00:00In August 2005, the old woman named Daisy was in the hospital because she didn't have much time left.
00:05Although she is obviously in pain, she hears the train and talks to her daughter, Carolyn, about how the station was built in 1918.
00:13After losing her son in the war, the blind Urari invested their energy in the construction of a beautiful clock that was placed on the station on the day of the inauguration.
00:21When the clock was discovered, everyone was shocked and saw that it was going backwards.
00:25Urari explains that he did it as a memento for those who lost their sons during the war so that they could have hope that they would see them coming back.
00:32After that, Urari was never seen again.
00:35Then Daisy asks Carolyn to bring a certain diary from her bag and read it.
00:40The diary belongs to Benjamin Button, and the first contribution begins in 1985, explaining that the sharing of his story was his last wish.
00:48It all starts in 1918, just after the end of World War I, while all the glory is on the field, Thomas rushes to check on his wife as she dies after giving birth.
00:58Then Thomas checks on the boy and is horrified by what he sees.
01:01In a panic, he takes Daisy and leaves the house.
01:04Daisy does not stop crying, while Thomas runs to the river where he thinks he is drowning.
01:08However, the policewoman sees him and starts chasing him.
01:11Thomas runs as far as he can and hides in a dark street where he sees a beautiful house.
01:16He leaves Daisy on the steps, along with all the money he can find in his pocket.
01:20While Thomas leaves, steam comes out of the house and accidentally stands on Daisy, causing her to cry.
01:25Queenie opens the closet and discovers that Daisy looks like an old man.
01:28Her boy thinks he should go to the police, but Queenie takes Daisy and carries her to her room, hiding her in a drawer.
01:34Then she calls a doctor who examines Daisy and discovers many problems, she is almost blind due to cataract, arthritis and osteoporosis.
01:41The doctor does not think that Daisy will survive long.
01:44Queenie decides that the baby is a miracle and decides to keep it, so she goes up and meets him with the residents of the nursing home where she works.
01:50She calls him Benjamin and says that this is the child of her sister.
01:53The elders are not afraid of Benjamin's appearance and consider him nice.
01:58However, Benjamin is strong and does not die as the doctor said.
02:01As the years go by, his body grows, although he still looks like an old man.
02:05Because he lives in a nursing home, he does not consider his appearance strange, he simply thinks that he looks like everyone else.
02:11Queenie's mother's name also depends on her for many things, such as bathing.
02:15She learns to read, but she can't walk and she has a connection to a wheelchair.
02:19Sometimes he would be interested in children in the city, but Queenie does not allow him to leave the house.
02:23The only time Benjamin goes out is when he goes to church.
02:26One evening, Queenie asks the priest for help.
02:29He claims that he will cure Queenie's infertility, then theatrically tells Benjamin to walk again.
02:34After a lot of effort, Benjamin gets up just to fall.
02:37The priest encourages him to try again and Benjamin manages to take a few steps.
02:42At that moment, the priest falls dead.
02:44Time goes by and Benjamin's body becomes a little healthier.
02:48One day, he meets a pygmy who pulls him out of the house for fun.
02:52Benjamin rides a tram for the first time and is amazed by all the pygmy stories.
02:56They drink beer next to the lake and lie down.
02:59After that, the pygmy leaves him because he has a meeting, and Benjamin misses the last tram, so he has to walk home on his heels.
03:05The night when he arrives home, Queenie buries him because of that,
03:08but Benjamin remembers his first taste of freedom as one of the best days of his life.
03:13In 1930, Benjamin looks a little better and can walk with the help of a stick.
03:18In the evening, on Thanksgiving, he meets Daisy, the granddaughter of one of the tenants.
03:23Technically, they are the same age, so Benjamin immediately falls in love with her.
03:27During the fun, Queenie announces that Benjamin also has a hard time feeling love.
03:31That night, Daisy invites him to her cottage in Chebadi and they have a sweet moment together,
03:35which is unfortunately interrupted by the arrival of Daisy's grandmother.
03:38At present, Caroline realizes that Daisy's girlfriend is actually her mother.
03:42Shortly after the birth of the baby, the pygmy leaves the city, so Benjamin begins to feel lonely.
03:47His body becomes healthier every day, so he can bathe and eat hard food thanks to his better teeth.
