A story about a son trying to learn more about his dying father by reliving stories his father told him about himself.

Based on the homonymous novel by Daniel Wallace, the Burton describes a son's attempt to understand the real life of his father. It is perhaps the most mainstream creation Burton maintained but quite surreal and 'magical' elements. Who else would give so vi... read more

In my opinion, it is probably the last great movie directed by Tim Burton, maybe his best one ever. I mean, he has made some good flicks afterwards but never as inspired and inspiring as this one. The first time I saw it, I thought it was pretty good. But I don't know why, the second time around, I thought it was just amazing and I was just blown away by the whole thing. The visuals, the directing... read more

Description: Big Fish twines in and out of the oversized stories of Edward Bloom, played as a young man by Ewan McGregor and as a dying father by Albert Finney. Edward's son Will (Billy Crudup) sits by his father's bedside, but has little patience with the old man's fables, because he feels these stories have kept him from knowing who his father r ... (more)

Movies That Made Me Cry (Oh So Slightly) (9 movies items)

"WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD The Story: Big Fish is the work of Tim Burton, before he was abducted by aliens and replaced with an otherworldly creature who doesn't know how to make a proper film. It's about the life of Edward Bloom, whose health is fading as he enters his old age. The Boohoo Moment: Ed is seconds away from passing, and his son at last gets into tune with his old man, telling a fantastical tale about how the curtain will fall in Ed's life. We then see Ed's funeral. For this 10 minut"
