The English name of "Big Fish" is called "big fish", a very simple name. A thief was punished by a witch for stealing too much, who turned it into a big fish that lurked to the bottom of a lake. Even after making fish, the thief is still very cunning. No matter how high the fisherman is, he can only return without success. In the end, his father used the wedding ring as bait and caught the biggest fish he ever caught in his life.
This is an extremely romantic story, full of bizarre, psychedelic and magnificent. From the mouth of a father, but this is only the beginning of the adventure, and a strange world begins. After catching a big fish, his father set out from home, he met the witch everyone feared, and he marched side by side with the soaring giant. He went through all the fantastical things that a man can go through, and finally came back here, in a hospital bed.
I imagined that world countless times, the world of witches and spooky forests. The big fish that eats rings has swam through my mind more than once. I felt like I was at the bottom of the lake, watching the fish leisurely walk by. These are just the words of a father, a fairy tale for children. The son in the film expressed more than once that he no longer wanted to listen to these old-fashioned stories, and had doubts about his father, and even believed that he must have cheated at the beginning.
I have seen Mark Twain's evaluation of his father many times on different occasions. Generally speaking, he said that when he was young, he felt that his father was omnipotent, and when he was young, he felt that his father was useless. Only in middle age did he feel that his father was great. It was not until the end of the film that the male protagonist discovered the greatness of his father: his father won the best salesman for many years and supported his family. He did have an ambiguous past when he was young, but he resolutely chose to leave. When my father's funeral came to the city, a tall man really got out of the car, and a pair of almost identical twin sisters really appeared.... My father just romanticized his own experience and would give it to those around him. People listen and decorate their children's childhood with fairy tales that they weave, and he has done nothing wrong.
Another story in the film that I remembered for a long time, because my father saw his own death in the eyes of the witch, so in the following life, when faced with things that were even several times more terrifying than killing him, he was still calm. In the face, even though he was terminally ill, he still smiled and said to his son, this will not kill me. If a person knows why he is going to die, he will not be afraid of anything anymore. I felt an indescribable agitation and high spirits. It is a kind of frankness, a kind of open-mindedness, a kind of fearlessness that ignores everything.
When I saw the big fish six years ago, I have not seen any big fish again in the past six years, but the image of the big fish kept floating into my mind. Even if all the elements of the father are thrown away, only the stories he tells remain. A big fish that only eats jewelry, a giant walking side by side, a crazy circus, confessing to a beloved girl in a sea of flowers, like a myth, like a raving in a dream, almost every one is a rare good story .
This is really a good movie.
