Review of Big Fish (2003) by Buggy B — 21 Jun 2014
Bizarre and entertaining story about a son trying to learn more about his dying father by reliving and piecing together stories and myths he's heard his entire life. Tim Burton definitely brings the imagination and Ewan McGregor is excellent as the young William Bloom, can't fault his Southern accent or enthusiasm.
Everyone involved (in the ensemble cast) is pretty good. It's one of those movies where you just go along for the ride, like Forrest Gump or Benjamin Button. you never know what's going to happen next or which strange and influential character will cross his path.
The father-son relationship is bittersweet and I loved the ending. Amusing, magical. 6/19/14.
