    So I’d never watched the film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button before. I vaguely knew what it was about…kinda. I had a flight and nothing to do so I started it…and kept watching it when I got to my hotel. And continued this morning. Wow.

    Was Jay Gatsby the bad guy???. Just finished up a fourth read of the book, second viewing of the newer movie, and third play-through of the NES game. It's really starting to seem like "Jay Gatsby" wasn't actually such a great guy after all. This would honestly be weird because none of F. Scott Fitzgerald's other books are sarcastically named, he isn't like Charles Dickens that way. Even in Tales of the Jazz Age, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is pretty curious, even if there isn't a lot…

    In The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, the title character ages in reverse. Hummingbirds, which fly backward, and counterclockwise-spinning hurricanes reinforce this theme. These motifs highlight the film’s exploration of time and fate.
