« The Curious Case of Benjamin Button » is a 1921 short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, first published in Colliers Magazine, and subsequently anthologized in his book Tales of the Jazz Age (occasionally published as The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Other Jazz Age Stories).[1] Developed for years by the late Hollywood mogul Ray Stark, the rights and story development were purchased from the Ray Stark Estate and adapted for a 2008 film of the same name directed by David Fincher.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was released as a full-length motion picture in late 2008 and early 2009, starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. The story differed largely from the book, with the result that only the title, Benjamin’s name, and the aging process shown in the book were kept the same. In the film, Benjamin is abandoned by his father and lives in an old people’s nursing home with a young African-American named Queenie, whom he calls Momma. When he is seven years of age, he meets a girl named Daisy who believes him when he says that he is aging in reverse. They fall in love and later have a child after many various events and occurences. The film ends with Daisy, at this point an old woman, cradling a baby Benjamin, who has forgotten her and eventually dies. For full details, see the main article.
