Everyone IS the Big Fish

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2004)

(I saw the movie yesterday, and this is what I'd like to share with you)
If you stick to the surface, this movie is about a man who likes to tell stories of his life, who in the end turns to be THE big fish of the movie.
If you go a little deeper, you start to see this movie is about us. Each and everyone of us IS the Big Fish, the Big Star, the main actor in OUR life. Our life consists of countless events (stories) simple to complicated, where we meet other people in circumstances normal to bizarre. Who is to judge what is what and who is who?
On the surface, this is a good movie. Down deep, this movie describes the true essence of our life, and it can easily be regarded as profound.
(Since this movie is based on Daniel Wallace's novel, she should be the one complemented on the vision she was able to record for others to explore.)
