The Curious Case of Benjamin Button based on a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is directed by David Fincher and stars Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. The story has my palms sweating. I am a sucker for out of the ordinary love stories, which is the case with Button.  A man who is born in his eighties and grows young instead of old. A story about a man who has no control over time and adjusts reluctantly. Who falls in love with a younger woman you grows older as he grows younger.
