Big Fish & Begonia [DVD]

Basically the movie is kinda of mmm, ok, very long that I got myself sleepy, but it's ok to rest.About language I've got reserve: they don't care!Want to sell worldwide? English as an international language? YES.Subitle do not stand up to the movie.In the movie there are just two options: you listen carefully the audio or you read carefully the subtitle that are so different! They are not syncronized plus they are not the same, shorter and different. Just try!I bought movies in the past from amazon.co.uk shipping to Italy, and subtitle are always like the spoken language.For a foreigner like me who loves watching movies in the original language this is a terrible mistake, you can watch the movie in Mandarin but subtitles no, they won't give you emotions.Lucky people who have born in a country where English is everyday speak, so to speak.

I could not believe it when I watched the extras and discovered that this film took a decade to produce. That's incredible, it's just a pity that the film isn't. It is a lovely story and well crafted, and quite beautiful at times, but the length it took to create really shows in the pacing. The narrative moves along at what feels like a rushed pace, and it does take a couple of viewings to really get a grasp on what's happening from one minute to the next. This does not surprise me when you consider that its beginning and end, in terms of production, are several years apart, suffering from changes in staff and at one point a halt in production and near breakdown of the director. Many hands do not make a cogent narrative; it feels like there are too many stances going on, like the story direction is changing its mind suddenly to quickly move on to the next bit before anyone notices.

The story is touching, it is profound, well made and the drawings are also fantastic!

This anime film is Extraordinary and magical, visually plus the storyline is touching. 5*****!^^
