Adults need fairy tales too

Rating: 9/10 (26 September 2005)

The father Ed always liked to tell his interesting story to the people around him. However his son Will did not want to listen to the story because he did not believe it. This time was different. Ed was dying. Maybe it was the last time that Will could listen to his father's favorite story. At last Will understood that the story was actually the life of his father, though it was a little exaggerating. So Will helped his father to finish the story. The son and the father became one man. That was the most touching part in the movie.
Sometimes life is boring. Everyday you have to work from nine to five. The route is fixed. Home, company and home. The adults also need something to refresh themselves. Fairy tales does not only belong to children, though the adults are not so imaginative as children. Enjoying fairy tales like a child is beneficial for adult.
This time Tim Burton brought us a brighter movie since the depressing Edward Scissorhands. He did tell us an absorbing adult fairy tales.
One of the best movies in 2003. 9/10
