The movie features Benjamin Button, played by Brad Pitt, as old man who physically ages backward. He is born an old man and ages in reverse until he becomes a baby and then finally vanishes from the earth. At age 50, he falls in love with a 30-year-old woman, Blanchett. And then must come to terms with the relationship as they literally grow in opposite directions.

When I first saw the trailer, I was like, "Huh?". But damn, this looks really, really interesting!!

It is original but I dunno,.. to me it's just weird. Maybe it's because I already have kids and the thought of bearing an old wrinkly "man" is not very appealing and in turn, makes the movie not interesting or appealing to me.

i have to agree with you! this does look like an interesting movie!!

i was kinda tearing up at the thought though. the man you love ages backwards and dies as a baby, and you, you grow old and just.. die. T_T
lol, and the music... its very... fairy-tale like.. dreamy and 'tinkly' hahah XD

but that whole concept, its really cool, yet sad at the same time.
zomg, the movie! i want to watch it already!! : )

its kinda like Junior with Robin Williams, hehe.

omgahh
i just did some research, and the movie is based on one of F. Scott Fitzgerald's short stories!

When I saw the trailer for it, my breath was taken away. It looks like such an interesting tale, and the trailer was done so perfectly to spark my interest in it. LOL

I saw the trailer seeing Indiana Jones. Looks promising!

Kinda looks depressing though.
