The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

David Fincher, after directing Se7en (1995) and Fight Club (1999), show us "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" (2008). It is a romantic drama including fantasy and mystery, with Eric Roth's screenplay (same guy that wrote Forrest Gump, 1994), based on a F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel. This possibly based on a Mark Twain quotation: "Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen". The movie is about Benjamin, born like someone being 80 years old and getting younger along time. It is also a love story between Benjamin and Daisy. The couple (Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett) is perfect, as well photography and sound track. Don't miss it.
