Details: Product Description Throughout his life Edward Bloom (Ewan McGregor) has always been a man of big appetites, enormous passions and tall tales. In his later years, portrayed by five-time Best Actor Oscar(r) nominee Albert Finney (Best Actor in a Supporting Role, Erin Brockovich, 2000), he remains a huge mystery to his son, William (Billy Crudup). Now, to get to know the real man, Will begins piecing together a true picture of his father from flashbacks of his amazing adventures in this marvel of a movie. Amazon.ca True fable for adults, Big Fish: The Legend of the Big Fish, adapted from a novel by Daniel Wallace, once again proves that its author, Tim Burton ( The Nightmare before Christmas, Ed Wood), is one of the rare filmmakers to have known how to preserve the existence of a fantastic universe in the American cinematographic landscape. Called to the bedside of Ed, his sick father, the young William Bloom is determined to separate the true from the false in the stories that his father has always told about his life. How to believe, indeed, in these mythical legends where crossed witches, giants and Siamese cabaret singers? Deliberately plunging into the extraordinary by illustrating the fabulous stories of Ed, Tim Burton then puts his poetry and his fantasy at the service of a tale about imagination and transmission. Relying on the energy of Ewan McGregor (Ed young) and the sensitivity of Albert Finney (Ed old), the film also uses the talents of interpreters as endearing as Jessica Lange, Helena Bonham Carter, Danny DeVito, Steve Buscemi or Marion Cotillard. In a neat and inventive production, magnificently emphasizing all the epic dimension of its story, Big Fish: the legend of the big fish then appears as a film as enchanted as it is enchanting. – Helen Faradji.
