Another great Joseph Campbell movie

Rating: Null/10 (29 January 2004)

Following on from his success with Star Wars, The Matrix, Lord of the Rings and possibly others, Big Fish is another great Joseph Campbell movie! This is a wonderful version of Campbells 'Universal Myth', this time stressing the importance of personal mythology. Other reviewers have noticed a cameo appearance by Campbells book 'The Hero with a Thousand Faces', which sits on the bedside table during a father/son reconcilliation scene. I'm afraid that I didn't spot this, but on leaving the theatre I commented to my girlfriend that Hero with a Thousand Faces contains Big Fish and all of the movies listed above.
This is one of the deepest movies that I have ever seen - another masterpiece for director Tim Burton. I loved it!
