Big Fish is a fantasy comedic-drama directed by Tim Burton that stars Albert Finney, Ewan McGregor, Billy Crudup, and Jessica Lange in a tale of reconciliation between a dying father and his son. Edward Bloom (Albert Finney) was a traveling salesman from the Southern United States with a great gift for storytelling. Now confined to his deathbed, Edward will attempt to reconnect with his estranged son William Bloom (Billy Crudup). Now much older and with a family of his own, William isn't sure how to feel about his father. Edward wasn't around much since his job as a salesman caused him to travel a lot. All William had were his father's stories about all the great things he experienced on the road. Now with Edward's inevitable death, William will ask for his father to retell all the wonderful stories he used to hear as a kid, each time asking him if everything he was saying, actually happened. With each story from the old man's imagination, Tim Burton will take through a wild ride of unforgettable characters, experiences, and gorgeous imagery.moreless
