What if there was a man who was born very old and lived his live backwards? That's the question director David Fincher poses in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button".

If a man lived his life backwards, it would give him a very unique perspective on things. There's the saying that "life is wasted on the young", and the man with the backwards life knows this and can have a deeper appreciation for living than most others. Often times, only after we face death does life taste sweeter and this thing we call boredom ceases to exist. The false veil of "boredom" causes us to take life for granted.

And in the end, what this man with the backwards life teaches us is that there is no such thing as boredom, that every second is full of meaning. We learn that, above all, age is meaningless, whether you are 15 or 30 or 60, life is precious at every moment and we must feel this and taste the sweet berry of life in all its forms. We cannot hide from life, or call it boredom, instead we have to embrace it by living life to its fullest...
