Big Fish

Big Fish is Daniel Wallace’s novel appeared in 1998. The original title is Big Fish: to Novel of Mythic Proportions:  » a novel in the mythical proportions « .

I would like to talk to you about this book which was also adapted in a magnificent movie by Tim Burton. I have never red the book but I watched it last year with other classmate.

It is a fantasy movie, a comedy drama. Ewan McGregor is the central figure, he also played in the movie Frankenstein. His partner in these two movies is also Helena Bonham Carter!

Big fish is Edward Bloom’s story, a south America, at the end of his life, endowed to tell fantastic stories, who fell out with his son. He is going to tell his life of young adult to his son and his daughter-in-law, played by Marion Cotillard.

I like this story, which has a very beautiful morality, great actors and great director. If you haven’t seen it yet or not read, don’t wait longer!

  1. I like, also, this film very much! Particularly, the play of Helena Bonham Carter, who are so great as a witch! I aim at read this book, during the next holidays. I’ll have fun to notice the variance between the book and the film!

  2. Oh! I love the film ! This is a real masterpiece! I saw it last year with Mr. Charlette and honestly I have very fond memories!

  3. Big Fish is a very interesting film ! Helena Bonham Carter is a real good actress. In my opinion, her best interpretation is in Alice in Wonderland, directed by her husband, Tim Burton.
    Her interpretation in Harry Potter is exceptional too !

  4. I have seen this film last year with Mrs. Charlette & I liked it, especially the story that mixes reality and a dream world with a little bit magic and poetry.

  5. I have never seen this movie, but apparently many people seem to appreciate it! I will maybe look at it during the holidays if I have time!

  6. I keep a good memory of this film what I saw like Laura but I remind not really what happen. So I think it’s a good film to spend time without boring but no more (at last for me). It didn’t mark me.

  7. I agree with you, I like this story ! There are a beautiful morality, great actors and great director. I find that Helena Bonham Carter and Marion Cotillard are well actors.

  8. I loved this movie, it is interesting and intriguing at the same time. I recommend it as strongly.

  9. I saw the film of Tim Burton in English last year. I found carried out it very well and I liked it much!

  10. It’s a weird film, but it is quite interesting. I understand why everyone doesn’t like it, because, the first time I saw it, I was a bit puzzled.
