Very touching and fantastic film

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2004)

In my opinion director Tim Burton has made his best film yet. Big Fish tells the story of a man, Edward Bloom (Albert Finney), famous about his fantastic tales. When Edward becomes ill his son - to which he is not talking to - travels to see him wanting to get to know his fathers real self. During the movie we see flashbacks of young Edwards (Ewan McGregor) life. The movie is very touching and has all the trademarks of its director well in place. The score is brilliant, the actors even more brilliant and the script moves forward steadily without too much explaining. I absolutely loved this film.
