11. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

The movie starts off with Hurricane Katrina coming and Daisy Williams on her death bead. She tells her daughter Caroline to read a diary. The diary is the whole movie. It explains Benjamin Buttons extrodinary life. Benjamin was born with aging diseases at birth, and survives it and is given a chance at an amazing life to experience. A movie displaying something you would never think to happen in a life time. Someone born old and growing younger till birth age! Did that catch your attention enough to want to see it? If fantasy movies are your thing, and you just want to sit back and relax on the couch and watch a charasmatic movie then this is perfect for you! Imagine being born old and grow younger and younger as time goes by. I think it would be crazy but cool at the same time. The way they play out the movie is excellent.  
The highlights of the movie are when Benjamin goes out with a close friend and has his first drinks and comes home drunk and throws up. He then thinks he is old enough to be on his own and goes to sea with Captain Mike, which was into art and had many tattoos. They go through so many adventures while at sea and even endure the War. You feel for Benjamin because he is so old you think he is going to get hurt, but it doesn't happen ever he just gets younger and younger and has a great life. The child friend he always had a crush Daisy Williams see's his young face and is in amazement. After spending a night together and Benjamin denys her they part for a while. After years they meet again and fall in love and have a child. Benjamin leaves her because he doesn't want her having to raise to children eventually. Benjamin goes to India and lives his life as much as possible. He comes back to Daisy's studio one night and see's her and his daughter and her new husband. Thinking he came for no reason Daisy goes and see's him for one last time. The movie is such a great story its nothing I have seen before because of the setting of how Benjamin is going old to young. It is a great movie to see with the family.I give it a great rating and think everyone should see it.
