Synopsis:
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 (Albert Finney) has always been a teller
of tall-tales about his oversized life as a young man (Ewan 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 (Billy Crudup).
When his mother Sandra (Jessica 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.
