The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a 2008 film in a modern setting loosely adapted from the 1922 short story of the same name written by F. Scott Fitzgerland. The film is directed by David Fincher, and stars Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. The film was released on December 25, 2008. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is not a movie one could have predicted from the makers of Se7en, Fight Club and Zodiac. It follows the life of Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt), who is born with the appearance and physical limitations of a man who is 85 years old. Abandoned in a nursing home by his father, Thomas Button, Benjamin begins aging backward on the outside of his body. While in the home, he meets Daisy (Cate Blanchett), a young aspiring ballerina. As the film progresses, the two fall in love, while struggling to deal with the issue of one growing younger while the other grows older. Nominally based upon the F.Scott Fitzgerald's story The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, the film has very little resemblance to its source material beyond the premise. The film begins with Benjamin Button's birth in New Orleans in 1918. His mother dies in childbirth and his father, Thomas Button (Jason Flemyng), upon seeing Benjamin's ancient crinkly face, races from the house in horror with the bizarre baby cradled in his arms. He leaves the newborn on the stairs of a nursing home run by Queenie (Taraji P.Henson), a practical woman with a lot of love to give. The score to The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was written by French composer Alexandre Desplat.
