Watch Big Fish For Free

A different way of telling a story

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

This is one of my number favourite movie. It reminds me of myself. When you tell people over and over your story and somehow they think its not real- so you have to prove them what you told them. I love this movie.

And the best imagination how you could watch the story of your own life in a movie behind the eyes of a child. all time favourite since i have watched it for the first time. many more should be left as well... classic!

I remember back when this movie first came out and I mostly forgot about it after awhile. I love this movie because it reminded me so much of "Forrest Gump". Both are movies that feature a guy telling his life story, about how he fell in love and got the girl he wanted, how he fought in a war, and the strange ways he affected other people's lives. Like "Forrest Gump", the audiences like it more than the critics. I thought the title would be a metaphor for something. Instead, there really is a big fish featured in this movie!I didn't even recognize Ewan McGregor. He really is quite prolific. We get to see small bits from a lot of talented actors like Danny DeVito and Steve Buscemi. Why is Steve Buscemi in everything I've been watching lately? The setup is that a dying man is telling his son the story of his life. His son tries to figure out how much of his story is true.What's interesting is that most of the people he talks about meeting do in fact appear in the movie at the end. We do, however, still get no confirmation of the supernatural stuff he mentioned, like trees coming to life. I watched this because it's the favorite movie of Nostalgia Critic cast member, Tamara Chambers! This is probably my favorite Tim Burton movie. I love how everything builds up on itself and is all relevant in the end. Don't forget this one! ****

This film hasn't got the best beginning and the story does not flow as well as could, however I found the end was quite moving and thought provoking.
