Big Fish (2003)

Redundant and unnecessary.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

The acting in this movie is really good.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Beautiful, clever, humorous, tender hearted and genuine.

I'll admit, the film didn't arrest my attention right off the bat. Into the first 30 min I was certain this was going to be a 4 out of 10 star movie but man, it just got better and better, and the ending was surprisingly clever and far more endearing than I originally thought this movie capable of. That's not to say that only the ending is good and the rest of the movie is bad or sub-par; it just has a certain style and panache to it that takes some getting use to. Since watching 'Big Fish' a few months ago it has quickly become one of my guilty pleasure films; it's so bright, colorful, and overall humorously zany. I've come to adore this film.I'd give it a rating of 7 1/2, but since that isn't an option, I guess 7 will have to do.

And the best imagination how you could watch the story of your own life in a movie behind the eyes of a child. all time favourite since i have watched it for the first time. many more should be left as well... classic!

Movie Review: "Big Fish" (2003)Based on a 180-pages book by Daniel Wallace, published in 1998, screenwriter John August prepares every scene for director Tim Burton to shine in a time-shifting story-structure of the main character Ed Bloom's life-story, full of imaginative supporting characters, becoming creatures of fantasy as a giant, a wolf other circus folk, when director Burton can rely on Ewan McGregor's acting skills to fill in for Johnny Depp preferring to play "Captain Jack Sparrow" for Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films in the first installment of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" (2003).Legendary "Tom Jones" actor Albert Finney gives face to "Old Man" Ed Bloom in match-making scene on the dying bed with supporting son character Will Bloom, portrayed by Billy Crudup in beat-staking slightly-too frustrated manners, when nevertheless a genre mix of comedy, drama and event movie spectacle in capable hands with director Tim Burton delivers an holiday movie of season 2003/2004, which should have earned a wider audience attendance, but some how stays a secret high-end Hollywood movie recommendation for those, who dare to dream beyond what the plainly eye presents to them in daily life.With "Big Fish" there is always something to discover in ultra-rich cinematography as production design by Dennis Gassner, worth every "dime" of producer Richard D. Zanuck (1934-2012) orginazing major production values for Tim Burton, who nevertheless seems to miss "Johnny" as leading character Ed Bloom to make the ultimate "Academy-Award-pushing" efforts work, when long-term friend composer Danny Elfman galvanizes the picture with a beautiful emotional score, when further supports as the director's wife Helena Bonham Carter, Danny DeVito and scene-dominating actress Jessica Lange get all at least one scene in the spotlight to make "Big Fish" motion picture entertainment of the highest order.
