Riassunto

Literature & fiction classic, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a short story written by F. Scott Fitzgerald and first published in 1922. Benjamin Button is born with the physical appearance of a 70 year old man, already capable of speech. When he turns 12, the Button family realizes that he is aging backwards. At the Age of 18, Benjamin Button enrolls in Yale College, but is sent home by college officials, who think he is a 50 year old lunatic. As the years progress, Benjamin Button age backwards. He grows from a moody teenager into a child who attends Kindergarten. After Kindergarten, Benjamin slowly begins to lose memory of his earlier life. His memory fades away to the point where he cannot remember anything except his nurse. Everything fades to darkness shortly after. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button has become a genre fiction classic and the success of the short story led to a Movie Tie-In. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was released as a motion picture in 2008 starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. Although it is a Movie Tie-In, the screenplay differs greatly from the short story. Only the title, Benjamin's name, and most aspects of the aging process are retained in the screenplay.
