Story: |
In the heartwarming film "Big Fish," director Tim Burton ("Batman," "Edward
Scissorhands") brings his inimitable imagination on a journey that delves
deep into a fabled relationship between a father and his son. Edward Bloom
(Finney) has always been a teller of tall-tales about his oversized life
as a young man (McGregor), when his wanderlust led him on an unlikely
journey from a small-town in Alabama, around the world, and back again.
His mythic exploits dart from the delightful to the delirious as he weaves
epic tales about giants, blizzards, a witch and conjoined-twin lounge
singers. With his larger-than-life stories, Bloom charms almost everyone
he encounters except for his estranged son Will (Crudup). When his mother
Sandra (Lange) tries to reunite them, Will must learn how to separate fact
from fiction as he comes to terms with his father's great feats and great
failings.
