[TheCarlliinha]

they were both in their 40s here, right?

@TheCarlliinha yes. Benjamin is 42 years old . since he was born in 1918 and died in 2003 so... 2003 - 1918 = 85, so 85 divded by 2 = 42.5 years old. And Daisy met benjamin in 1930, at the age of 6, mean Daisy was born in 1924, and Daisy died in 2005 because Hurricance Katrina was approaching, so 2005 - 1924 = 81, 81 divided by 2 = 40.5 So Benjamin is 42 years Old and Daisy is 40 Years Old...........................­.............isn't Maths fun :D

@FienStudios Benjamin was 42 and Daisy was 39, she does contradict her age in the movie a couple of times though.

They were only together for 7 years before he left her... this film makes me cry.
