I have not seen this movie yet but have read a lot on it. It sounds really good. Benjamin Button is born with the physical appearance of a seventy-year-old man
As the story progresses it soon becomes apparent to the Button family that Benjamin is aging backwards.Benjamin returns home, and as the years progress he goes from being a moody teenager to being a young boy and is reluctantly cared for by Roscoe. Eventually, he looks to be the same age as his own grandson, and even attends kindergarten with him. As his body grows younger, Button slowly begins to lose his memory of his earlier life. The toys and games that he spurned as a newborn begin to interest him. As he reaches the end of his life he becomes a baby, and his nanny takes him for walks and teaches him to say words. His memory deteriorates to the point where he can't remember anything except the immediate present, and eventually, all goes dark.
I was thinking if I had been born old i would have already lived thru the hard times, the aches and pains, the old age woman stuff, and would be my current age of 43. I would have so much to look forward to right now.....woodsy
