We went and saw "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" this week. It is based on a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald - which I read last night. You can get it on the computer - I urge you to read it - and if you've read it and seen the movie, let me know what you think.
I felt that the movie was indeed true to the "spirit" of F. Scott Fitzgerald - which the LA Times critic had asserted was the case. The beginning of the movie is very different from the beginning of the story - but it works.
The endings are similar - let me know - re the book, movie or both - what you thought Scotty boy was trying to say.
Maybe "life happens!"
