It's not hard to catch the greatness of this film

Rating: 8/10 (2 February 2005)

Big Fish is another great film from the genius director Tim Burton, who has made such great films like Batman, Beatlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, and The Nightmare Before Christmas. Tim Burton's films are conceived differently by certain people. Many people love his movies, but some think he's too bizarre and others just don't bother with his movies because they think the idea is too stupid. Those people don't understand the concept of Tim Burton's movies. His movies are kind of odd on the outside, but they have a great message deep inside. That is what it takes to appreciate his newest film Big Fish.
Big Fish is about an older man(played by Albert Finney) who tells stories about his life. These stories seem very far-fetched, but are true deep inside. This man's son doesn't believe these stories and is seeking to find the real truth behind them. While doing so, he realizes that sometimes it takes imagination and creativity to appreciate the message behind it.
In Big Fish, there is a lot of imagination and brilliant visual effects, as well as great acting and a good message. Before I saw this movie, somebody told me it was very odd. It is a different kind of movie, like all of Burton's other movies, but being odd isn't always a bad thing.
I would highly recommend Big Fish to anyone. If you experienced this movie the way many others have, then it will change the way you look at the world around you.
