Sometimes, we complain that a person seems to be figuratively aging backward. But what would it be like to age backward--literally?This is the interesting premise of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, starring Brad Pitt as Benjamin and Cate Blanchett as Daisy, a young woman who falls in love with Benjamin despite his mysterious case.
Adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald and directed by David Fincher, Benjamin Button tells the story of a man who, despite his strange condition, is just like any man, unable to stop time and forced to live with what he is given. Set in New Orleans at the end of World War I in 1918, Benjamin grows younger into the 21st century, discovering people and places along the way, falling in love, and going through the sadness of death and what lasts beyond time.
The film also stars Academy Award winning actress Tilda Swinton, Taraji P. Henson, Jason Flemyng, Elias Koteas, and Julia Ormond.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button opens nationwide on January 8.
