After reading a work, I believe everyone’s horizons must have broadened a lot. Write a review to record the gains and efforts. Do you want to know how to write your review? The following is my collection of thoughts after watching the movie "Big Fish". You are welcome to read it. I hope you all like it. "Big Fish" movie review 1
I don’t remember watching this movie a few years ago. I recently rewatched it and when I got to the opening credits, I realized that I had even forgotten who the director was. Tim Burton, his movies, such as "Edward Scissorhands", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "Corpse Bride", and "The Nightmare Before Christmas", are all inadvertently humorous and creative, as well as a little bit fantasy and mystery. After watching it, the plot of the movie often comes to mind. It can be said that the movie is very impressive.
Overall, I feel that the narrative style and sequence of the movie are a bit like "Forrest Gump". Then I specifically looked at the year of production of the movie. It was 2004, which is completely later than "Forrest Gump". Ten years ago, but I don’t want to believe that the director is suspected of plagiarism. Maybe it’s a reference, maybe it’s because the hero has the same ideas, or maybe I’m too sensitive.
The protagonist's name is Edward Bloom. The elderly Ed is played by Albert Finney, who plays the role of the big-mouthed Julia Roberts in "Never Compromise" and plays the boss of the law firm where Julia Roberts works. Coincidentally, his name is also Ed in "Never Compromise", but his last name is Masry.
It all started with him telling his son a bedside story: Ed heard about a witch when he was a child. It was said that the witch had a glass ball of eyes, and people could look through that glass ball. He saw how he died with his own eyes, so little Ed and a few friends visited the witch. The witch was played by Helena Bonham Carter, the wife of director Tim Burton, who played "Red" in "Alice in Wonderland" She has appeared in "Queen Peach", "Fight Club", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2". She once voiced the heroine of "Corpse Bride" and should be the director's favorite actress. , the relationship should be comparable to that of Feng Xiaogang and Xu Fan in China. It is a foreign "husband and wife team".
Ed’s son grew up with bedside stories. As he grew up, he no longer liked these stories because he felt that his father’s narrative was exaggerated and he did not believe his father’s experiences. His legendary life, and after listening to it for many years, he was really tired of it. After a conflict, his son and Ed didn't see each other or even talk on the phone for two years. Until Ed fell on the hospital bed. He just took his wife home to take care of his father.
Ed, who has grown from youth to adulthood, is played by Ewan McGregor, the male protagonist of "Moulin Rouge". His wife is played by Marion Cotillard, a French actress who has performed well in "Taxi Express" and "Inception".
The story of Ed's youth to adulthood is also interspersed with it. Because he saw what he looked like when he died from the eyes of the witch, he dared to think and do everything.
His village was invaded by a "big monster". No one dared to drive away the unknown "monster". Ed stepped forward and found out that it was not the so-called "monster", but a big monster. Giant, Karl. After persuading Karl, he decided to explore the city with Karl. They came to a fork in the road and had two choices. One was the repaired road, which was fast, convenient and dangerous. However, Ed chose another road full of unknowns. He and Karl agreed on a meeting place and set off separately.
Ed came to a "paradise" place, where everyone was happy and happy. People who came would throw their shoes to high places and hang them up, which probably meant they would never leave again. Here, Ed touched As for the slightly famous poet, the poet is played by John Malkovich, who once played an extremely perverted and cold-blooded killer in "The Prison". Everyone welcomed Ed's arrival, and he was also treated politely by presumably the mayor's family. The mayor's wife was played by Missi Pyle, the mother of the chewing gum champion in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", but Ed did not stay. Instead, he chose to leave, but he regretted it because he chose to leave at night, because the paths at night are always a little scary.
He and Karl finally arrived in the city, and while he was watching a circus performance, he met the love of his life, Sandra. At the cost of working in the circus for free, he just wanted to know a little bit of information about the girl from his boss every month. Finally, the boss was moved by him and told him the girl's address. However, when he took the girl's favorite flower to express his love, he got the news that the girl was engaged.
