Big Fish

This movie is so fantastic and fantastical. It is such a beautiful story of the relationships we hold in life, and the beauty we can see...if we only look.

FAVORITE MOVIE EVER NOW. OMG SO GOOD. SO GOOD. GREAT PLOT

In my opinion one of the best Tim Burton movies (there are several more as well). The blu-ray was shipped well and was in great shape. Glad to have added it to my collection.

It reminds me of my dad

Great message and fun story

If you miss your late father like I do, this movie will be special. Not because your late Dad was like the Dad in Big Fish, but because you realize the world lost a good man.I think the proper word for The Dad in Big Fish is a Fabulist? A guy that tells amazing stories? Well that's what this Dad does. And all his stories are about his life and feature him. This Dad's stories are fantastic and colorful, but you can sense his stories are grounded in facts that really happened in this man's life.The trouble in Big Fish was that this Dad wasn't really there for his son, as his son grew up. And when he was around, the son would have to suffer through his Dad owning the room with his long, colorful stories. His Dad had time for others apparently, and the Dad had plenty of time to hear himself talk, but the Dad really never was a Dad to his son. The son grew to resent his Dad and quit speaking to him. But now Dad's dying, and it's time for the Final Visit.And that's where director Tim Burton works his magic. The Big Fish assembles an all-star cast that brings the Dad's stories to life. And the stories are colorful, flamboyant, and fun. You enjoy seeing them as the Dad recalls them for the final time.But Burton also starts working the true backgrounds for the stories into the movie, and starts working the son's reconciliation with his father - in the father's final days - into the movie. And in the ending, Tim Burton shows the viewer what the son learned in the end, about his Dad.... his Dad Was What He Was. He Couldn't Help It. His Dad really did some interesting things and helped a lot of people. And people loved him. Dad was The Big Fish. So the son finally accepted his Dad.Tim Burton really does a good job with this movie. It will be special to any son who has lost his Dad. A Dad that the son didn't fully know, that could be annoying, but who was a good man at heart and who was loved by many. Four Stars for Big Fish, arguably Five.

What a great story about the art of story-telling. This is the first review i have ever written, which shows how highly i rate this film. I have watched it a number of times now... and each time it gives you something new and leaves you satisfied. There is so much to this film that its hard to know where to begin. Firstly, it is pretty obvious that this is a bit of a departure for Tim Burton, being that it is not as dark as most of his other films. However, his quirkiness and eye for detail remain (his best qualities as a film-maker in my opinion) and together with a story that is driven by the narrative (again-rare for Burton-esque films) and a cast on top-form (esp. Danny DeVito & Albert Finney) he has put together a great great film, that really does have everything. It has lots of hilarious moments, a few scary moments, romantic moments, and some very sad and emotional moments. It is a story rooted in reality with a dose of fantasy combined with a dash of Burton brilliance.... to make it truly magical.This film reminds you of the power of story-telling. It tells you that it is a gift to have an active imagination and to use it to inspire others.Its just a shame it wasn't a commercial success. On the other hand, it doesn't surprise me...for a film to be a commercial success nowadays it has to either be; epic in some way; full of CGI; filmed in New Zealand; starring Tom Cruise.So, buy this film and make it into a commercial grower!Oh....it has a really great song over the end credits aswell.

Pratiquement tous les films de Tim Burton sont magnifiques,celui la ne fait pas exeption à la règle,je l'ai vue à sa sortie en salle et j'en avais gardé un exellent souvenir.Je possédait l'édition DVD très complète avec le film et des bonus très intéressants.Je l'ai donc racheté en bluray pour puvoir le revoir en HD 1080P,le transfert est de bonne qualité,contrairement au DVD qui avait quelques taches sur l'image ici en bluray les taches ont disparues,le master image a semble t'il été nettoyé mais, attention le film est encodé en MPEG-2 comme tous les films édités par Sony Colombia au début du format bluray,il n'y a plus de bonus à part une bande annonce et un commentaire audio,si vous avez le DVD,je vous conseille de le concerver,vous aurez le bluray pour le film en HD uniquement,un bon achat tout de mème pour ce film magnifique.

Tim Burton - Märchenerzähler: Batman, Batman II, Beetlejuice, Mars Attacks, Nightmare before Christmas, Edward mit den Scherenhänden, Sleepy Hollow. Das spricht schon für die Qualität eines Regisseurs, wenn man mehrere Filme spontan aufzählen kann und zudem noch die Handschrift einer im positiven Sinne kindlichen Phantasie erkennt."Big Fish" ist ganz anders und dennoch reiht sich sein neues Werk nahtlos in sein bisheriges Gesamtwerk ein.Ein Märchen, aber vor allem auch ein erwachsener Film - der Wunsch nach dem Wiederfinden "magischer Augen", die wir auf dem Weg zum Erwachsenen irgendwo verloren haben. Schauplatz ist diesmal weder Geisterstadt, Geisterschloss oder Gotham City...wir befinden uns im Amerika der Gegenwart. Bei der Durchschnittsfamilie, irgendwie in Liebe miteinander verbunden und dennoch durch einen Konflikt zwischen Vater und Sohn getrennt. Der Vater war schon immer, sehr zum Leidwesen des Sohns, eher der Märchenerzähler, der seine eigene Lebensgeschichte mit viel Phantasie und kaum glaubwürdigen Geschichten aufgepeppt hat - ein Riese als Freund, eine Phantasiestadt, eine Hexe, Held im Krieg etc. Ein Lügner ? Ein Aufschneider ? Seine Geschichten passen nicht in den durchschnittlichen Alltag. Aus der Perspektive des Sohns bekommen wir das Jägerlatein nacherzählt und entlarven den Vater auch ziemlich schnell als sympathischen aber unverbesserlichen Aufschneider, der nie sein wahres Ich preisgeben konnte und sich hinter überzogenenen und gar verlogenen Geschichten versteckt und aufgewertet hat.Der Film führt uns auf diese rationale Fährte, irgendwann bemerken wir, dass neben uns auch eine irrationale Linie folgt und immer mehr führt uns der Weg auf die andere "yellow brick road"...bis ans Finale. Dies hält einen glücksbringenden Moment für uns Zuschauer bereit, der, und ich möchte nicht allzu viel verraten, etwas ganz GROSSES in sich birgt.Ich hab mich nach dem Film sehr wohl gefühlt, er regt zum Nachdenken auf vielerlei Ebenen an, vor allem zieht er dem Tod den Stachel und sagt ja zum Leben und zu allem was dazugehört.Dieser Film, der anfänglich wie viele leicht sentimentale Hollywoodfilme daherkommt, fährt mit jeder Minute und das sehr leise einen ganz anderen Plan. Ich denke ich werde ihn ins DVD-Regal direkt neben "Ist das Leben nicht schön?" stellen.
