The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. A3 Network. Opened December 25, 2008 | Runtime:2 hr. 47 min. PG-13 I was born under unusual circumstances. And so begins The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story, set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any mans life can be. The film tells a grand tale of a not-so-ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the loves he finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.
Cast: Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Taraji P. Henson, Julia Ormond, Jason Flemyng

I understood that but his mind wasn't getting younger, just his body. You see, the message I took from the movie was that we should leave our partners whilst still in our prime because we are inevitably going to deteriorate and become nothing more than a burden to them. I don't think that's a very good moral for a film to promote.
That's why I think I'm maybe missing something. Also when he was in his worst condition towards the end, she was left caring for him anyway (when he was in a similar state to an old person with dementia).
Yes, but it wasn't so much to do with his mind was getting younger, more to do with his mind deteriorating as it would with old age. When Daisy went to see him as a child the man who greeted her said his condition was comaparble to early dementia.

What was Benjamins reasoning for leaving Daisy and their child?
