<strong>Title:</strong> Big Fish<br/>
<strong>Year:</strong> 2003<br/>
<strong>Director:</strong> Tim Burton<br/>
<strong>Plot:</strong> <a href="/players/P____83666/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Tim Burton</a> directs the fantasy drama Big Fish, based on the book Big Fish: A Novel of Mythic Proportions by Southern writer/illustrator <a href="/players/P___373497/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Daniel Wallace</a>. <a href="/players/P___223041/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Billy Crudup</a> plays William Bloom, a young man who never really knew his dying father, Edward (<a href="/players/P____23545/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Albert Finney</a>) outside of the tall tales he told about growing up, making his way, and meeting his mother (played as a young woman by <a href="/players/P___298145/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Alison Lohman</a> and in older age by <a href="/players/P____40447/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Jessica Lange</a>). During Edward's last days, William and his wife Josephine (<a href="/players/P___195575/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Marion Cotillard</a>) hold bedside vigil as the old man recollects elaborate memories of his youth (in which he is played by <a href="/players/P___196980/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Ewan McGregor</a>). Still doubting the the legends and folklore, William makes a journey to meet a mysterious woman (<a href="/players/P_____7266/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Helena Bonham Carter</a>) from whom Edward had bought property. <a href="/players/P_____9838/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Steve Buscemi</a> and Danny De Vito also star. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> I try to pretend Planet of the Apes never happened.  I had mixed feelings on the newer Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  I really like Gene Wilder's interpretation, and grew up watching that over and over, but I really did enjoy Depp's crazy and slightly off kilter interpretation of the role--perhaps truer to the book.  Its hard to beat out nostalgia. Definitely agree about Roald Dahl and Burton... just heard today that Burton has started to work on a film version of The Witches.  I can't wait to see how creepy it is. [quote user="csprague"] Big Fish is possibly one of my favorite movies of all time. i think it's beautifully made and the story is so imaginative, plus I can see a little bit of the tension Burton must have felt in his own life with the reality and fantasy.  I can say that I wasn't a huge fan of Planet of the Apes, I just didn't really enjoy it much, and I really loved the old ones. We used to watch marathons of them when i was a little kid.  But, I absolutely love the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I think Johnny Depp was hilarious and I enjoyed the world he made so much. I think Tim Burton and Roald Dahl were a match made in heaven. [/quote]<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> [quote user="seely"] ...I haven't really liked Burton's last few films.  I thoroughly enjoyed 'Big Fish', and thought perhaps it was a bit of a maturing in his filmmaking, away from the cartoon-ish qualities of a lot of his earlier film and more towards a magic-realism approach (though he always had elements of that).  However, everything since then has to me almost felt like a regression of sorts--Corpse Bride seemed a bit of a rehashing of Beetlejuice/Nightmare Before Christmas, and Sweeney Todd?  Well, I just plain didn't really care for it, though I thought the cast carried it through fairly well.  Maybe I'm just being over-critical?  Thoughts?

<strong>Body:</strong> This is a tough one...I can't think of a lot of romantic films I've seen, but I'll give it a shot. Across the Universe - I love the Beatles, I love sporadic singing, I love the 60's and I love Love.  It seemed a little "Higschool Musical Does the Sixties" at times, but I loved some of the cameos and cultural references of the era (despite not particularly liking Bono, I thought he did a fantastic job), and albeit sappy love story. Princess Bride - A classic.  I'm a closet fairy tale fan, and this is one of the best.  It turns the genre on its head a little, adds a lot of comedy and relies on some less-than-perfect characters with some glaring flaws to create a story that somehow still remains romantic. Say Anything - I'm always a fan of the daughter/son-likes-the-girl/guy-dad/mom-does-not films.  These seemed especially prevalent in the 80's, and I think SA is the shining example. SA edged out Valley Girl by a hair in this category for me, mostly because Nicolas Cage suffered a devastating setback in my mind after remaking Bangkok Dangerous (and it wasn't because the first was any good). Big Fish - I know its fictional, but its a powerful love story none-the-less.  You get to see the couple through their entire lives together, beginning to end, and how committed and how much they loved each other to the end.  Its ridiculously beautiful.  I can barely handle the end of the movie. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Maybe a bit out of place in this categorie, but I think it deserves a mention.  I think it highlights the idea that love wouldn't exist without pain, and gives us an appreciation of memories and past relationships.  Its better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. Bah, one short.  Wait! Once - Probably my favorite, because of a) the music, and b) the fact it does not end like most romances.  It is a beautiful and very innocent story, of a complicated friendship/romance.  Don't want to give too much away for those who haven't seen it, but it truly is a beautiful story of two people meeting exactly when they needed to.<br/>

I had to do some clicking and guessing around IMDB Max Schreck to Alexander Granach in Nosferatu Alexander Granach to Ingrid Bergman in For Whom the Bell Tolls Ingrid Bergman to Albert Finney in Murder on the Orient Express Albert Finney to Miley Cyrus in Big Fish [/quote]   I bow to theee Oh Wise One. I do like how we both used kick-ass European directors to connect ancient to modern. [/quote] The only movie I used with a European director was the very first one, Nosferatu.  It's really the actor Alexander Granach who is the main connection.  If you look at his list of credits, he apparently made the transition from old Germany to Golden Age Hollywood like a number of European directors did. [/quote]   My bad, I read Ingrid, but my mind proccessed Ingmar. I watched The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries this week so he's been on my mind.<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> [quote user="enaretea"] Big Fish: Scenes  between Billy Crudup and Albert Finney. My father had recently passed away from cancer and I knew the feeling of being an adult son sitting with  hisdying father.That movie really hits the mark with me as well...Albert Finney is pretty much playing my late grandpa in that movie.  My dad watched that and cried several times in the father son scenes, some of which are absolutely amazing.[/quote]<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> A brief, deliberately vague  review of &#39;The Nines&#39; I have always been interested in this philosophical concept, as well as Plato&#39;s &#39;Cave Parable, &#39;which has been worked into some of my most re-watched cinematic outings of the past few years (The Matrix, Fight Club, Old School -- OK, maybe not that last one).As a writer, I love the kind of Charlie Kauffman-lite vibe this film has going for it, much like &#39;Stranger Than Fiction,&#39; but I think much more complex.  Ryan Reynolds, who I know many are hot-and-cold over, really displays some heretofore untapped range in three separate roles. Hope Davis is always a welcome addition to any film, but --wow -- where did Melissa McCarthy come from? Have not seen an episode of Gilmore Girls, I suppose I am late to the game, but she is amazing in situations that must seem heart-breakingly true to life for her.John August, who previously wrote Go and is a frequent Tim Burton collaborator (Big Fish, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride), makes his debut as director and shows a real flair, working with three distinctly different styles, tones, film stock, etc. I have been purposefully vague about the plot, for I think that should be left for discussion. The best part of the film for me was not really knowing much about it going in. I have since discovered a few helpful theories behind things that I would be willing to share for those who found it as intriguing as I did, but was also hungry to dig deeper into the meaning of it.<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> An enjoyable, yet strange film that is not for everyone. Ewan McGregor was terrific and some of the visuals were stunning. While I do think this was a good film, I don&#39;t think that it rises to the level of award-winning film.<br/>
