Big Fish (2003)
My Rate: 5/5
Directed by: Tim Burton
Blend a little truth with lots of imagination and don't forget the love. This film is about that quote from Goethe in Faust intro.

It's the feeling of sitting beside an old timer who has seen the whole world and he starts to tell you his stories of the places he has visited the people he has dealt with and all of his experiences and you say wow how a man can know all of this about life?
Tim Burton as always has used his best fantasies and finest and funniest details to make you astound and absorbed to his film. I can't remind a second of being far from the movie, I just got stuck before my computer till the end with the film's marvelous fantasy and its narrative way. It's the story of a man who has always been to catch a big fish in the nearby river. That's not always that big fish, it's about all big fishes a man can get in his life, a big fish wife, being a hero from school to the frontline in the war, and back again in ordinary life, determined to overcome anything that doesn't let him feel good about life, there should be nothing annoying in his life. Then this man has a son and tells his life stories to him until he grows up and doubts in his father's fantastic stories.