03:54The new tenant also teaches him how to play the piano because his hands no longer have arthritis.
03:58He often goes to the dock to look at the boats and one day he hears Captain Mike asking for help.
04:04Benjamin applies for a job and becomes a cleaner on the ship.
04:07It's a job without much responsibility, but Benjamin loves it.
04:10He quickly befriends Mike, who is surprised to hear that Benjamin has never been with a woman, thinking he is very old.
04:16Mike brings him home with a suspicious look and shows him his tattoos while he tells his story of youth,
04:22including one with beautiful hummingbirds.
04:24The workers consider Benjamin's appearance disgusting, but one of them agrees to offer him a first experience.
04:29Benjamin is shocked to discover the vitality of a teenager and even suffers.
04:33He promises to visit her often, and Thomas sees him on the way out.
04:37On the street, Thomas comes to Benjamin and offers him a ride.
04:40They end up in a bar and Benjamin for the first time tries alcohol.
04:44They drink and talk until the bar closes, and then Thomas drives Benjamin home.
04:48Queen and Gaupet are jealous, and Benjamin returns during his first Mamour-le-Cam.
04:52Some time later, while a hairdresser combs his hair, Benjamin comments that he looks like he has more hair now.
04:58Benjamin concludes that he actually gets younger every day.
05:01Whenever Daisy comes to visit her grandmother, Benjamin spends time with her.
05:05One morning, he leads them on a boat and convinces Mike to take them for a ride.
05:09They have a great time and watch the cruiser pass by, which Daisy would like to be on such a boat.
05:15In 1936, Benjamin is 17 years old and decides it's time to leave the house.
05:21After apologizing to Queen emotionally, Daisy forces him to promise that she will always write to her.
05:26Benjamin takes a job at Mike's bricklayer, and currently, Caroline finds all the brochures that Daisy sent over the years.
05:33Benjamin travels from port to port all over the world and befriends the crew, which becomes his family.
05:38He also feels stronger and younger every day.
05:41He often receives letters from Daisy, who studies in New York to become a ballerina.
05:46In 1941, the cruiser enters a heavy snowstorm as they arrive in northern Russia.
05:51They leave the bar and Benjamin sees people arguing, concluding that the drunks are the same everywhere.
05:56In the hotel, Benjamin takes a lift and meets Elizabeth, an English woman, who is unlucky enough to be a spy.
06:01As the days go by in Russia, the coldness makes Benjamin's sleep difficult, so one night he comes down and finds Elizabeth, and they drink tea together.
06:09Elizabeth shares all kinds of stories about the places she has visited, and they remain awake until late, just talking.
06:14They begin to meet every night to talk, becoming closer and closer.
06:19Currently, Caroline finds the brochure in which Benjamin says he fell in love, and Daisy remembers the sadness she felt.
06:25The sadness was too great when she received that brochure at school.
06:29As the nights go by, Elizabeth introduces Benjamin to all kinds of new experiences, such as caviar and vodka.
06:34She also shares that when she was 19, she tried to become the first woman to cross the English Channel, but she gave up before she finished.
06:43Benjamin is not happy and ends up falling in love with her, which is another advantage for Benjamin.
06:47The next night, they go for a walk and agree on the rules for the start of the affair, such as never using the word love.
06:53Since then, they spend all night in Benjamin's room, becoming intimate.
06:57After a few days, Benjamin comes down and discovers that Elizabeth has left.
07:01The next morning, Mike announces that Japan has bombed Pearl Harbor and that the US Navy has hired him to support the war effort.
07:08The cook decides to give up being with his wife, so Benjamin takes over his job.
07:12When he returns to his room to pack up, he finds a message from Elizabeth that only says,
07:17It was nice to meet you.
07:19During the war, the cook's task is to pull damaged ships and pieces of metal, so he never sees real battles.
07:24The soldier is assigned to guard the ship, and Benjamin enjoys his stories.
07:28The guy gives Benjamin all his money, asking him to give it to his wife if something happens to him.
07:34That night, the owner hears a bell and sees fire in the distance.
07:37The transport ship, which carried more than a thousand people, was hit by a torpedo, and Benjamin's ship was the first on the scene of the accident.
