The film "Big Fish" directed by Hollywood film master Tim Burton shows us a bizarre life experience and a sad story of father and son re-identification, making us think about reality and dreams, and the diminishing and reunion of father and son affection.
Edward is a person who loves to tell stories. He is always chatting about his fantasy life to others, which aroused strong dissatisfaction from his son Will. Will thinks his father is a liar, he likes to show himself and never confess his true life to Will. For this reason, he had a big quarrel with his father, and the estrangement between father and son was irreconcilable and did not even speak for three years. It was not until his father became seriously ill that he took his wife home to visit and listened to his father's story again. After his wife’s appreciative comments on his father’s story and his own investigation of the truth, he finally understood his father’s original intention to beautify reality: reality is boring and gloomy. Only by proper beautification can life be kept full and full. Passion. Finally, at his father's funeral, when Will saw the prototype of the characters in his father's story with his own eyes, he finally realized his true identity with his father.
Why does Edward want to beautify reality? First of all, let's see what kind of beautification Edward has done to life. Edward imagined that his tall friend was a giant and was a disaster for the small town. He made friends with him through superb negotiation skills, changed his character, and made him his friend. In fact, the truth may be just a friend. The tall classmate is very lonely and people are afraid of him. Only Edward approached him and discovered the kindness in his heart.

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.
