I liked it because of its magic

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2004)

This film tells us the story of a father who tells his life in an imaginary way to his son. He can't believe those stories, but when his father died, all the characters of the tales appeared in the funeral. The name of the film comes from a story of a big fish which anybody could never fish but the father could and that is the animal in which he turned when he died. This is a typical film of Tim Burton with paranoiac scenes and fantastic plots, and I liked it because of its magic and the ability of the director to introduce us into the stories. I think it makes you reflect on life, what boring could it be and what we could do to make it better and after all, to live happier. The combination of the stories with the sound track makes it a very beautiful film.
