The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is about a boy that is born old and eventually dies young. He meets this girl that he falls in love with when he is 10, but he looks like he is 60. This movie is great, it feels like a life long movie however. 
A movie that I would compare it to would be Forrest Gump. Forrest never actually matures in his brain to that of an adult man. He is however present in many historical moments, including the war in Vietman. I compare this movie to The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, because Benjamin was born on the day World War I ended, and then served in World War II, on a tug boat where him and his shipmates drown a Japanese submarine. Forrest Gump falls in love with this hippie that wants to be a musician but ruins her life with drugs. Benjamin Button falls in love with a dancer that almost makes it big, but ends up getting hit by a car and ruining her dreams. These movies are alike in so many ways, the movies are mostly about the main characters entire life and is told by a story.
