Continuity mistake: In the scene where Benjamin drinks tea with a woman every night and they have a conversation, the woman's tea glass has varying levels of tea in it between every cut during this scene.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: David Fincher
Starring: Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton, Julia Ormond
Benjamin, who is physically a baby but is mentally an old man, dies in the year 2003. Daisy (Cate Blanchett) dies two years later in a hospital; her last words are "Good night, Benjamin" and a hummingbird appears outside the window. Hurricane Katrina hits New Orleans. Scenes are shown of some of the people that Benjamin met throughout his life: Queenie, the woman who taught him to play the piano, his father Thomas, Daisy, Captain Mike, etc. Benjamin (Brad Pitt) narrates that some people are born to do different things: to be mothers, know Shakespeare, to dance, know about music, etc. The last scene shows a storage room starting to flood and in the room is the old clock that runs backwards (made by Gateau at the beginning of the film). The camera moves closer to the clock and its shown that it still works...

Benjamin Button: For what it's worth, it's never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit... Start whenever you want... You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that stop you. I hope you feel things that you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life that you're proud of and if you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
Question: The old man remarks that he was struck by lightning seven times. I recall him talking about six different times, does he ever talk about the seventh? Also, when were the times that he was struck?

Answer: Here are the "strikes": fixing a leaky roof,while checking the mail, milking the cow, driving his car, minding his own business in a field, taking a dog for a walk, and then at the end there was no "story", but he was by a fence (just before the credits). I believe these are correct.
