The Curious Case of Benjamin Button


Benjamin Button, born in 1918 with the physical state of an elderly man, ages in reverse. He experiences love and break-ups, ecstasy and sorrow, and timelessness by the time he dies in 2003 as a baby.
The cinematography is beautiful, and I love the originality. Benjamin and Daisy were always at different stages and ages in their life, which contributed to the deliberate emotional distance in the movie that left the relationship feeling cold. The movie is missing a cozy blanket of love to wrap us in warmth.
