{5\/5} “Now there comes a point when a reasonable man will swallow his pride and admit that he’s made a terrible mistake. The truth is, I was never a reasonable man.”<\/p>\n

Big Fish<\/strong>, released in 2003<\/p>\n

Edward Bloom has led a life filled with one fantastic thing after another — that is, if you believe his stories. His son doesn’t believe the stories and is tired of hearing them. Like the time he convinced a giant to leave town. Or when he stumbled across an entire town who went barefoot. Or when he worked for a circus for months in order to learn the name of the woman he would marry.<\/p>\n

This movie is filled with delightful scenes.<\/p>\n

It’s about stories, friendship, and love.<\/p>\n

Stars Albert Finney, Jessica Lange, Billy Crudup, and Marion Cotillard. Also stars Ewan McGregor, Alison Lohman, Helena Bonham Carter, Steve Buscemi, and Danny DeVito.<\/p>\n

Directed by Tim Burton (Miss Peregrine\u2019s Home for Peculiar Children<\/strong><\/a>). The gentle music is by Danny Elfman.<\/p>\n

This is the 3rd time I’ve seen it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
