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!

A song can take you back instantly to a moment, a place or even a person.
No matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song stays the same, just like that moment.
