BIG FISH

A wonderfull movie, a long fairy-tale mixed with some realistic points. The hero 's father, a very outgoing and amicable person who have the tendency to embellish his life events with many imaginary and unrealistic details, is to die soon. So, his son tries the last attempt to learn his father 's real story , but this attempt seems to be vain, judging by the emotional gap between the two characters. Just some minutes before the end the real big fish of the story manage to return to the river and to become a legend. The plot is quick and full of changes and the dialogues are cleverly choosed. But, the most impressive was the film-direction (by Tim Burton). The photo below depicts the scene, when we are in love and we have the sense that time stops passing by. The actors, the animals, the music, the colours and the whole fantasy of the circus have stopped moving. The marvelest is that even the pop-corns keep soaring in the air...

An other point, that I want to keep in mind, is a phrase of the hero 's father. The exotic animals of the tropical forest in Australia, used to talk about everything, such as cinema, politics or economy, but never about religion. Because, when you discuss about religion, you can never know who 's gonna be touched. I think that this line applies to those people who find it easy to depreciate someone 's belief. Actually, we usually come across people who talk about god, just like they know everything, and I consider this subject to be touchy...
