Cinema brings a classic to scene again. In this case is F. Scott Fitzgerald's The curious case of Benjamin Button. Fitzegarld was an American writer who lived at the begining of the 20th Century. He belonged to "The lost generation": a group of US writers who lived and wrote between the First World War and the Great Depression. He is world-wide famous for novels such as The Great Gatbsy or Tender in the night (Suave es la noche).The curious case of Benjamin Button tells the story of a boy who is born as a baby but he looks like an old man on the verge of dying. He is abandonded by his father, and he is brought up in a nursery home. There he meets Daisy, a young girl and they become friends. As Daisy gets older, Benjamin gets younger and they fall in love with each other...
Have you seen the movie? Did you like it? Do you think it would be better if we were born as old people and we died as babies?
