Amazing form of storytelling

Rating: 7/10 (9 November 2009)

Actually I saw the movie in like 10 parts taking breaks over a month or so. Well I can't refrain from saying that the movie has a brilliant and fictional plot, quiet a work of imagination but was not able to hold me in a place for more time. The movie is about a father and a son where the father Ed bloom (Evan Mcgregor/Albert Finney) is in a critical condition on the verge of dying. Ed has cancer and is dying of it while his son hasn't spoken to him in years because he thinks of him as a total liar who never really cared for his family. But as Ed again unfolds the story of his life Will (son) tries to learn more about his father through the stories and myths which he used to tell about himself, he never actually believed it to be true but at the end discovers that not most of it was a lie.
The movie contains a lot of characters and number of fragments of story put together by a man called Ed bloom (Evan Mcgregor/Albert Finney) who used to narrate it. He used to narrate it by such a heart that eventually he believed it as his own, in reality the whole story which he used tell was not a fact but a little fabricated. His only son Will Bloom (Billy Crudup) never could trust his stories and always stood apart from him, father and son had a mutual distress throughout the movie. There are a sequence of stories narrated by Ed bloom that how he leaves his small village and goes out to explore the world.
Well the movie is kind of fine, perfect level of drama a little bit of action and comedy thus the makers tried to make it perfect for viewing so I rate it a 6 out of 10. Worth a watch once cause the plot is different script is needs a little bit of work though. I think Evan McGregor was quiet excellent in the movie. So Big Fish is a fairy tale of life
