All through his life Edward Bloom(Ewan McGregor) has at all times been a person of huge appetites, huge passions and tall tales. In his later years, portrayed by five-time Finest Actor Oscar nominee Albert Finney (Finest Actor in a Supporting Position, Erin Brockovich, 2000), he stays an enormous thriller to his son, William (Billy Crudup). Now, to get to know the actual man, Will begins piecing collectively a real image of his father from flashbacks of his wonderful adventures on this margel of a film.

This movie rules
Got it for like $6. Makes me cry every time. This is the 2nd review I wrote because the first one had too many profanities explaining how awesome this movie is & Amazon didn’t like that.

This movie is so fantastic and fantastical. It is such a beautiful story of the relationships we hold in life, and the beauty we can see…if we only look.

A Fun, Quirky, Sentimental Movie- from Tim Burton
If you miss your late father like I do, this movie will be special. Not because your late Dad was like the Dad in Big Fish, but because you realize the world lost a good man.I think the proper word for The Dad in Big Fish is a Fabulist? A guy that tells amazing stories? Well that’s what this Dad does. And all his stories are about his life and feature him. This Dad’s stories are fantastic and colorful, but you can sense his stories are grounded in facts that really happened in this man’s life.The trouble in Big Fish was that this Dad wasn’t really there for his son, as his son grew up. And when he was around, the son would have to suffer through his Dad owning the room with his long, colorful stories. His Dad had time for others apparently, and the Dad had plenty of time to hear himself talk, but the Dad really never was a Dad to his son. The son grew to resent his Dad and quit speaking to him. But now Dad’s dying, and it’s time for the Final Visit.And that’s where director Tim Burton works his magic. The Big Fish assembles an all-star cast that brings the Dad’s stories to life. And the stories are colorful, flamboyant, and fun. You enjoy seeing them as the Dad recalls them for the final time.But Burton also starts working the true backgrounds for the stories into the movie, and starts working the son’s reconciliation with his father – in the father’s final days – into the movie. And in the ending, Tim Burton shows the viewer what the son learned in the end, about his Dad…. his Dad Was What He Was. He Couldn’t Help It. His Dad really did some interesting things and helped a lot of people. And people loved him. Dad was The Big Fish. So the son finally accepted his Dad.Tim Burton really does a good job with this movie. It will be special to any son who has lost his Dad. A Dad that the son didn’t fully know, that could be annoying, but who was a good man at heart and who was loved by many. Four Stars for Big Fish, arguably Five.

Tall tales…or not?
In my opinion one of the best Tim Burton movies (there are several more as well). The blu-ray was shipped well and was in great shape. Glad to have added it to my collection.

Regisseur Tim Burton gehört wohl zu den wenigen Regisseuren, bei denen man ohne Bedenken den Kinosaal betreten kann, denn vielleicht mit Ausnahme von “Planet der Affen” hat uns Burton bisher nur mit Topfilmen beglückt. So gehört auch “Big Fish” zu einen dieser Filme, die um es in schlichten Worten auszudrücken: “einfach gelungen sind” und über die man noch lange nach dem Film nachdenken wird.Edward Bloom (Albert Finney/ Ewan McGregor) ist ein begnadeter Geschichtenerzähler, denn jeder in seinem Umfeld liebt seine übertriebenen, ja gar märchenhaften Erzählungen, die er laut seinen Angaben am eigenen Leibe erfahren hat. Nur seinem Sohn William (Billy Crudup) gehen diese Geschichten schon lange auf die Nerven und erst am Sterbebett seines Vaters ist William gewillt ihm zuzuhören und die unglaubliche, wahre (Lebens-)Geschichte von Edward Bloom zu erfahren…Alle Jahre wieder gibt es sie, diese Filme die einfach nur wunderschön erzählt sind. Wer schon Burtons Film “Edward mit den Scherenhänden” gemocht oder gar geliebt hat, der sollte unbedingt auch zu “Big Fish” greifen. Tim Burton erzählt die Geschichte von Edward Bloom ergreifend, witzig, skurril und mit so viel Herzblut, dass man selber ein wenig zu träumen anfängt. Dazu kommt die groÃe Detailverliebtheit und die klasse Besetzung, wie beispielsweise Jessica Lange, Danny DeVito, Alison Lohman oder Steve Buscemi. Einzig Billy Crudup wirkt manchmal ein wenig steif – das mag als William Bloom aber auch an seiner Rolle liegen.Fazit:”Big Fish – Der Zauber, der ein Leben zur Legende macht” ist ein wunderschönes, herzerwärmendes, kleines Meisterwerk, dass man sich ansehen und dabei einfach nur genieÃen kann. Die Blu-Ray ist über alle Zweifel erhaben und liefert dazu einen satten Ton und ein superscharfes Bild – volle 5 Sterne.

Pratiquement tous les films de Tim Burton sont magnifiques,celui la ne fait pas exeption à la règle,je l’ai vue à sa sortie en salle et j’en avais gardé un exellent souvenir.Je possédait l’édition DVD très complète avec le film et des bonus très intéressants.Je l’ai donc racheté en bluray pour puvoir le revoir en HD 1080P,le transfert est de bonne qualité,contrairement au DVD qui avait quelques taches sur l’image ici en bluray les taches ont disparues,le master image a semble t’il été nettoyé mais, attention le film est encodé en MPEG-2 comme tous les films édités par Sony Colombia au début du format bluray,il n’y a plus de bonus à part une bande annonce et un commentaire audio,si vous avez le DVD,je vous conseille de le concerver,vous aurez le bluray pour le film en HD uniquement,un bon achat tout de mème pour ce film magnifique.
