This is such a beautiful movie. I've seen it so many times and never get sick of it. The end always makes me tear up

[@journeytrials]

Wow never heard of this movie before but after seeing this! Wow classic writing all over it! As a 80’s child how did I miss this??

[@katieann7903]

@@journeytrials it came out in 2003. definitely worth the watch. The summary doesn't do it justice. It's a beautiful movie

[@emremokoko]

Yeah, its a great movie. and "Man Discovers The Perfect Town But The Girls Are Too Young" is such a weird way to summarize it.

Same here, and I'm a grown man. Sitting here, again with watery eyes...

[@jasonpatterson8091]

It's strange how two people can view the same thing so differently. I 100% respect your opinion and am happy that you found something that was entertaining and meaningful to you. Honestly though, I've seen this movie three or four times and find it extremely disappointing and the "moral" of the film deeply flawed. Much like The Life of Pi, it seems to say that we shouldn't accept reality if it doesn't suit us, and should instead live in fantasy in order to make our lives what we wish they were. It's just sad to me.

[@miked9466]

My wife took me to see this when I was courting her and I really like this movie, it’s a wonderful story.

[@im.meghan]

Everytime someone uses "court" in this context, I also imagine their partner doing a curtsy.

[@black_horse_lover2655]

That’s so wonderful you courted her!

Like seeing each other in a court over a divorce

How the hell is THAT nonsense the title for a Big Fish review?? This fantastical, wholesome, heartwarming and heartbreaking epic profoundly conveys themes of love and fear, romanticism and reality, family, regret, forgiveness - and all the depths of the human experiece. Reducing this masterpiece to "if only the girls in this town were older" is legitimately insulting.

Reminds me a little of my grandfathers stories, and he had been a wandering hobo for three years in real life by choice.

[@likeorasgod]

Yah I got the chance to live with mine part of my HS years and after I got out of the military and he had so many stories he never told my dad. There might be a little bit big fish to some, but most of them where just funny great and sad stories of his life that I got the chance to experience. Now that my dad is the same age as he was I spend time with him and we talk about grandpa and add in our own stories of things we done over the years.

Its a sad but cheerful story... 'Big Fish'. Of course, your Vid did not do it justice. The voice was nice, but the music track was not right, for this tale.

One thing... we still want/need more.
