Christian allegory to the Bible (esp. Revelation)

Rating: 10/10 (9 May 2004)

Big Fish takes you to that hidden place that only a select few only ever get to know or see. Bjork sang about it. Tim Burton recreates it. Take your shoes off and stay for awhile. Mcgregor/Finney is the Big Fish; He is the Christian soul winner who walks by faith and trusts God's word. His stories sound like fairy tales to his son because he has no faith in God or the Bible. Crudup plays the cynical unbeliever. "There is no way Jesus could have walked on water, it's just a made up story!" But you will soon learn that it is not. Amazing parables begin to reveal themselves if only you have argus eyes to see. Carter is Jezebel, the adultress. The fallen angel, Satan, is Buscemi. (He put his shoes back on). Jessica Lange is Eve (the naked woman in the water). Josephine (Cotelliard) I'm not so sure of yet..if you figure her out please let me know! This movie is really going to make God smile...and hopefully you too.
