This story was written in the 1920s by an author named F. Scott Fitzgerald. The story takes place in New Orleans, Louisiana from the First World War all the way into the 21st century. The main character is a man named Benjamin Button. But the strange thing about Benjamin is that he ages backwards. He was born as a small old man. As he gets taller, he gets younger. So as the years go on, Benjamin is forced to come to the realization that he will keep getting younger until he dies. During his awkward life, he falls in love with a woman, but this becomes difficult since she ages like a normal person. In 2008, a film version will be released starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. After more than a decade the film was finally made. Early screenings indicated that critics will be very pleased with this film. Audiences also should enjoy the originality and drama of this great story. If this movie is as good as the trailer makes it look, I would not be surprised if there were a few Academy Awards in store for the cast and crew.