07:43Unfortunately, the enemy submarine is nearby, and the crew decides to sink it.
07:47The enemy opens fire on them, and the soldier on the ship immediately fires a shot, buying them time as the ship approaches the submarine.
07:53With a quick blow, they manage to explode and sink it.
07:57Unfortunately, there is no time for celebration, because the whole crew is hit by bullets, and Benjamin has to say goodbye to his mother before he dies.
08:03The next morning, Benjamin is rescued by his allies, and when he throws the rescuer from the ship into the sea, Kolibrić appears.
08:09His mother loved Kolibrić, and Benjamin realizes that they usually don't show up at sea.
08:13He also sends money to his wife, as requested.
08:16In 1945, when Benjamin is 26 years old, he returns home looking like a 50-year-old man.
08:24He reunites with Queenie again and sees his sister as a teenager.
08:27Unfortunately, Kolibrić finds out that the boy, his mother, died a few months ago.
08:32Benjamin begins to live there again and plays the old man's piano, recognizing several old faces.
08:38One morning, Daisy, who is now a young woman, comes to visit her grandmother, and at first does not recognize Benjamin.
08:43When she finally recognizes him, she runs to hug him and hug him because he stopped writing.
08:48They remember the old times and decide to go out for dinner together.
08:52During the whole meal, Daisy keeps talking, and Benjamin realizes that their worlds are now very different, and he is also surprised that she is smoking.
08:59Then they go to the lake, and Daisy shows her dance moves before she kisses Benjamin, inviting him to an intimate relationship.
09:06Benjamin feels confused and refuses, so Daisy soon returns to New York.
09:10As the weeks go by, Benjamin becomes younger and stronger.
09:14One night, Thomas comes to see him while walking with a stick because of an infection on his nose.
09:18The men go out for dinner, and Thomas admits that he is sick, so he doesn't have much time left.
09:23After that, Thomas takes Benjamin to his farm in Dougmady and shows him before he finally recognizes his father.
09:29He apologizes for leaving him and shows him a picture of his family at home, explaining what happened to his mother.
09:36Thomas wants to leave everything to Benjamin before he dies, but Benjamin barely brings this news and leaves them.
09:41After thinking a lot about it and listening to Daisy's complaints, Benjamin decides to return to Thomas, and they visit the lake.
09:48They look at the water together and find peace with their pasts before Thomas dies.
09:52Vinny goes with Benjamin on a ride, and he assures her that she is still his mother.
09:57In 1947, using Thomas' money, Benjamin travels to New York to see Daisy.
10:02She is currently in the theater and is very touched by her performance.
10:06After the show, he leaves behind the screen, and Daisy is very shocked when she sees him.
10:10She behaves very recklessly and rejects his invitation to dinner, but invites him to go out with her friends.
10:16In the dance club, Benjamin can pick up and watch Daisy with her new boyfriend and leave.
10:21Daisy follows him and explains that she could not stop her life just because he came, and Benjamin lets her go.
10:27In the present, Daisy explains that Benjamin came to tell her about his father and that she was so obsessed with her world that she disbelieved him.
10:34She also discovers that she was the first American woman to be invited to dance with a better ballet.
10:39After that, Daisy joins the ballet company in Paris, but still thinks about Benjamin, who still helps her in the nursing home.
10:45One day, she receives an urgent letter that tells her that Daisy hit a taxi.
10:49Benjamin immediately flies to Paris to visit Daisy in the hospital.
10:53The car broke Daisy's right leg, which means that her ballet career is over.
10:57Daisy notices that Benjamin now looks young, handsome, even perfect.
11:01She is ashamed that she was seen in such a state and asks him to get away from her life.
11:06Benjamin leaves the hospital, but stays in Paris for a while to be careful.
11:10In the present, Daisy admits that she never knew that.
11:13In the end, Benjamin leaves Paris and decides to go on a cruise on Thomas's ship.
11:17He never forgets Daisy, but he still has fun nights with a bunch of other women.
11:22Also, he buys a bicycle and goes on long trips alone.
11:25In 1962, Daisy appears at Queenie's to see him.
11:29She hugs him, and after she is abandoned above the window, they finally have the first time together, no wonder, because they look the same age.
11:36After that, they start traveling together, enjoying the wonderful life in an inter-room society.
