Dude, it was a great movie.

Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2004)

I have just seen Big Fish and I believe this is a movie that will go down as a cinematic masterpiece. I'm not a huge Tim Burton fan, so I was a little weary, but I thought it was an actually beautiful film. What is important about this film is that it an asthetic film, and just plain visually pleasing. I mean how awesome did it look when Ewan McGregor is standing in the middle of a field of daffodils, and how beautiful the town of Spectre was (the first time we see it), the colors were amazing. I also think that the stories that we see are the listeners interpretation of the events. (Of course the giant can't be like 20 feet tall, but when you hear a guy talking about giants that's what most listeners will imagine.) I have to admit the main reason why I did see the movie was because Ewan McGregor was starring in it (I wouldn't mind more scenes with him), but I was not dissapointed with the stellar acting of Albert Finney etc... What is most important to know is that this is not a "normal" movie, so don't go to the theatres expecting to see a "normal" movie. I can understand if you don't appreciate all the metaphors, and the abstract quality to this movie, but please to just bash it saying that is sucked. This movie totally did not suck at all.
