The movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" begins when a wife and husband have a baby boy ,but this boy is different than most baby boys. First off, the birth of that baby made the poor wife die from just illness. Secondly, the baby did not look like your average baby. The baby boy looked truly ugly. And last of all, the now father of that little baby did not want to be the father of that boy anymore. The father attempted to through the baby of a dock and into the freezing water and out into sea, but thankfully a guard of the docks immediately came after the father, so the father have no time to catapult a baby to sea. As the father and baby soon ran of the father spotted a old, small ,wooden , porch that belonged to a retirement home, so the father slowly put the baby down and ran of now knowing that he was no longer a father or husband. Once he left, seconds later two workers came out definitely noticed the baby boy upon his looks . The one woman named Quiny new that if that baby did not find a home soon that baby would die. So that night Quiny named the little boy Benjamin and became a mother. After a few years Quiny realized that Benjamin did not grow like the other kids. He was the same height as the other kids who came to visit their grandparents, but he looked different than the others. He looked a lot older. Everywhere they went together everyone thought he was going to die because he looked like he was around 90-99 years of age, but by the time he could go places he was around 7-8 years of age. Then Benjamin meet someone named Daisy. Daisy loved playing with Benjamin in their younger days and know something was different about Benjamin, it was almost like he was ageing backward! But when the time came in their teens Benjamin went of to war and Daisy went to Paris to be a professional dancer. They promised that they would never forget each other. Through out the time they did not see each other they had new experiences, meet new people , visited other people, and so much more. As more years went on Benjamin got to see Daisy at one of her shows and Daisy almost did not notice Benjamin because as time was moving forwards Ben kept looking younger, but they fell in love after working things out about her carer an other things. After Daisy and Benjamin fell in love they both knew what was coming their way. As Daisy got older and Benjamin got younger it was almost like Daisy was taking care of her own child and yes at one point at the end of the movie they both did pass , but I love this movie because the whole point was you can love someone on so many ways. You can love someone as a friend. You can love someone as a girlfriend. Or you can love someone as your own child.
this movie is really good
