From the day he was born in 1918, Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt) has grown younger, not older. As you would expect, Benjamin\u2019s life is anything but typical, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. When his longtime crush, the regularly aging Daisy (Cate Blanchett), returns to his hometown of New Orleans, the normal definition of \u201chappily ever after\u201d doesn\u2019t apply. This poignant turn is one of the great charms of David Fincher\u2019s crowd pleaser (adapted from F. Scott Fitzgerald\u2019s short story), an epic, rousing fable that focuses on self-exploration and empowerment. As the title character says, \u201cFor what it\u2019s worth, it\u2019s never too late\u2014or in my case, too early\u2014to be whoever you want to be.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
