Big Fish

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 2006)

This is a movie that will truly make you believe in fairy tales. When I think about movies that really truly affected me in some way, Big Fish is definitely one of those movies. I believe it to be one of the best movies I've ever seen. This movie had high morals and a deep story line with dramatic and sometimes unbelievably fantastic turns. The movie tells the tale of a father and son, who is about to become a father himself, the mythology surrounding the father's life, and the reconciliation between fact and fiction. It's not what you would expect from Tim Burton on the surface, but true to form with 'Edward Sissorhands,' Burton's cinematic flair perfectly captures the human condition of life, death, the unimaginable, and the unbelievable in a beautiful piece of art. The scenery in the movie was museum worthy. One sad fact that I believe is that this movie didn't get the publicity it deserved. Not too many people have ever seen this movie, or even heard about it, and that's a shame. I would highly advise if you ever walk by this film in a movie store to turn around and pick it up and watch it.....
You'll love it..
