love it!

Rating: 9/10 (7 November 2012)

Tim Burton creates a phenomenal movie with believable acting, imaginative cinematography and costumes, and a touching and irreplaceable narrative. The movie is about William Bloom, a young man who never really knew his dying father, Edward. William only knew tall tales about his father's life. Edward told William elaborate stories about growing up, making his way in life, and meeting his mother. During Edward's last days, William and his wife Josephine stay with him as the old man recollects intricate memories of his youth. The unique plot creates a journey that is unexpected, enchanting, outrageous, and genuinely moving. There is no other way to describe it, but as unique. The mythical or possibly true stories of Edward's eventful life captivate me and include me on a journey in an effort to separate fact from fiction. Each story is fascinating and original. William most accurately describes his father's tales; "And as strange as his stories got the endings were always the most surprising of all." Big Fish is unlike other dramatic comedies. It is not hilarious moments leading up to a big dramatic climax like most dramatic comedies, but the movie as a whole is filled with comedy and drama. This movie is unique and interesting. I love this movie and you will too if you like unique stories.
