Wadsworth-Big Fish

In Big Fish Burton brings together the outgoing and very enthusiastic character Edward with charters that most people would consider outcast. This is very much so related to Burton's life. Burton always felt like an outcast. The feeling was there all the way throughout his childhood with his parents. In the movie Will gets very aggravated with his father at his wedding and tells his father he wants nothing to do with him and doesn't talk to him for three years. His father always made Will feel uncomfortable and Burton experienced this with his own father. 
At the end of the movie we see Will opening up to see why his father put lies into his stories. His father didn't do it to lie about everything just to make things seem more fun. He did it to make his life look more interesting.
When Burton was a child a lot of people saw his neighbor as a real life werewolf. Burton now knows that this made just didn't have his teeth because he was an old man, but Burton uses this to his advantage. Burton uses this same fear in children in one of the first scenes. Burton has young Edward go up to the witch that had an eye that showed how you would die. Burton made Edward make this woman a witch while in reality she was probably just some old lady with an eye patch. But as we see Edward likes to make things more interesting by telling little white lies. 

Burton has all these odd characters in his movie that would all be considered outcast and in the end they all come together for Edward's funeral. Everyone that Edward met along his journey were at the funeral. Now this is where we see that Edward did a lot of things when he was younger, but not everything he said was true. We see that the twins were real, but they were not connected to the waist. 
Burton is a strange and unusual character himself and likes to show this in his movies.But his movies come from a basis of truth. Burton made this movie around the same time his whole world was changing around him. His father had just past away and he was getting ready to have his first son. He put himself into both the father and son as characters and he also made the movie very rateable to anyone who has ever lost someone. Burton has never made a movie that is so bright and cheery as this one but all so something as emotional and deep.
