A classic style of movie. More of a flash-back type of movie.
Main scene was actually in a hospital, hurricane is about to pass by the hospital, an old lady accompanied by her daughter, and she asked her to read a diary.
The diary was written by a guy named Benjamin by his adopted mom.
There was also a scene took place during the end World War, where a new huge clock was launched, and the clock moved backward. Aha.

This story was obviously a biography of a man named Benjamin, from Button family.

Benjamin was born physically old.
His size was baby size, but his skin is very berkedut, and all the features of old person. Very old indeed.
His mom dead right after that. So his father, a rich button bussinessman, leave him at a house. It happen to be that the house was kind of rumah kebajikan. So, a noble black woman with pure heart take him eventhough her husband didn't want the baby. She later named her Benjamin.
As he grew up (??), he gained the height, but he really looked like 70 years old when he was just 3. So many things happened that time, like he tried to learn how to walk and stuff like that.
When he was around 10, he met a young girl, and they seems to like each other, even Benjamin still look like 50 years old guy.
Things never gone bad for Benjamin as he gained youth in his physical.
He then joined to work as a sailor.
Things between Benjamin and the girl also went on and off.
Cut it short, Benjamin went for a long trip, involved in war, plus fall in love with someone's wife, and he even told that to the girl I mention before which actually broke her heart.
Benjamin came back home, very young.
His father came to him and story the whole thing.
His father died, and left all the properties to him.
The girl also grown up, and became a famous dancer, had her own life - including love life.
Things gone to Benjamin's way again when she got knocked by a car, and cannot dance anymore. They unite again.
They are going to have a baby. Benjamin worried, because he is now got very young, he look like in the early 20s. The concern was when the baby become teenage, he'll be about the same age or even younger than that. It will be hard to handle, plus the baby need a real father. Benjamin ran away.
He came back at around 15years old.
After that, he stayed at his old-house(the rumah kebajikan), and his 'wife' took care of him until he died as a baby.

The ending scene, Benjamin's daughter noticed that she met his father once, and they looked at similar age.

It is a different movie. Not stereotype, at his own class. COOL.
