Review of Big Fish (2003) by Sam M — 18 Feb 2013
Big Fish proves that Burton is as good as any other director in Hollywood. This is a beautiful and heartwarming story that showcases Burton's oddball reality alongside fine cinematography and a beautiful script that instead of focusing on the weird, focuses on beauty and love with Burton's usual flamboyantly bizarre images thrown in.
The result is a masterpiece of storytelling with McGregor in his best performance yet and Buscemi in a great comic relief piece. This is certainly an example of original storytelling, but it is also an example of how filmmakers can use different narratives to tell virtually the same story but in a stunningly fresh and witty format.
