Brad Pitt stars as Benjamin Button, a man who ages backwards. He is born as a tiny, elderly man; after his birth, his own father is disgusted by the sight of his son and attempts to drown him, but at the last second has a change of heart and leaves him on the doorstep of a home for the elderly. How fitting! He is found by his adoptive mother and she sees past his appearance and loves him regardless. The doctors say he doesn’t have much time to live, but instead of dying, he begins to age backwards.

Brad Pitt does an amazing job portraying his character and who ever did the make-up artistry was amazing. I’m not sure how they made him up to look the way he did, but it is really amazing!! Although The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a very long movie, it is really entertaining and a great story.
