I'm surprised no one has put up a Big Fish review yet (other than Wheeler's from sometime ago.) At any rate...
I really enjoyed the movie. It was funny; it was sweet; it was moving; it was inspiring; it was good.
I thought everything was well done and it all melded together nicely. It brought things to closure, yet left a little bit to make ya think. For example, the story about the day of the son's birth...in a way, it was true according to the father's perception. The basic theme was the idea of "things are how you see them." While there might not have been a literal fish and such, the story worked as a metaphor. The movie also bring to mind the the complexities of symbols and concepts, how words are symbols of something.
anyways. if you haven't seen it, see it when you get a chance.
