So this is how we are immortalized!

Rating: 10/10 (4 February 2004)

Saw The Big Fish at a Radio 4GY (Gympie, Qld.) preview showing at Noosa AMC last night. What a movie...instant classic cult status. An allegory, a fairy tale.
The intellectual interpretation - Dali comes to the big screen...the mundane minutae of life transformed, enlarged and intensely coloured to more real than real. The familiar sliding into the surreal. We are the interpretation of our own dreams, creating our own reality and therefor our immortality. Here life imitates art.
The emotional response. WOW. Laugh, cry, be amazed and totally involved.
My friend and I talked about it, and thoughts it had provoked, for the next 2 hours. Indescribable yet indelible - can't wait to see it again.
