Benjamin Button

I just watched The curious case of Benjamin Button. It got a little draggy but the show was good. I was crying throughout the whole movie. Yup i'm really useless. It starts with Daisy's daughter reading to her from a diary. At the beginning Benjamin was born old and his dad didn't want him. So basically he leads his life backwards, growing younger every day. What a life.
Towards the middle of the show, he fell in love with someone's wife but in the end she left him. Later on he ended up with his childhood friend, Daisy, and had a really cute baby girl. Before she was born, he was so afraid the the she'd be born just like him. Old. And then he left. And his wife saw him leave. Why?
Cuz he's growing younger and he claims that his daughter needs a father not a playmate. Eventually, his wife remarries but still has feelings for Benjamin. All this while, Benjamin had been writing everything down in his dairy. And every year he writes something to his daughter in his dairy until he eventually forgets he has a daughter.
One day, Daisy gets a call saying that her name appears a lot in a diary of a kid that's wondering about. So she goes to meet this kid and it turns out to be Benjamin. He doesn't remember her. She takes care of him till he eventually dies in her arms as a baby. Really touching movie. To me anyway. Watch it guys!
