In
the heartwarming film Big Fish, director Tim
Burton (Batman ,Edward Scissorhands ) brings
his inimitable imagination on a journey that delves deep
into a fabled relationship between a father and his son.
Edward Bloom (Albert Finney) has always been a teller
of tall-tales about his oversized life as a young man
(Ewan McGregor), when his wanderlust led him on an unlikely
journey from a small-town in Alabama, around the world,
and back again. His mythic exploits dart from the delightful
to the delirious as he weaves epic tales about giants,
blizzards, a witch and conjoined-twin lounge singers.
With his larger-than-life stories, Bloom charms almost
everyone he encounters except for his estranged son Will
(Billy Crudup). When his mother Sandra (Jessica Lange)
tries to reunite them, Will must learn how to separate
fact from fiction as he comes to terms with his father’s
great feats and great failings.
