In the movie fantasy The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Benjamin experiences the unusual life of someone who is born old and then as time passes, becomes young, in a sort of reverse aging. He starts off life as a baby, but as an old baby, with wrinkles and the joints and body of an old man. As time passes, he grows taller, but also younger. Daisy, his love interest, once asks him, “What’s it like growing younger?” Benjamin responds, “Can’t really say, I’m always looking out of my own eyes.” When the span of an ordinary lifetime elapses, Benjamin reverts back to a baby but without the memory of his life. It reminded me of the saying, “Youth is wasted on the young.” In the case of the movie, actually, we find that the youthful Benjamin has already lived a lifetime as an adult and an older man but was unable to benefit from living life older first.
