The Big Fish

I think there are many movies that I´ve seen and I´ve enjoyed very much. One of the movies that I liked the most was “The Big Fish”. This movie is directed by Tim Burton and is based on the novel: “Big Fish: A Novel of Mythic Proportions” written by Daniel Wallace. The mains characters are Edward Bloom, an old man who is about to die, and Will Bloom, his son who is going to meet with him after many years. The movie tells the history of a man (Edward Bloom) that was, for lot of years, telling stories that supposed to be moments of he lived, the distinctive of the stories was that he adding them fantastic characteristic. Strange characters and places were always presents on them, like a witch who could tell you the future through her glass eye, a giant, a werewolf, two girls that were conjoined twins, and many others.
His only son, skeptical that these histories actually happened was very angry with him because he was tired that his father was always laying about his life. Until he found out that his father actually lived many of the situations that he was telling, but just with the particularity that they were remember through the language of his father amazing creativity.
I think that I like this movie because it makes me think that our life is just how we are telling ours stories to ourselves, the moments that we actually lived are just the representations of the memories that are full of emotion and affectivity looked by the eyes of ourselves.
