Big Fish (2003)

Big Fish, starring Albert Finney, Ewan McGregor and Billy Crudup is not about the adventures themselves, but the great stories than you can only bring home to tell from a crazy journey out in the big wide world. When Edward Bloom (Finney and McGregor) falls ill, his estranged son (Crudup) returns to his side, listening to him tell a fantastical, exaggerated version of his life story starting from his early childhood.

The life of Edward shows us not the joys of the adventures themselves, but the rewards of adventuring. Throughout our lives, we should follow in Edward’s footsteps and live life to the fullest, seeking a new adventure in each day. With each trip we take, there is always a story to be told when we return home. With that in mind, lovers of Big Fish feel compelled to get out there and find as many new stories as they can. Besides, it’s like Gandalf said in the Hobbit, “All good story deserves embellishment.”
