Big Fish

My friend ever introduced a fantastic film called Big Fish which is considered one of my favorite films. This film involves fantasy, adventure and love between father and son. The film Big Fish is directed by Tim Burton, from the novel “Big Fish: A Novel of Mythic Proportions” by Daniel Wallace.

This film is about conflict or love between father and son. First, the father, Ed Bloom, about how he comes to the world, how he travels the world and meets different kinds of people, how he finds his love of his life, and how he has his career and has his family. Second, the son, Will, actually he has a bad relationship with his father. He does not believe anything his father tells him. He just regards his father as a teller of tall tales.

To be honest, I believe that this film’s really aim is to show the relationship between father and son, between Ed Bloom and Will. No matter how unbelievable Ed’ adventures are, or how dangerous the trip is, or how funny the people he meets are, and hoe difficult for him to get his love. All he has done is just to let his son, Will, can be pride of his father. He wants to show his brave to Will, no matter when he is in the witch’s garden, and he says to the witch “I want to see how I gone to die”, and then he says “That’s how I go”, or when he in front of the giant’s cave, he says to Carl, the giant, “Come on,

you can eat me. And if you do not eat me, I won’t go back”, or he cross the frightened forest, and he says to himself, “The more difficult something can be, the mor e reward.”, or during the Korean War, he fights with solders.

For Will, he is really unwilling to accept those stories about his father. In his eye’s, his father is nothing but a teller of tall tales. And just because he can not put up with those funny stories, he moves away and has not talked with his father for 3 years. But latterly, he comes back when he finds his father is ill badly. And at that time, he begins to travel the place where his father traveled, such as the town of Spectre, little by little, he begins to trust his father and the relationship between his father and he is rebuilt. With the time pass on, he knows something that his father never told to him. He meets Jenny, the girl appeared in Ed’ stories. Jenny says “He comes here twice, first time he is too early, and the second time he is too late.” Then, she tells Will how much his father likes him, and she says “I was made believe, but you are the reality.” Finally, Will realizes that no matter what the truth is about his father’s adventures, there is one thing can not be changed, that is, his father, Ed Bloom, loves him very much. So, Will finds the love once be lost between his father and his again.
