BIG FISH AS FASCIST TALE

Rating: Null/10 (23 June 2004)

Funny how most people disagree with what is so obvious to my way of thinking, or feeling. I found THE BIG FISH a huge FASCIST tale, much worse than FORREST GUMP, to which it is fairly compared to. It is the story of a man who would do anything to get what he wants, totally disrespectful of others feelings and lives, it is a saga of a male imperialist chauvinist conqueror in all aspects of life and what is most annoying is that his crudeness and indifference to others feelings, all his passive aggression, his violent innocence, is not at all contested but seen as 'he was a magnificent man after all' and everyone joins him at the funeral scene blah blah blah. Everyone, well not exactly. Find who are missing and that may get you thinking into my p.o.v. I was so disappointed that Tim Burton appears to service a whole different set of values than I had thought judging from his masterpieces (i.e Scissorhands, Nightmare before Xmas etc) that I now believe that to me, THE BIG FISH is the worst film EVER.
