This is one my favorite movies! I didn't expect to like it as much as I did but I think the thing that made me like it was the way the characters were depicted in this film especially Brad Pitt (Who Knew!)
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is the Story of a baby born in the form of an old man.
Benjamin was thought to only live to be a few months old, but to everyones amazement he starts aging backwards, and thus begins the story of Benjamin Button.
Benjamin learns life's most important lessons while in his youth, as well as getting to experience the things in life he never thought he would. As Benjamin continues through his strange existence he meets Daisy who would soon become the love of his life.
The great thing about this movie is the love story between Benjamin and Daisy. Being able to see the different stages they go through in life together and especially the most heartwarming part of the film is when Benjamin grows younger and Daisy grows older. Daisy cares for Benjamin as he grows to be the age of an infant as if he were her own. The thing that really breaks your heart in this movie is knowing that Benjamin and Daisy could not grow old together, instead it is the exact opposite and even though their love for each other is so strong they both knew it couldn't last forever.
I 100% loved every bit of this film. It's one of those rare movies that make you wish they could go on forever, and in this case I wish it could have.
