When Novels Become Blockbusters: Must-See Book-to-Film Adaptations

In Francis Scott Fitzgerald’s novel “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” the story revolves around a protagonist who is born as an elderly man. A genetic condition or a mysterious anomaly causes his body to age in reverse, defying the normal passage of time: born as an old man, Benjamin is destined to die as an infant. Director David Fincher managed to create a remarkably thought-provoking film adaptation, with Brad Pitt in the lead role.
