Well, we first hear reference to the hummingbird from the boat captain when he is talking about their wings. When most of the crew died, Benjamin saw the hummingbird out at sea. And the hummingbird was at the window when Daisy dies in the hospital. So, reincarnation? Some small hope that there is something after we pass, that we are never completely alone...I suppose you would have to make your own opinion on that one. For the clock, that seemed the most obvious. The backwards running clock was representative of Benjamin's entire life. Instead of time moving forward and aging us, Benjamin's clock ran backwards and gave him his youth. The hurricane, like someone else stated, was what I believed to be a time reference. I loved it too, so well done.

In the b-movie world, there are very few creations that come close to the terribleness of the curious case of benjamin button. A platypus is a work of art compared to that thing. I believe i got dumber in the hour and a half half I spent in the three hour movie. That's right I left early, fifteen minutes in i found myself listening to my Ipod rather than watch that wannabeee watchable movie. This embarrasing attempt at a movie would not be so bad if it didn't suck! And thats the truth. Does it matter.

Otherwise they could be in a hospital room pretty much any time in the last 30 years or so.
