Big Fish
Big Fish is a 2003 movie directed by Tim Burton, starring Ewan McGregor, Albert Finney and Billy Crudup. It tells the fictional life story of Edward Bloom and his relationship to his son Will. Bloom is known for his tall tales, so the stories he tells about his life include many fantastic elements: a witch, a giant, a werewolf, and so on. They also portray Bloom as a lucky hero with few personal flaws. His son sets out to discover the real Edward Bloom.The movie is perhaps similar in style to Forrest Gump, with a likeable main character (the young Edward Bloom, played by McGregor) experiencing many humorous but improbable episodes. It is less gothic than some of Burton's other works such as Edward Scissorhands and Sleepy Hollow. The film has received four Golden Globe nominations.
