The film is 159 minutes long and is adapted from Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald's novel of the same name. It tells the strange story that Benjamin Barton, who was born as an 80-year-old man, gradually became younger with the passage of time, experienced love, friendship and affection, and finally returned to the baby form.
One of the attractions of this film is that Benjamin grew up differently from ordinary people. Rejuvenation should be the wish of many people when they are old.
Benjamin's fantasy experience gave us an opportunity to satisfy our curiosity, let us grow up with him and feel the joy of rejuvenation.
However, while feeling the joy, it also exposes many problems. As the old woman Benjamin doesn't remember said, he will say goodbye to all his familiar friends because they will die gradually.
All these made the sentence "We are doomed to lose the people we love, otherwise how would we know how important they are to us" deeply engraved in Benjamin's heart, and made him understand that life can't last forever.
