Default The Curious Case of Benjamin button
Quote:
On the day that Hurricane Katrina hits New Orleans, elderly Daisy Williams nee Fuller is on her deathbed in a New Orleans hospital. At her side is her adult daughter, Caroline. Daisy asks Caroline to read to her aloud the diary of Daisy's lifelong friend, Benjamin Button. Benjamin's diary recounts his entire extraordinary life, the primary unusual aspect of which was his aging backwards, being born an old man who was diagnosed with several aged diseases at birth and thus given little chance of survival, but who does survive and gets younger with time. Abandoned by his biological father, Thomas Button, after Benjamin's biological mother died in childbirth, Benjamin was raised by Queenie, a black woman and caregiver at a seniors home. Daisy's grandmother was a resident at that home, which is where she first met Benjamin. Although separated through the years, Daisy and Benjamin remain in contact throughout their lives, reconnecting in their forties when in age they finally match up. Some of the revelations in Benjamin's diary are difficult for Caroline to read, especially as it relates to the time past this reconnection between Benjamin and Daisy, when Daisy gets older and Benjamin grows younger into his childhood years

Absolutely... The way director presented the old child born who gradually turn to youth and die as infant.. That way beautifully presented..

I always enjoyed DAVID FINCHER movies... Be it Zodiac, Fight Club, Seven, The game.. Also the quality stuff shown by BRAD PITT was outstanding.. Year 2008 was great for movies, atleast i enjoyed most of them

I'll wait for the DVD. These days I am too lazy to go to the
theater and am spoiled by the comfort of home thater ;-)
