The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

I’ve decided to choose the last movie that I saw, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”, directed by David Fincher.
The storyline of the movie it’s about a baby boy who is born with the appearance and physical diseases of a eighty five years old man, whose mother dies on having given birth to it, and whose father leaves him on the door of a nursing home, were he is found by the worker of the home, who decides to adopt him, be his mother and call him Benjamin.

In the course of the story, Benjamin begins to grow younger, and when he is a kid (with the appearance of a 60 years old man), meets Daisy, a young girl who visits her grandmother every weekend at the nursing house. Benjamin and Daisy become friends for ever, and when they grow up, they fall in love, but when they have a daughter, Benjamin decides to leave them, because he knows that with time he will grow younger and younger, until he turns into a baby.

This is a really god movie, because it’s completely unusual and different from the rest. The development of the story is not predictable and you are involved during the whole story. These are the characteristics of all the movies of David Fincher, like for example the fight club, the panic room etc.

The film is very long, so the soundtrack is very varied. The film's first trailer featured the "Aquarium" movement of Camille Saint-Saens "The Carnival of the Animals", and the international trailer contains the song "A Moment of Greatness" by Immediate Music. But I don’t know very much about this music.
