We were meant to lose people

We were meant to lose people. How else would we know how important they are? 我们注定会失去我们所爱的人，要不然我们怎么会知道他们对我们有多么的重要？——《本杰明·巴顿》1919年，全世界的人民刚刚从第一次世界大战的阴霾中走出之时，却在美国的巴尔的摩发生了一件怪事。

一个叫本杰明·巴顿(布拉德·皮特饰)的奇异婴儿在降生之后被亲生父母遗弃在街边。

因为，这个前所未有的怪胎竟然一出生就是一个古昔老人的模样。

幸运的是，一位好心的黑人妇女收养了巴顿这个怪异的婴儿。

并在随后的岁月里，带他一起生活教育他成长，尽管本杰明·巴顿老弱的身体和看似即将先于继母辞世的长相常常让他在“同龄”的同学们当中成为被嘲笑的话柄。

但老继母的不离不弃，时刻给予着他继续生存下去的理由。

终于，本杰明迎来了自己在人世上生存的第11个年头，此时的他看起来也似乎健康年轻一些。

但依旧老态龙钟。

但巴顿在学校里遇到了彻底改变他一生的第二个女人——当时还仅仅6岁的小姑娘黛茜(凯特·布兰切特饰)，她的可爱和纯真彻底征服了“老男人”巴顿的心。

而巴顿同样真诚、清澈的心也感动了小黛茜，两人之间的爱慕之心开始萌芽……十几年后，第二次世界大战的战火更加猛烈地燃烧着整个世国来到英国为反法西斯战争做出贡献。

这期间，他遇见了各种各样的人物，目睹到了真正人生的悲剧，也体验到人性最伟大的光辉……二战争结束后，本杰明重返美国。

此时的他已然摆脱了儿时老态的模样，渐渐成长为帅气且魅力十足的中年人。

并且，命中注定般地在纽约与儿时的梦中情人黛茜重逢。

而此时黛茜也出落成一位风姿可人、事业成功的漂亮舞者了。

两人经过成熟的交往之后，终于在年龄和外表都完全匹配的情况下一同度过了幸福美好的几年时光。

但是，随着时间的继续，本杰明继续年轻，英俊阳光的他也吸引来另一位迷人姑娘伊丽莎白·阿伯特(蒂尔达·斯温顿饰)的闯入。

就在所有人都苦于岁月带给他们的衰老之时，本杰明·巴顿却犹如返老还童一般逆行而上。

就像这个经历了两次世界大战洗礼过的世界一样，愈发地显现出青春活力。

与此同时，巴顿与爱人们的关系也遭遇了种种难以逾越的障碍……美国南部，新奥尔良，卡特里娜飓风肆虐。

某间医院里，奄奄一息的黛西（凯特·布兰切特）将一本回忆录交给了女儿卡萝琳（朱莉娅·奥蒙德）。

回忆录的主人，是一位叫本杰明·巴顿（布拉德·彼得）的男子。

1918年，一战进入尾声。

欧洲战胜的那天，新奥尔良一个姓巴顿的家里，一个男婴呱呱坠地。

小巴顿甫一出生，便似乎与众不同：母亲难产而死，接生的医生吓得魂不守舍，而父亲更狠心把这个初生婴儿丢弃到了老人院门口！当老人院的黑人大婶发现小巴顿时，她同样吓得不轻--眼前这个幼小的婴孩居然一生下来就是个满头白发、一脸皱纹的古稀老头！然而，善良的大婶并没有嫌弃这个弃婴。

她收留了本杰明，并悉心照顾。

在偏僻的老人院，貌若八十岁老头的本杰明并不显突兀。

于是，年复一年，他快乐地长大了。

说来也怪，本杰明的生物钟似乎是倒退着走的--别人越活越老，他却越活越年轻。

直到有一天，这个十二岁的小老头遇上了前来探望祖父的六岁小女孩黛西。

黛西一天天长大，成为了芭蕾舞者。

而越来越年轻的本杰明则意外去了俄罗斯，不仅和一名英国间谍的妻子伊丽莎白（蒂尔达·斯文顿）有了一段情，还卷入了二战风云。

战争结束之后，本杰明回到了新奥尔良，又重遇了昔日的小伙伴黛西。

他如今面如冠玉，她亦是女性风韵十足；他继承了父亲的遗产和工厂，她则是芭蕾事业腾飞的强势女性。

然而时隔30年终于“长”得年龄相仿的两人之间，虽然彼此相爱，却横亘着一道不可跨越的时光之墙：他注定回到年轻小伙，而她却必定会逐渐老去。

短暂的好时光之后，痛苦的抉择如期而至......精彩对白Daisy: Are you sickBenjamin Button: They said I was gonna die soon but, maybe not.Daisy: You're odd.黛西：你生病了吗？本杰明·巴顿：他们说我快要死了，好像又不是。

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Benjamin Button: Sometimes we're on a collision course, and we just don't know it. Whether it's by accident or by design, there's not a thing we can do about it. A woman in Paris was on her way to go shopping, but she had forgotten her coat - went back to get it. When she had gotten her coat, the phone had rung, so she'd stopped to answer it; talked for a couple of minutes. While the woman was on the phone, Daisy was rehearsing for a performance at the Paris Opera House. And while she was rehearsing, the woman, off the phone now, had gone outside to get a taxi. Now a taxi driver had dropped off a fare earlier and had stopped to get a cup of coffee. And all the while, Daisy was rehearsing. And this cab driver, who dropped off the earlier fare; who'd stopped to get the cup of coffee, had picked up the lady who was going to shopping, and had missed getting an earlier cab. The taxi had to stop for a man crossing the street, who had left for work five minutes later than he normally did, because he forgot to set off his alarm. While that man, late for work, was crossing the street, Daisy had finished rehearsing, and was taking a shower. And while Daisy was showering, the taxi was waiting outside a boutique for the woman to pick up a package, which hadn't been wrapped yet, because the girl who was supposed to wrap it had broken up with her boyfriend the night before, and forgot. When the package was wrapped, the woman, who was back in the cab, was blocked by a delivery truck, all the while Daisy was getting dressed. The delivery truck pulled away and the taxi was able to move, while Daisy, the last to be dressed, waited for one of her friends,who had broken a shoelace. While the taxi was stopped, waiting for a traffic light, Daisy and her friend came out the back of the theater.本杰明·巴顿：有些时候我们就活在即将发生冲撞的轨道上，浑然不知。
