That was a marvelous piece of work. I was in tears at the end in awe of how beautiful the story was. So innocent and yet melded with reality, it gave us both worlds for us to experience, and the best of each.

Tim Burton did an excellent job in taking this story and making it into film. The Burton Style was uniquely held back in my opinion, creating a sort of dreamworld that was almsot always somewhat believeable, and yet, not. It never clashed with the reality, creating a plot that was always acceptable.


Overall, I tought it was a marvelous little film that made me feel happy all over:D

I agree. Burton did a great job.
Definitely one of my favorite Father/Son relationship movies

Now go rent Blade: Trinity, so you can get your Man Card back :p

Seriously, though, Big Fish is a good movie.

saw it on a flight back from Hawaii, that was a rare treat. Usually flight movies suck!

I too was impressed. Burton's reputation for movies had gone down the sh!tter awhile ago (Batman, Planet of the Apes - yuck!). My fiance loved it so much she demanded we add it to the collection. She still cries everytime she watches it. Very polished movie, although I grimace everytime I see the giant guy, he looks like he can't move an inch without being in pain.

Kage, I know what you mean by Burton having killed his rep, but I think between Big Fish and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, he'll regain a lot of it.

An awesome, awesome movie. One of my favorites ever.

Also one of the few movies where the book is honestly not nearly as good as the movie.