Of course, they ended up together. After that, many stories happened, and a few words cannot express the essence of the film.
At the moment of Ed's death, his son completed the entire story for him and gave the story a happy ending. When the funeral was held, he saw all the people who appeared in the story.
When I first started watching it, I also doubted the authenticity of the stories Ed told. However, in the end, these were no longer important.
One of the scenes that impressed me the most was when the vicious circus dog pounced on Ed and bit him, his owner held a gun and wanted to kill the dog with tears in his eyes, and then Ed uses an unexpected but reasonable method to make vicious dogs docile, that is, "bit training." He threw a dry branch far away, and the vicious dog picked it up happily.
If I have to say what the movie taught me, I think it is to be brave. The protagonist Ed saw his own life in the witch, so he dared to challenge and face everything, so his life would be wonderful. Although I have never met a witch or seen the eyes of a glass ball, I also want to brave. Maybe when a person really faces it, he will find that maybe the situation is not as bad as he thought.
I hope so. "Big Fish" movie review 2
Another movie about the relationship between father and son. The difference is that the father and son in the movie are not about love or not, but about the son's love for his father. issues of trust.
When he was a child, Will liked to listen to his father telling stories about his own people. When he grew up, he felt that the stories his father told were not credible at all, so he did not talk to his father for many years, nor did he go home to watch them. he. It was not until his father Edward passed away that Will took his wife home for a visit. He began to understand his former father again, and gradually learned that the father in the story was not all made up. There were many things that Will did not understand. . My father is actually a very well-respected and good man who is willing to help others. He is also a devoted and devoted person to his mother. In the end, Will died for his father in the hospital.
Father and son are in conflict with each other. There is love and gap, but their souls are connected. Generally, a son had a good relationship with his father when he was a child. As the son grows older, the relationship between father and son will gradually become distant, and they may even feel that the places of interest are like familiar strangers. However, as the son grows up, matures, starts a family, marries a wife and has children, and as the father gradually gets older and talks less and less, the son will pay attention to his father again, become closer to his father again, and his care will gradually increase. In fact, father and son have always been pretending to each other in their hearts, but they are men of integrity who are unwilling to bow their heads easily to show their goodwill. It takes critical moments, such as life, old age, illness, death, natural disasters and man-made disasters, to demonstrate the responsibility and courage of father and son as men.
The relationship between my son and me, which had been hostile and indifferent since the divorce, has gradually become a little more relaxed. However, there is still little communication and intimacy, and we are far apart from each other. We are usually busy with our own affairs, and it is difficult to get together during the holidays. There may be reasons for deliberate avoidance, and there may also be reasons for things to happen by accident. After all, there is no desire or feeling to get together and go on a blind date, and the estrangement that is hard to explain on the surface still exists; it is just because of everyone's family affection and face, and what he learned about my divorce from his mother when he grew up. There will be some intellectual agreement, but emotionally one still cannot completely let go. Therefore, our current situation of neither close nor close, neither far nor distant may last for many years.
However, I am relieved. No matter how my son treats me, I have done what I should do in the past, and I have made arrangements for what I should do in the future; it doesn’t even matter what kind of family relationship he wants to maintain with me, how far or how close he wants to be. Men, if they don’t go through ups and downs, they won’t be successful; if they don’t suffer setbacks, they won’t be able to achieve anything; if you want to stand upright, if you want to achieve a career, if you want to be responsible for the people you care about, you need courage and perseverance, and perseverance. Keep working hard, no matter what the result is, just struggle through it. Thoughts after watching the movie "Big Fish" Part 3
Tonight, when I felt a little tired after working overtime, I unconsciously took out my tablet and looked for my favorite movie as a way to relax. I personally like to watch movies that can enlighten my mind and question my soul. The reason why some movies endure and become classics should be due to the most essential expression of the movie itself, which contains the perception and understanding of natural life and humanistic life.
