Fantastic adaptation, very touching

Rating: 8/10 (31 July 2007)

When I began watching the movie I thought it is just another ordinary comedy, but surprisingly it was mush more than that.
The director did a very good job trying to reveal his ideas of life and love.
The acting was rather good either, and Billy Crudup in particular was magnificent. Actually the only movie I saw for Billy was Almost Famous and maybe he was good but in Big Fish he was someone else, his acting is so sweet and gentle yet powerful and very emotional.
The screenplay was amazing; it really is a one of a kind story about life,death, joy, love and family.
And the most interesting thing is the non-stopping music by the genius Elfman from start to finish; it is fitting perfectly with every scene. Well deserved academy award nomination.
This is really a very rich experience that is not to be missed.
