Many years ago, the understanding of "Big Fish" was about reconciliation, about listening, and about the family relationship that blood is thicker than water. In fact, the connotation of the film is far from being so simple. The expression of the film covers the entire life course.

"Fengdu Town", where no one wears shoes, is a metaphor for the separation of the relaxed teenage life and the journey of adulthood; the circus is the crushing of the childhood circle and the carefree past by the real society; The best understanding of the pursuit of love is that it is down-to-earth love, there is no fancy place, only infatuation is exchanged for the truth; the son is obsessed with the process of rebuilding the dilapidated "Fengdu Town", which represents the life of the son and the father. Understand; "Fate" will always habitually torture people, which is surprising, "Witch" is a kind of spiritual release, but still follows the moral bottom line of "Fairy Tale"; "The characters appear one by one. It turns out that the "fairy tale" is the shadow of reality, occasionally disappearing, but never leaving.




No matter how old a child is, he is always his own child in front of his parents. The so-called "fairy tale" is actually a true, white lie. The difference between "Big Fish" and "Pan's Labyrinth" is that the "fairy tale" shown in the film is relaxed but not scary, gorgeous but not weird, sunny but not obscure. "Big fish" is life. The title says that he is the most difficult fish to catch in the whole river, because life is a one-way journey forward, and people can only control the choice of direction. The best ending is a calm and relieved , Farewell without regret. The final destination of the "big fish" is to return to the river, and the son finally completes the last "fairy tale" that his father never said. However, writing this, I am shocked that this film is still a film about understanding, about the love of family members. Regardless of life or time, it is actually an extension of the "fairy tale" condensed in family life. In their lifetime, these "fairy tales" can be stretched and expanded infinitely, and they are the colors that enrich life and make time more brilliant.

"He made me lie down in green pastures, and led me beside still waters; he revives my soul, and guides me in the path of righteousness for his name's sake. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, because You are with me, and I will have kindness and love to follow me all my life." The

world is a big dream, and my life has been cold in autumn several times. "Big Fish", went home.

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.
