The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is the story of a man who's life begins at the end of World War I in the body of an 80-year-old man. As time passes, Benjamin finds that he is becoming physically younger, but at the same time, wiser and more experienced as he ages. As a young teenager (still physically an old man), Button meets Daisy, who he falls in love with over the years as they grow closer together in physical age.
While the love that grows between Benjamin and Daisy over the course of their lives is heartwarming, it was not enough to make this movie an Oscar winner. The idea of losing the love of your life to a physical aging in reverse is deep and sad, but I expected more from a movie with such an interesting and unusual concept. Overall, I found the movie to be too long, too slow, and too boring.
