The Big Fish

Synopsis: The film tells the legendary life of his father in a child's tone. Edward Bloom is an old man who likes to brag. He always likes to show off his experience of traveling and selling when he was young. His son doesn't believe him. He thinks his father is vain and grandiose, and the relationship between father and son is gradually alienated. It was not until his father died soon that his son decided to go back to see his father for the last time. He finally realized his father's passionate and imaginative life.

In children's eyes, his father is an old man who likes to brag, but before his death, he discovered that everything his father told was true, only slightly embellished, and his father used his fantastic experience to cover up the cruelty of the war at that time.

When I was a child, I heard my father's fantasy experience when he was young, but I felt beautiful and yearning. As I grew older, I walked out of the ivory tower and faced the reality of society and began to question my father. How many people want to believe in fairy tales?

My father fell in love with his mother at first sight, which he will never forget. Afraid of knowing that the other party was engaged, he resolutely stood in a large daffodil and confessed to his mother. My mother said, "You don't even know me." Father said, "I have known you all my life." Here is the famous scene of this film, and it is also a very touching picture. Love itself is a kind of romance, and whether you like it or not is also a simple matter.

In my father's story, there are giants, witches, mysterious towns isolated from the world, circuses, werewolf leaders, lovers with vague beauty, and conjoined women. Once my son was disgusted and helpless with them, he found everyone when he left. It turned out that everyone really existed, and all the fantasy colors were just to make up for the regrets at that time.

My father's story was once a utopia that we yearned for. It was full of his tenderness and love. At my father's funeral, the prototypes of the people in my father's story came. They were all real, but the giant was not that tall, the conjoined woman was just a twin, and the leader was not a werewolf. It's just that their respective characteristics were magnified by their father.

Although this movie is fantastic, it still feels sad and helpless. The father weaves a fairy tale for his son, and the son makes a dream for his father.
