Before Watching: Big Fish (2003)

Rating: 8/10 (18 July 2019)

"Big Fish" (2003) is a charming movie about a dying father and his confused son. If you want to get as much out of it as possible, there are a few things you need to keep in mind before watching:
This movie is directed by Tim Burton. If you are familiar with Burton's other movies, that explains it all.
If you are not familiar with Burton, however, his characteristics are a plethora of witty, weird and wacky moments. Things do not always make perfect sense, but they do not have to. The sweet, charming feeling that surrounds all those small moments is more that enough to compensate for any potential, nick-picky irregularities - if they are even there.
Big Fish is certainly a Burton-movie, and a great one. Expect all of the above, along with some surprisingly profound moments and dialogue that might change the way you think about things. As far as warnings goes, there are a few butts shown throughout the runtime, but nothing more than that. The ending could come off as emotionally intense, but in all, Big Fish is a pleasant ride.
My personal grade: a gleeful 8/10. If you found this helpful, check my profile for more reviews.
