The Story of the Life

Rating: 9/10 (30 September 2013)

Will Bloom, a journalist, had been told the stories which his father, Ed Bloom, made up when he was a child. He is fed up with them and ashamed of him. When Ed makes a speech in the wedding party of Will and his wife, Josephine, he tells all the guests his story – "Big Fish." Will cannot help but go away from the party because he doesn't want to listen to him. Will knows his father who is in the tales Ed tells. However all he wanted to do is know what his father really is. The relationship of Will and Ed is getting worse but Ed's disease makes it changed.
This story is fantastic, amusing and moving. The film has all of them so I had been excited while I was watching it. There are several stories and each of them is related to the others. Taking it into consideration, the stories are elaborate. It is one of the reasons why this film is interesting.
I think that Ed doesn't make up his past. Though, of course, he doesn't talk the fact, he tries to tell his life to his son and everyone in his way. If only what someone says is big fish for the others, he only knows what it means. In fact we may be deaf ears to his story.
