Overall I try to be fair when commenting on a movie!

Rating: 10/10 (16 July 2004)

This movie was quite possibly one of Tim Burton's most moving movie since Edward Scissorhands. Ewan McGregor's portrayal of Edward Bloom was especially captivating. The softness of the color tones set the mood for the whole movie. The brightness in the flashbacks symbolize the happiness of that time. The somber tones of the reality signify the distress of the present time. The movie over all is excellent. The editing was excellent as well. The way that they break up the somber mood of the present with the whimsical flash backs causes the watcher to feel the moods strongly. Jessica Lange does excellent work at portraying emotion on camera. I suggest everyone see it at least once.
