, born in New Orleans in 1918, is no ordinary infant. A doctor declares his body to be aged like that of a man in his eighties, and no one expects him to live too long. Despite predictions, Benjamin survives, seeming in fact to grow younger and stronger. During his childhood he befriends young Daisy, who is unafraid of the "old man." He lives on to attend school, fight in a war, and baffle everyone he meets. As his body grows gradually younger, his heart learns the timeless nature of love.
Three Good Reasons
- 1It's the second on-screen pairing of Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, who were so good together in 2006's heart-wrenching Babel.2Stylish and provocative director David Fincher reteams with Pitt for the third time after Seven and Fight Club. 3It's a lush, engaging and emotional story that has already been pegged by observers as a sure Best Picture nominee.
Bet You Didn't Know
The film is based on a story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, who said he was inspired by a quote from Mark Twain. He was quoted as saying, "Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen."
