So the only real similarity between the two is the title? Does that mean people who have never read Fitzgerald (and particularly this story) will get the wrong impression of him? I hope not!

On my blog, I'm writing about movies that could be nominated for the Oscar for writing the best adapted screenplay (for which I have absolutely no qualification to do, but it's fun), and looking at if from that angle, I don't know why the writer called the movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" because the greatest similarity is the title. This is an old concept and it's interesting to read F. Scott Fitzgerald's take on it. I loved the short story also.
