The life of fairy tales, the real life

Does it make more sense to watch such a movie on Father's Day?

When I heard about this movie before, I thought it was just a simple family warmth movie, but after watching it for 30 minutes, it made me feel that it was an imaginative movie similar to "Forrest Gump", but also a little bit "Alice The fantasy color of "Wandering in Wonderland": the witch who can see how she died through the magical glass eyeball, the giant who found her life in the circus, the small town poet who turned from a bank robber to a financial investor, and a wolfman at night The owner of the circus, the twin sisters of the "Siamese"... each role becomes the basis for a big fish that no one has ever caught.

The whole movie is carried out one after another in fairy tales, and the gap between father and son is relieved after the son gradually understands his father's life experience and understanding of his father. The last part of the film is very touching: in the jungle, every character who has appeared in his father's life comes to say goodbye to him, full of friendly and warm atmosphere.

Indeed, although life is short and ordinary, it has this unique life trajectory for each person. If you work hard to live this life, you will have no regrets in your life.

I like the sentence at the end of the film: The person who has told the story many times will eventually become someone else's story, and he will become immortal because of this.

this is life.

Big Fish quotes

  • Young Ed Bloom: There are some fish that cannot be caught. It's not that they're faster or stronger than other fish. They're just touched by something extra.

  • Will Bloom: A man tells his stories so many times that he becomes the stories. They live on after him, and in that way he becomes immortal.
