Tagliero, Big Fish is my favorite movie

   

Out of all the movies I have watched my favorite movie would have to be Big Fish. Big fish does not have any of the recurring themes that the usual Tim Burton film has. Such as, the main characters on a hill looking down on the town or city resembling . This film doesn't have the same idea of having the main characters being misunderstood and isolated from the rest of society. Instead of the misunderstood character being isolated from society and angry at society. The main character found different people a place in society and try to make everyone part of society. How Big Fish took death as a celebration of life, how mistakes that you have made can try to be changed with trying to loving everyone.

    The film itself is very powerful because how it relates with people, we all have seen someone dying and if you haven't then you are very fortunate. Once that person is dying everyone starts to think about the different memories they have with that person. The reflection on life of what you have done, who you have touched, hurt, and what was your impact on the world. We have one life and to use it to the best of our best ability. Which is what Ed Wood Senior did threw out his life, he didn't have to go save the town but, he did restore it. He helped the circus and worked their just to get information on a girl. He traveled out of his town because he knew he was able to do something better with his life. That their was something bigger out there for him to do.

    That is how I felt,not that I will go work on for a circus or go fix a town, just I felt I must have to leave Florida because their are bigger and greater things out in the world than what everyone at home thinks is important. I am one of those people that loves to go different places because they didn't really travel as a kid. Its not finding yourself as other people say but, finding what you want to do with your life and going after it. That is what Ed Wood did. Yes, much of his stories were exaggerated but, in the end the stories were true.    

   Ed Wood lived a life in full color. The original story might of been a boring everyday thing when he told it thought it just filled with such creativity and fantasy you wanted to believe it. Just wanted to believe everything he said because it played with the what is real and what isn't. Tim Burton I would have to say did a very good job with portraying the emotional turmoil between a father and son who just don't see eye to eye anymore. His portraying of child and parents fights was very accurate as the idea of dreaming of a life that Ed Wood lived.