I opened the movie "Big Fish". I had read the introduction before and it received high ratings, but I had never watched it before. It's quiet tonight, so I didn't wear headphones to reduce the sound from the movie, because I wanted to enjoy this unique visual art by myself.
"Big Fish" is the Chinese translation of this movie. Although the translation of this name is too straightforward and the expression is unpretentious, I didn't pay much attention to this movie at the beginning. I always felt that it The ratings given by everyone are far from satisfactory and did not meet my expectations. But as the storyline developed and until I watched the entire movie, I was deeply moved by the movie "Big Fish". I also agree that the title of the film with only two words "Big Fish" uses this dreamlike color to fully express the content of the film. The seemingly pale and simple words have become so powerful that they are enough to shake everyone. A person's heart.
The movie "Big Fish" tells the story of the legendary life of his father, Edward Bloom, and exaggerates the magic, metaphors and dreams that happened to his father in the movie.
In the first half of the movie, my father, Edward Bloom, half-lyed in bed, told a series of magical stories that happened to him. At first, I thought it was absurd, but the stories seemed to be connected more smoothly, but also I didn't feel bored, on the contrary, I was naturally attracted by those colorful fantasies.
Father Edward Bloom said that he had seen giants, heavy snowstorms, witches, conjoined singers in the hotel, and a "big fish" that no one could catch, etc... Although everyone Everyone admired him, but his son Will felt that his father was vain and exaggerated, and he was alienated from him. In the last period of the movie, his father really became seriously ill. During this process, his son Will, who had been cut off from his almost boastful and exaggerated father, obeyed his mother's wishes under his mother's repeated persuasion. Return to your father and accompany him through the last journey of his life. For three full years, Will avoided contact with his father. When Will and his wife returned to their hometown, Will saw his father again with a pale and haggard face, and listened to him repeatedly telling the legend of his youth. During the experience, Will now regretted his father's previous attitude. He realized that he really knew too little about his father.
As the father's condition in the film story becomes more and more serious, the son Will begins to truly approach his father's world at this moment. He carefully understands the real experiences experienced in his father's story. In the process of accompanying his father to communicate, his son Will carefully composed four different psychedelic stories based on the legendary experiences told by his father. In the process of weaving the story, his son Will truly felt the love for him released from his father, which filled his entire childhood.
The greatness of father's love can only be expressed in silence. His father Bloom finally won his son's respect and understanding at his deathbed. After watching "Big Fish", I was really moved beyond words. The movie "Big Fish" is too fantastic, until the son carries his father into the river, and the father becomes the big fish that no one can catch, as he often talks about, the fantasy of this movie is here Became real and convinced me that it was true, that everything my father, Edward Bloom, said was true.
By watching this movie, unspeakable things rippled through my mind, touching my soft heart, which made me realize the silent father's love. At the end of the movie, his son Will said: "Have you ever heard a joke so many times that you forgot why it was funny? But when you hear it again, suddenly it becomes Brand new. So you remember why you fell in love with it in the first place. Father Edward Bloom told the story of the big fish so many times that he became the big fish in the story. , the story still circulates, and he has become an immortal legend.
At the end of the movie, the strips that his father transformed jumped out of the water, full of vitality and unlimited freedom. In one dimension, his father has gone away. But in the stories passed down by our fathers, the big fish lives forever. The movie "Big Fish" allows people to see that the greatness of father's love also lies in the inheritance of father's love. Of course, it should be preserved for the people you love. Be more tolerant and understanding, and don’t understand it too late like the son Will in the movie. More importantly, we should learn to cherish, respect and trust the movie "Big Fish" 4
I liked the simplicity and innocence of Burton's "Edward Scissorhands", and thought "Big Fish" was not in this style, such a fantasy fairy tale, such an extraordinary life. But the moment I read it, I calmed down again, it was so complicated. What is revealed under the story is a simple and innocent heart like "Edward Scissorhands"
Not all fairy tales in the movie are true, but not all are false, just like his father. He said, “Most people are only satisfied with telling stories in a straightforward way, which is neither complex nor interesting. ”
How big a big fish is depends on what kind of space it is in.
