In terms of expression, "Big Fish" is very similar to "Forrest Gump", full of legend and humor, and more importantly, the deep feelings hidden in the picture.
Judging from the script, the original book sold far ahead on Amazon.com. Ever since he was a child, his father Edward has liked to gushed about the many bizarre stories he experienced in his early years as a traveling salesman in Alabama. They were so bizarre that Will often doubted their authenticity and could not accept them. This made the relationship between father and son gradually estranged. He later chose to leave his chattering father. Three full years. It wasn't until his father was about to die that Will heard those legends again. An old witch who reveals the future in her eyes, an awkward giant, a ghost town, a circus trainer who turns into a werewolf in one night, and a "big fish" that no one can catch. A "big fish" healed the old distance between father and son. A therapy script that treats our missing fathers.
Judging from the cast, a veteran will hold up the sky. Ewan McGregor (will), who has already made too many exciting roles for the screen: English yuppie in Shallow Grave, decadent rebel in Trainspotting, Moulin Rouge "The infatuation and lingering in "Star Wars", the heroic perseverance in "Star Wars". We can't doubt his acting skills, all he needs is a good script, and "Big Fish" is undoubtedly a good opportunity for him. For Big Fish, McGregor brought his family from London to Alabama to make sure he was fully committed to filming. Jessica Lange has transformed from a vase when she first debuted into a powerful leader today. She has starred in "Francis", "Baby", "Cape Terror", and "The Postman Always Rings Twice" ", etc., was nominated for four Oscars, and won the best supporting actress ("Baby", 1983) and the best actress ("Blue Sky", 1995). Recent works include "One Thousand Mu Land" and "Auntie Belle".
From the director's point of view, it has the box office guarantee Tim Burton. In a way, Tim Burton can be called a master of visual arts, and in memory, none of his films are set in real reality. Before making his screen debut in 1985, "Pee-wee's Big Adventure," he worked in Disney's animation department, perhaps where he exercised his rich imagination and boundless creativity. "Edward Scissorhands", "Night in the Weird City", "The Martian Plays on Earth", "The Planet of the Apes", "Sleepy Hollow", a series of classic works have established his directorial characteristics: there is a pure soul in black , There is poignant sadness in humor, the grotesque can't hide the warmth of ordinary people, and the cruelty of reality is revealed in the dream world.
From the lens processing point of view, this is a very "traditional" film. It uses a lot of animation, long-range lenses and other special photography techniques, and abandons the current popular CG production technology. The advantage of this approach is that the effect is natural, especially it can make some of the scenes look larger, such as elephants The one: When young Edward Bloom got a job in the circus and felt a life full of love and hope, he was standing next to an elephant unloading. To recreate this stunning scene, the film was shot with a wide shot, where you see the butts of the two elephants and then Edward, who then unloads all the cargo around him. But it's no secret that animals are the hardest actors to control, and thankfully everything has been done, and this segment that will appear in the movie is done pretty well. Although Tim Burton likes to play fantasy, the images of Martians, Headless Horsemen, Scissorhands and Ape-Man are easily accepted by us, and the realization of all these depends on his intelligent dream-setting technology.
We look forward to meeting a urchin who loves to play with imagination.
We were moved when we came across a plot where the father and son's feelings overflowed.
I was moved because of my eternal Electra complex.
