The father who loves to brag, the son who loves the truth.
My father made up his own experience into a story of repeated speeches.
The son is already tired of these stories, and even thinks these stories are lies.
As his father was dying, the son finally told a story like his father.
However, not every director can be called Tim Burton.
The picture can be beautiful, and you can recall every moment mentioned without the need for pictures.
Let's talk about this "Big Fish".
Not an analysis, just some insights.

Remember when Edward's story stopped?
He is a fast-paced rugby player, a basketball player who wins and defeats the enemy, a brave and careful firefighting hero, and an invincible warrior who goes deep into the tiger's den.
He encountered a witch with glass eyes, a giant who ate an entire sheepfold, a circus owner who could turn into a werewolf, a pair of actors and sisters, a poet who robbed a bank, and, of course, the paradise-like Fengdu Town and Jenny as a child .
He met the love of his life, so he had the slides from the class, the daffodils in five states, the love statement drawn in the air by the plane.
Through unremitting efforts, he gave his family the life they wanted.
Wonderful stories, magnificent life.
Then one day he went back to Fengdu Town and rebuilt the place and also rebuilt Jenny's house.
He rejected Jenny.
The story of old Edward is over.
What we can also see is the legend told by Will at the end.
At this time, Will already knew that the giant was not that tall, the witch's eyes couldn't see death, and the actor sisters didn't fit together.
But the son finally turned his father into a big fish and returned to the river from which he came.
He was very relieved that his son's story was the destination he wanted.
The line "father and son" is just a superficial cover.
What emerges is a much deeper theme: life.

The carrier of life is: big fish.
Edward said he was always thirsty.
Goldfish don't grow very large in a fish tank, but they will grow quickly when they are replaced in a pond.
The circus owner told Edward that you are a big man in the country, a big fish in a pond, but you will drown in the sea.
On the day Will was born, Edward caught the big fish with the gold ring, but he asked for the gold ring and let the fish go.
Will did not speak to his father for three years, and when he was on the phone with his mother, there was footage of his father swimming in the pool wearing snorkeling gear.
When he was seriously ill, Edward was still spitting bubbles in the bathtub.
In Will's story, Edward gave the ring to his wife and swam away as a big fish.
In this way, it is probably not difficult to understand that Edward is this big fish.
He wants to have a colorful life.
But on the day his son was born, he chose to keep the ring and let the fish go.
That is, he chose to accept the bondage and exiled his freedom.
Buy a house with a white fence for the family rush.
But in his heart, he could never forget his dream of being a free big fish.
But he really has a good wife.
Will keep cleaning the pool for him.
Will hug him gently while he soaks in the tub.
In any occasion, his speech and manners are so elegant and decent.
So in his story, she was so destined to be irreplaceable.
I am willing to give up the whole ocean and curl up in your pond.
She still understands him.
So at the final funeral, she was the only one wearing a red coat.
The only reason that can make her not sad but happy is: at
this moment, he is free.

The one with the most metaphors in ambush is, of course, Fengdu Town.
This is the place where his dreams of life are hidden.
It appeared three times in total.
The first time he came, he was walking out of the town, thinking about the outside world and showing his ambition.
No amount of picturesque scenery, no amount of laughter can stop his determination.
So, the first time came early.
He doesn't want and won't stop for anyone.
So this place became a regret in his heart.
So he saw the big fish, left the keys, and left the shoes.
The second time I came, the town was dilapidated.
He bought the properties, but Jenny's was not sold to him.
He asked the giant to straighten the house.
Paint the walls and arrange the furniture yourself.
With Jenny's surprised eyes, we see a beautiful house with a white fence.
The furnishings in the house are carefully selected by him, and a coat rack must be carefully nailed.
I am convinced that this is the place he dreams of.
Then he rejected Jenny and never came back.
This story is told by Jenny.
Jenny said he was late because what was missed was what was missed.
is irreparable.
From then on, Edward stopped creating stories, only telling them.
The third time, Will found it.
Jenny does not deny her feelings for Edward.
It's just that Luo Hua is intentional and ruthless.
Now Jenny has become a witch in everyone's eyes.
The end is back to the beginning, an ingenious sense of fate.
This is Edward's life.
He also used to sing on horseback and sang softly.
There are those friends who have been with you for a lifetime, and there are feelings that have been missed and regretted.
But nothing is as important as his family and his wife and children.
He gave up his dream of being a big fish that no one could catch.
So, please don't look at these potbellied and aging men with contempt.
He is also a big fish.
For you, had to breathe on land with thin air.
