The so-called big fish

Today I watched "Big Fish", which I have always wanted to watch, and burst into tears.

The story is pretty simple. Family movie, a father who can make up a story and a son who no longer believes in him, three years of speechless (...think of "Hero"), finally reconciled at the last moment of their lives. This theme can be regarded as traditional, and it is basically the same as "Love Story", but the whole movie is brilliant because of the story of his father.

We don't know which part is real and which part is fabricated. Ghost Town seems to be fake, but the church where the funeral is held is real; the brothers in North Korea (laughs) seems to be fake, but the death notice is real; fishing with a ring is indeed fake, but we hope it is real. When I was watching a movie, the sheep came over twice. The second time was when my son was telling a story. She was surprised and said: "Are you still watching the same movie? How come it feels so different." Yes, When the camera turns to the story of the father and son, the original gray color suddenly becomes gorgeous, like the model city painted with color in "One Man Has A Little Color", angry and beautiful.

Many people say that this is the longest film by director Tim Bolton, and it is also an anti-style film. I haven’t seen his Batman, I’ve never seen Martians playing around on Earth, I’ve never seen Ed Woods (Damn it! I’ve seen them for sale! I just don’t know it’s Tim’s!), and I’ve never even seen Planet of the Apes. . As far as the first three works I have seen, "Edward Scissorhands" (Edward...), "Driftwood", and "The Nightmare Before Christmas", his style is really dark and weird, especially The latter two. Although I don’t know if his style is so-called Gothic (because the Gothic in the building is not like this...), but I really like the setting of "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (I thought I would describe it all with pen ......), "Guillotine Valley", the one who won the Oscar for Best Artist (or stage setting?), let alone... But I also like the scenery in "Big Fish", the ghost town full of light bulbs , The lawn full of yellow daffodils, I love you outlined in the sky, the singing and dancing on the Korean battlefield, the white sheets raised, the redecorated houses, the white fenced villas, although not special, they are very beautiful and fresh. fairy tale.

——Fairy Tale, everyone said so. Fairy tales, innocence, innocence, beautiful things, why are they only in childhood? Did they disappear when they grew up? At what age did it disappear?

I actually envy Edward. He seems to have been lying and fabricating his past, but this kind of life that people like him and he also finds interesting is not bad. Just like what the movie said: A man tells his stories so many times that he becomes the stories. And in that way, he becomes immortal.

    The twin sisters are not conjoined. The giant is not that tall. His mother wore a bright red coat at the funeral.

    A warm and gothic adult fairy tale. Big fish, ring, giant, mermaid, Siamese sisters, werewolf circus leader, poet who wrote 3 lines of poem in 12 years, seeing the dead witch glass eyes, shoes hanging on the clothesline, disordered Korean War, back Fengdu Town not to go. The moving ceremony of smiling farewell is like the end of the [underground] island carnival. Apply a layer of rainbow frosting to the boring life and the cold reality, and use a soft light filter. (9.0/10)

    Zacky Price (Age 10): She'll make soap out of you. That's what she does. She makes soap out of people.

  • Senior Ed Bloom: Most men, they'll tell you a story straight through. It won't be complicated, but it won't be interesting either.
