| Abstract: | About the Movie： In August 2005, an 81-year-old Daisy （Cate Blanchett） is on her deathbed with her 37-year-old daughter Caroline （Julia Ormond） in a New Orleans hospital as Hurricane Katrina approaches. Daisy tells Caroline the story of a blind clockmaker named Gateau, who was commissioned to create a clock to hang in the New Orleans train station. After receiving news of his son＇s death in World War I, he continued work on his clock, but intentionally designed it to run backward, in the hope that it would bring back those who died in the war. After her story, Daisy asks Caroline to read aloud from a diary containing photographs and postcards written by Benjamin Button （Brad Pitt）. Caroline begins to read as the story transitions to Benjamin＇s narration. |
