Unfortunately, time in real life can never be turned back, so in the movie "The Wonders of Benjamin Button", the watchmaker father who has worked all his life made the last clock after his son participated in the war.
Clock that rotates counterclockwise.
Because his son was killed in World War I. He hoped that time could be turned back, the clocks could be turned back, people could be rewinded, so that his son would come back, would not go to war, and would not die.
Then he will always be with his son and will never lose his son.
So, the day when he made the clock, the day when the mayor hung up to the station's bell tower, and began to walk counterclockwise, the war was over, but the children who died on the battlefield could never return to their hometown.
So, his clock had to go backwards. Slowly backwards, time can be turned back, and children may be able to return home one day...

This story itself is very attractive, and the person who can make up this story must also be a legendary person, yes, this movie is based on the famous legendary novelist -
Based on Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald's novel of the same name, The Curious Affair of Benjamin Button.
The novel tells the story of Benjamin Barton, an infant born with the image of an 80-year-old man, who gradually becomes younger as the years go by.
Eventually, he returns to his infant form, falls in love when he was young, and finally marries and has children, divorces and goes away, returns, and dies in the arms of his elderly lover Daisy.
Fitzgerald, in itself, is legendary. His father was a wealthy furniture dealer, but he liked to read novels and tried to write plays when he was young. In college, he also formed his own theater troupe and wrote for the university's literary publications.
In 1920, at the age of 24, he published his first novel, "Paradise on Earth", which became famous at once, and then married a beautiful girl who admired vanity, Gisanda.
After marriage, he took his beautiful wife to live in Paris, and met many American writers such as Hemingway and Anderson, who were 3 years younger.
In 1925, at the age of 29, he wrote the great masterpiece "The Great Gatsby", which established his position in the history of modern American literature and became a spokesman for the "Jazz Age" of the 20s and one of the representative writers of the "Lost Generation".
Unfortunately, his wife was pompous, profligate, and worst of all, she was still insane and sick.
This caused him great pain, and also made him financially unable to make ends meet, and at one point he went to Hollywood to write scripts to earn money to make a living.
As a result, in 1936, at the age of 40, he unfortunately contracted lung disease, and his wife was also ill, making him almost unable to create, mentally on the verge of collapse, and drinking all day long.
In the end, pitifully, he died of a heart attack caused by alcoholism four years later on December 21, 1940, and only lived to be 44 years old.
Later generations engraved the end of the novel "The Great Gatsby" on his tombstone -
So we continued to push forward, sailing against the current, and were constantly pushed backwards until we returned to the old days. ”

The film's director, David Finch, is also famous, the same age as Chinese directors Stephen Chow, Chen Kexin, and Cao Baoping.

At the age of 18, he began to participate in the production of the action science fiction film "Star Wars Six: Jedi Counterattack", and founded his own film company at the age of 25.
In 1992, 30-year-old David Finch, who directed the film "Alien 3" independently for the first time, became a hit.
Three years later, he made the world-famous "Seven Deadly Sins", thus establishing his position in the American film industry.

Brad Pitt, only 1 year younger than director David Finch. Born in 1963, he is the same age as Jiang Wen, Zhang Hanyu, Jet Li, and Zhen Zidan in China.
In 1993, at the age of 30, Pete starred in "California Killer", for which he won the Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival. Two years later, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in "Twelve Monkeys".
But his most famous work is in 2005, at the age of 42, he collaborated with Angelina Jolie on "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", and he also fell in love because of the drama.
Suddenly became a world-famous big star. Just a year before starring in The Wonders of Benjamin Button, he also won the Venice Film Festival Best Actor Award for the second time for starring in "The Death of the Sharpshooter".
In 2008, Pete was nominated for the 81st Academy Award for Best Actor for his outstanding performance in "The Wonders of Benjamin Button".
In fact, in this year, Pitt also starred in the famous American director Quentin. Tarantino's Shameless Bastards. But only "The Wonders of Benjamin Barton" made him "full of pots" and became famous.
Brad Pitt, known as the most beautiful man in the world, has long blond hair and clear blue eyes.
He gives you a charming smile whenever you look at him, but he's also the prodigal son of Hollywood.
Famous actresses Jill Schulen, Juliet Lewis, Gwyneth Paltrow, Claire Frannie, several girlfriends and ex-wife Jennifer Aniston failed to move him into a stable family.
It wasn't until he met Angelina Jolie, a divorced woman, that he made up his mind to get married, but a few years later, he was tired of this step-by-step and boring married life.
The divorce ended. Perhaps, being uninhibited is something he was born with, and at the same time, it is also a unique temperament that permeates his bones, and he uses this acting to attract women.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="62" >4</h1>
Brad Pitt's performance in The Wonders of Benjamin Button is remarkable.
The protagonist Benjamin spent his life in a "childhood" in an old people's home, but his "childhood" was a regression from old age to childhood.
When he meets Daisy, who really went from childhood to adulthood, he falls in love with her uncontrollably. He is a handsome man with great style, and she is also a dance teacher with all kinds of styles.
Sweet love is always short-lived, not only because the essence of love is what it is, but also because Benjamin knows in his heart that all this beauty is temporary...
Eventually they will be separated again, one will grow old, one will be a child.
Daisy said, "You are incredibly young day by day, but I will become an old woman with a wrinkled face, will you still love me then?" ”
Benjamin said, "Will you accept in the future that I need you to change your diaper every day?" Will you raise two children at the same time? ”
Some people say that love cannot be eternal, and happiness cannot be eternal.
Everyone who is in happiness does not realize this at that time, and unfortunately, when one day realizes this, happiness has quietly disappeared.
Therefore, when the old Daisy holds Benjamin, who has become a baby, can no longer speak, does not know himself, and accompanies him to rest in peace, I think everyone who sees this scene will have a feeling in their hearts -
It turns out that there are still eternal things, and everything written down in Benjamin's diary is proof of eternal happiness.
So, this movie is too worthy of people who believe in love or don't believe in love, go and see it.
Love, first of all, has love, there is love, and Benjamin and Daisy in the movie do exactly that, but in real life, we only want love, not love.
Therefore, chasing carnal desires, longing for revelry, always hoping that you are in excitement, madness, to define love.
But I don't know, love is first of all sentient, and this love, is companionship, that is, the sun, moon, stars and the sea, is chai rice oil salt and sauce vinegar tea.
It is quarreling and fighting, it is divorce and remarriage, it is to raise children to grow up and watch each other grow old day by day.
