Big Fish - Der Zauber, der ein Leben zur Legende macht

Lights in the Dusk

Alongside his other great triumphs, Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood & Sweeney Todd, Big Fish finds Burton pushing for something more personal than his usual ironic reinvention. Finding a context for imaginative imagery through the story of a son connecting with his father's legacy of tall tales, Burton's film employs carnivalesque magical realism & southern gothic folklore to create a picaresque fable rife with emotion.

„It doesn’t always make sense and the most of it never happened.“ I have to admit that I love this film and that it is one of my Tim Burton favorites. The way Burton tells about the divergence of different views on reality and about the power of imagination is full of exceptional pictures and well supported by Danny Elfman’s score (although it’s not his best one).

I adore the parts with Ewan McGregor and his journey. Too bad the film keeps cutting back to a wasted Billy Crudup and a bored to death Albert Finney.

The ending is so predictable, and he can't create a feeling of relate with the characters... It's just a sunday afternoon movie.

"Has it ever occurred to you that maybe you're not too big? That maybe this place is just too small?" Exactly.

lesbeehonest. ewan, you're a total babe-- but kind of boring. i think its safe to say the general populous liked you better as a scrawny yet endearing heroin addict.

Tim Burton at his best. No need to say anymore....

"That was my father's final joke, I guess. 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."
