Review of Big Fish (2003) by Maymay A — 09 Apr 2012
"An adventure as big as life itself.".
Perhaps, the best Tim Burton film I've seen so far. Tim Burton films are recognized because of their strangeness and dark ambiance. Big Fish may be one of the lightest, but generally, it still possesses that certain Tim Burton touch. The film was light but the story was still emotionally compelling. I really like Ewan McGregor's performance, and also of Albert Finney.
I loved everything about this film. The story was really awesome and touching. It shows a man in the character of Edward Bloom who has the guts and the spirit to turn himself into something big. Though he already achieved a handful of recognitions in his little town, he didn't allow himself to remain like this. Instead, he risked everything to be someone greater than who he used to be. And it was all worth it.
This film was very sentimental and touching. We all know that life can't be as extravagant and fancy as told by Edward. But life could always be a lot better through the power of imagination.
