Yesterday afternoon, I watched the movie "Big Fish" that I have always wanted to watch. After watching it, I felt that it would be more appropriate to write this review on Mother's Day. First of all, of course, we must say: Mom, happy holidays! The second thing I want to say is that the children of the world understand mothers far better than fathers. Often we don't know our father very much, and the movie "Big Fish" is the best film trying to understand our father.
I don’t know if everyone admired their own father when they were children, and believed that their father was an omnipotent god...
However, suddenly one day when we grew up, after we had our own ideas about this society, Finding that my father is not like ours, is not an omnipotent god, there are many things that I am puzzled by my father's actions, and sometimes I even find that my father is too different from what he originally thought, and there will be a sense of loss. , And sometimes even find that his father is old, and sometimes even complain about his father.
If you have this kind of thought, it means that you have not really tried to understand how difficult and difficult this man with the family burden on his shoulders is. No matter how hard it is, my father will always let you see his beautiful and strong side. When I was young, I might not understand these, but one day I would slowly understand. Sometimes I feel that understanding many things requires a process, a lot of time, and a long wait. Maybe some things are worth waiting for.
Let me talk about the main plot of the movie "Big Fish":
a seemingly talkative father, in every moment of his waking, tells many people his legendary and dreamlike experiences. It's like a romantic and thrilling fairy tale. At the beginning, his son was deeply attracted by the story, but when the child grew up, he stubbornly believed that his father’s experience was just a fictional story, and became increasingly unable to tolerate ubiquitous telling, so that the father-son relationship broke down in the end. Silent for several years, not contacting each other. However, it is worth the last moment when the father is dying, the son would rather believe in the legendary experience of his father's life, and continue to tell his immortal experience to his next generation, and let him continue. Life needs fairy tales.
In the film: When the old doctor told his son two versions about his birth,
The first type: because the father can't come to the delivery room to watch the child's birth because he is out of town. Even if they came, they couldn't come in because of the regulations at the time. This left my father a great regret.
The second type: In order to give a gift to the born child, the father used a wedding ring to fish in the big river. As a result, the ring was eaten by a big fish, and he took the wedding ring back from the big fish’s mouth. So he gave the ring to a son as a gift.
The old doctor said, these are two versions of your birth, which one would you choose? It’s me, I choose the latter...
Now I finally know why my parents would tell their children fairy tales when I was young, because my parents only know how to face the cold and cruel reality. He just uses the actual experience. Is it just an interpretation of innocent fairy tale language? It is a beautiful story that allows those who love him and those he loves to be immersed in it. How big a mind and calmness is needed for such an optimistic and warm act?
To be honest, I quite like Tim Burton’s series of works, such as "Edward Scissorhands", "Sweeney Todd", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", etc. The most important thing is that Johnny Depp is popular with Tim Burton. .
People who want to know the father can go to watch this movie. Finally, it ends with a sentence: Don't believe in the truth, believe in what you want to believe...
