      "Big Fish"--Big Fish Not As Good As YY

      Thornfield's speech is always so inattentive: "YY is the only motivation to live"; when it came to Tim Burton, it became the legendary opening remarks of Edward Bloom's beloved father-in fact, the meaning is the same, Thornfield is not without thought narcissistically.

      After watching the film, I...

      Falling into the dust net by mistake, 30 years have passed

      The contradiction between the son and the father is just a disguise, a clue. The protagonist of the film is the father, and the focus is on the man's life and his inner world.

      To a certain extent, you can see the contradiction between the son and the father as the contradiction between the ordinary reality and the dream that this man yearns for.

      Marriage, family, sons represent reality. He was a big fish, free in the river, with cool water, blue morning...

      "Big Fish" --- In the end, my father finally became a big fish

      There was a man whose parents had nailed many wooden boards to his room since he was a child, and there were only two slits left to see the outside world. But in the end, he filmed such a warm father-son affection in "Big Fish". This person is director Tim Burton.

      His works are alternative, funny, dark, and full of absurd imagination, but they can always deeply move people's hearts and touch people's...

      If all the lies were fairy tales...



      I remember that when I was about 20 years old, I bought "Andersen's Fairy Tales" translated by Ye Junjian, and for the first time felt that fairy tales should be written for adults. Because only adults can understand the tragic elements in fairy tales, and appreciate how this tragicness is enveloped and resolved by warmth, poetry and love, filling it with rich emotions and causing resonance in the soul.
      In a sense, all fairy tales are lies. These are the words that we believed in...

      When I'm facing people in my life who don't always believe, I always think of Big Fish, and I'm like, there's an end like that. Those people and things that you thought could not happen and could not exist in the world are so truly and naturally existing in this corner of the...

      In this world, it is only outside the people you love that you need to distinguish between the so-called true and false. There are so many things in life. The so-called truth may be the most boring and unacceptable. And those who paint the exterior of their lives with rainbow colors are worthy of respect and trust because of their...

      Why don't you care if it's true or not, if I want TRUTH or FANCY, of course I choose the latter. It's ironic enough, but fortunately it's not rough. It's also a rare tender work by TIM Daxian. EWAN is definitely a masterpiece. Undoubtedly, he is the most brilliant and the most powerful in the whole film. The part about the Chinese twin girls is very thunderous, and Kang Ma was originally here too, which was very unexpected and...

      As early as a few months ago, this movie was already put down by me, and I always wanted to watch it, but I always felt that the drama was very boring, and I never saw it. I watched it today, and at the end, I was inexplicably moved. If possible, I would like to give it another five...

    Movie plot

    Will ( Billy Crudup ) remembers that since childhood, his father Edward (Albert Nee) liked to talk about the many weird experiences he experienced when he was a traveling salesman in Alabama in his early years. The story, they are so bizarre, even Jr. Will often doubt their authenticity. He felt that he didn't understand his father at all, nor could he accept his strange words, which made the relationship between father and son...

    Positive reviews

    Tim Burton is a director with a distinctive style, and his works have unique labels. For example, I like to show festival scenes and often pay attention to people who are misunderstood and abandoned. Clowns often appear in the film. They like black humor. They have a mysterious style or supernatural phenomenon. The visual elements are unique and weird. They also like to use similar techniques in many films. Also appeared in "Big Fish"....

    Negative Evaluation of

    Even though the film has an exaggerated style, it still cannot conceal its weakness. The scriptwriter’s problem lies in compressing a highly detailed book into a movie, leaving only the plot frame, while the details are randomly intercepted scenes rather than complete stories, lacking suspense and coherence. The son's superficial image, lack of credibility and behavioral motives made the contradiction between father and son seem...