11:40When Benjamin finally returns home, he is angry when he hears that Queenie has died.
11:45He attends her funeral, and then Paris decides that it's time to start over.
11:50Benjamin sells Thomas's house and buys a duplex for their new life.
11:54They have a lot of fun working together on the construction of something that belongs to them, and they enjoy watching The Beatles on TV for the first time.
12:00Their neighbor, physiotherapist Daisy, accepts the advice to start going to the pool.
12:05However, watching other women with perfect bodies worries her.
12:09Benjamin is there for her, and in the end, he decides that he needs to stop regretting, so he opens a dance studio and teaches little girls.
12:15One evening, Benjamin visits her studio, and Daisy brings big news. It's hard.
12:20Benjamin and his mother feel it, because they are afraid that the baby will be like him, and that he will not be able to be a good father, given his upbringing.
12:28One evening, in the evening, Benjamin on TV sees that Elizabeth, now 68 years old, has become the oldest woman to swim the English Channel.
12:37A few months later, Daisy gives birth to a healthy baby, and calls her Caroline, according to Benjamin's biological mother.
12:43At present, Caroline realizes that Benjamin is her real father, and that Daisy has gone crazy again after Benjamin.
12:48Enraged, Caroline goes out of the room to light a cigarette, but the nurse reminds her and brings her back.
12:54Baby Caroline grows up healthy and strong, but Benjamin is still confused by his youth, and asks Daisy to find a real father for Caroline when the time comes.
13:02He even wants to go before Caroline is big enough to remember him, so he doesn't break his heart.
13:08Daisy is against it, but Benjamin points out that he and Caroline can't get rid of both.
13:12After Caroline's first birthday, Benjamin sells all of Thomas' belongings and puts the money on a savings account for Caroline.
13:19Then he leaves in the middle of the night, not saying a word.
13:22At present, Caroline finds a list of Benjamin's addresses, wounds, and for every birthday, in which she apologizes for not being there for her.
13:29Benjamin begins to travel the world, doing various jobs to enjoy life as much as he can.
13:35One night, Benjamin comes to the dance studio, looking like a young man in his twenties.
13:39Daisy pretends he's an old friend in front of Caroline, who doesn't recognize him.
13:43The moment ends, and Daisy's new boyfriend is affectionate, but feels uncomfortable, and leads Caroline away.
13:49Daisy notices how Benjamin looks young, and admits that she was right, that she couldn't get rid of two teenagers.
13:55Then she leaves with her family, saying goodbye to Benjamin one last time.
13:59However, Daisy later appears in his hotel and spends one last passionate night together.
14:04At present, Caroline realizes that she met Benjamin then, remembering that night.
14:09That is also the last thing he wrote.
14:12On TV news, it is reported that Hurricane Katrina is approaching that area.
14:16The nurse tells Caroline that they can choose whether to evacuate, but Caroline decides to stay because she knows that Daisy will not survive long.
14:24Daisy continues the story, saying that shortly after Caroline's father's death, she received an important phone call.
14:30She went to the haunted house, which is still the nursing home of her daughter.
14:35It turns out that the Children's Protection Service found Benjamin, who lives in an abandoned building in New Orleans.
14:41And in his diary, they found Daisy's name and address.
14:44When Benjamin's sister says she's okay to stay there, Daisy hears the piano and goes to check, finding Benjamin as a child.
14:51He shows signs of dementia and does not remember Daisy, but she still feels connected to him.
14:56Since then, Daisy has often visited him and seen how his memory is deteriorating more and more every day.
15:01This makes him a very difficult child who has outbursts of anger and climbing on the roof.
15:05When Benjamin becomes a five-year-old, Daisy moves into the nursing home to watch him, slowly watching him get smaller and smaller.
15:13Little by little, she forgets how to speak and walk, leaving nothing else to the baby.
15:17In 2002, they put a new clock on the train station, and in 2003, baby Benjamin gives Daisy a last conscious look before she dies.
15:26In the present, the flood worsens and an alarm is sounded in that area.
15:30Caroline runs to check the situation, and Daisy sees a hummingbird in the window.
15:34She says, with the god of Benjamin, and finally dies.
15:37The flood caused flooding in various buildings and reaches the old clock hidden in the basement.
