A Curious Case Indeed

The curious case is told after the fact, by the reading of Benjamin's diary. It's the story of a boy who is born with all the attributes of an old man. You could say that he has his youth stolen from him, as he has to spend his childhood as an old man, bad knees, arthritis and all. This is where the really curious part begins. He starts to notice that as time goes by, he is feeling better, feeling stronger... He is getting younger. Now I've heard people talk about how youth is wasted on the young, but this wouldn't be true in Benjamin's case. However, one never thinks of the types of problems that can arise by going against the flow of nature. Love, for one, can be difficult. It's not like you can just settle down, start a family and grow old together. This is a beautiful film, based on the short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and a must see for anyone who was in love, is in love, or would like to be.
