An Aesop's Fable

Rating: 10/10 (31 January 2004)

Big Fish was such a wonderful experience with its human qualities that touched the heart. Family was so important to Ed Bloom who craved attention of all those who would listen to him. It brought him joy to share his special stories. We all cry for those times when a parent created a story that brought a bit of the real and unreal together into a story that would be a bit like an Aesop's Fable. The large catfish was such a fable that could be included in my old, well-worn copy of Aesop's Fables. I loved the characters and everything about the film. It is a winner even though it was ignored by the Oscars. We all know it won and that is what is important.
