The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Well... this story/movie might be old for you guys that already watched it.. But hey, they are some teenagers have not seen this movie. You know, teenagers nowadays or kids nowadays love to spend their time infront of their laptops or phone (a.k.a anti-social. Heheh) so for those who have not watch or seen this movie, i recommend you to buy/download or whatever for you to watch it. Its your choice btw.

Benjamin Button is actually a disease known as progeria. It is estimated to occur in just one in every 4 to 8 million births, according to the Progeria Research Foundation. The extremely rare and fatal disease strongly resembles normal human aging but begins in young children. So they make a movie about this disease titled "The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttob". I once cried watched this movie. I hope you guys too.

Progeria is kind of disease that occurs when the baby is born that doesn't looks like a normal baby instead he/she looks like a seventy or eighty years old man.. But as the year past (according to the benjamin button storyline) a person who have this disease may look become more younger and when his/her age turns to eighty, he/she might looks like a baby. That means this disease turns your looks (age) upside down.

What are the signs and symptoms?
Children with progeria usually develop the first symptoms during tgeir first few months of life. The earliest symptoms may include a failure to thrive and a localized scleroderma-like skin condition. As a child ages past infancy, additional conditions become apparent usually around 18-24 months. Limted growth, full-body alocepia (hairloss), and a distinctive appearance (a small face with shallow recessed jaw, and a pinched nose) are all characteristics of progeria.

Sign and spmptoms of this progressive disease tend to becime more marked as the child ages. Later, the condition causes wrinkled skin, atherosclerosis, kidney failure, loss of eyesight and cardiovascular problems like an elderly people. (From Wikipedia).

Is there any treatment for Progeria? No, there is no treatment except a medication related to cardiovascular problems (or any others).

So, in this movie, they try to show you how the disease works or you can say how the disease affect a person/baby. How will his life goes, how would he faced the world with progeria, how he died and so on.. Curious? Watch it then (bring your box of tissue along!) i am sure that you will impress with the storylines. Same goes to my previous movie preview which is "The Theory of Everything".

Thank you for spending your time reading and browsing thru my blog although it is kind of a little bit boring.. Its okay. I truely understand that. But make sure you guys watch the movies if you have not watched them!