In Edward’s childhood world, his father was the hero in fairy tales and the one who created legends. He met witches, giants, werewolves, twin sisters... He could breathe in water, and found paradise. In order to pursue his beloved girl, he could do things that ordinary people couldn't do, and even Edward's origin was portrayed as a fairy tale by his father. That day his father used a ring to catch the big fish that could not be caught, as if he was born extraordinary.
As Edward grew up, he no longer believed it. His father's story, but he slowly and inadvertently discovered that his father was not as full of lies and unfaithful to his mother as he thought. Many of the lies he thought his father had told him were not entirely false before his father's death. The father continues to write this fairy tale. At this moment, the size of the big fish depends on how big the child wants him to be. In the eyes of the child, the father is respected, and he is the legendary hero in the fairy tale. He is welcomed by everyone.
At the funeral, Edward discovered that many of the people his father mentioned appeared, but the twin sisters did not only have one pair of legs, there were also giants. Not that tall.
Maybe my father and the twin sisters had completed difficult tasks together, just like their escape in a fairy tale; maybe my father had given the poet some good advice, maybe the circus owner and his father had had conflicts and then they had let go of each other. Just like in the fairy tale, the boss turned into a werewolf, and after fighting, they can live in harmony with each other...
Big Fish is his father's story. It ends by saying that if he keeps telling stories, he will become a werewolf. the story itself. Therefore, Big Fish is actually his father. It can be the hero in the fairy tale in the father's own mouth, or it can be a person respected by everyone in the real world, it can also be the liar in Edward's eyes, or it can be the great father who is like a fairy tale hero in his final eyes. "Big Fish" Movie Review Part 5
I watched a movie in school today called "Big Fish", but there were not many fish scenes in the movie. Later I found out that the protagonist Compare yourself to a big fish. A father seemed to have had a colorful life. He was very happy to turn his legend into one bizarre story after another and give it to his son as a bedtime story. These stories accompany his son throughout his childhood, childhood, adolescence, and youth. Until the wedding ceremony, the father still repeats these annoying-sounding stories and still tells the story of his big fish that can never be caught. The son finally had enough, and they ended the wedding party with a quarrel. Since then, communication between father and son has stopped and they have never spoken again.
Until one day, her mother called her son to tell her that his father was seriously ill and was in the last days of his life. The son immediately rushed home with his wife. He suddenly realized the importance of his father in his heart, even though he had tried to escape.
Facing his frail father in the hospital bed, he was worried and puzzled, because even though his frail father had difficulty even eating, he still told him those weird stories. With doubts, the son decided to have a frank talk with his father. He honestly told his father what had been bothering him: You are an extremely hypocritical person, covering up your tracks with one absurd story after another. It seems that he has been doing shameful things behind his mother's back. The father was surprised that his son had this question. He told his son with certainty: Everything I said is true. Such persistence made his son helpless, but it inspired him to want to find out what happened. At this time, the mother asked her son to help organize the storage room at home, where many certificates of his father's life experiences were collected and preserved. , the wife gave her son a book, and the son began to read it slowly, and his father's life slowly unfolded in front of him...
In front of the hospital bed, the dying father asked Liu to stay vigil. The son continues his legendary story. At that moment, the son seemed to understand something, and he began to continue the last story of his father's life: a big fish. His father finally became the big fish that he had been chasing all his life, a big fish that no one had ever caught. Finally, my father closed his eyes peacefully!
At the funeral, the son saw the protagonists in his father’s story: the circus leader, the tall giant, the twin sisters, the poet of Happy Town... everyone recalled the details of his father’s life with affection. Bit by bit. The son's eyes looked at them with pride and admiration, but also with annoyance and regret...
