A nice and awesome movie overall...

Rating: Null/10 (6 November 2004)

Well. This weekend i really had nothing to do and just decided to rent a movie again. My decision fell on "Big Fish". A movie i was ever interested in and missed in cinema. I really had no intention to rent especially that movie. It just came to me, and in the end it didn't went out as a bad choice.
The story starts a little bit boring, but after 10 minutes i just kept on viewing it. The first blue underwater screens seemed a bit mystical but provided a deep doing. The jumps between being a young man, a man having no perspective and a man with a women and a son are really interesting. They try to show the viewer from how many different perspectives a human can look at events and how these perspectives change during the process of getting older.
Atfer some time the viewer feels like the son of Edward, seeing no reason in his acting and his story telling. All the time i thought it's a drama in the end and an adventure movie in the former time. I was completely wrong. When the son of Edward is experiencing the truth in his fathers
story's, i did as well. I just went to a new perspective on them. I saw a reason, a reason for all what he told his son.
The time line with the death of Edward in the hospital was chosen _perfect_. His son just starts telling a story to his father. A story in which actors he didn't believe. A story unbelievable for him, just telling it to his father cause he wants to hear a story bout his end. On the funeral several people his father described met up. We can't see any action in his face. He is just bluffed.
-> A fantastic story -> A fantastic story line
Things came which i didn't expect first. Awesome work of the actors and the director.
A thumb up. Nice movie for every day and its worth a look at!
