The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

 

 

Storyline

On the day that Hurricane Katrina hits New Orleans, elderly Daisy Williams (nee Fuller) is on her deathbed in a New Orleans hospital. 

At her side is her adult daughter, Caroline. 

Daisy asks Caroline to read to her aloud the diary of Daisy's lifelong friend, Benjamin Button. 

Benjamin's diary recounts his entire extraordinary life, the primary unusual aspect of which was his aging backwards, being diagnosed with several aging diseases at birth and thus given little chance of survival, but who does survive and gets younger with time. 

Abandoned by his biological father, Thomas Button, after Benjamin's biological mother died in childbirth, Benjamin was raised by Queenie, a black woman and caregiver at a seniors home. 

Daisy's grandmother was a resident at that home, which is where she first met Benjamin. 

Although separated through the years, Daisy and Benjamin remain in contact throughout their lives...

Note: 

A great lesson is here told: 

Even if it passes a million years, a great love cannot be measured by years old, by how long a couple know each other, by distance or even by words.

love is love, pure, simple and honest.

If you love someone....if you REALLY LOVE someone... you fight for it clean.
