Big Fish

5 out of 5

 

 

This is another movie that made my emotions shake like

the washing machine.  Whatever man, sometimes it gets

that way.  What a good movie explaining all the chapters

of the game of life.  The movie about this guy visiting his

very very sick father.  His father is the man.  The guy

{Billy Cruddup} is always pissed that his father tells

crazy stories that are 43% true and 100% crazy. 

Everyone else loves the stories because they are really

good, but Billy Cruddup can't get over the fact that these

stories are not true.  He just can't.  At some points he

comes off as a hater, but all he has ever wanted was for

his father to tell him something straight up, so in a way

you can't blame him.  Ewan McGregor is a talented guy.

The old dad was really good too.  Marion Cotillard's

character stood out because she was supportive.  She

was not a liar or a snob, or a drug addict, and that made

the movie positive.  It is a touching movie for sure, and

in many emotional ways it is a classic.
