THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON


Just watched this long long movie...by myself..haha...Yes. as Cat would say "sad" ...but the story follows "a man (Brad Pitt) who is born in his eighties and ages backwards. A man, like any of us, unable to stop time. The story is set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the twenty-first century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man's life can be. The post continues on to promise "a time traveler's tale of the people and places he bumps into along the way, the loves he loses and finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time." It's based loosely from F. Scott Fitzgerald story ..Fitzgerald is one of my all-time favorite authors. If you haven't read the "Great Gatsby" or The Last Tycoon or Tender is the Night, I'd go to Amazon.com and pick them up. You'll feel like you're in "old hollywood" and the roaring 20's. Sweet!
