Over time, it has become a cult classic among adults. Unlike Burton’s Edward Scissorhands (gothic romance) or The Nightmare Before Christmas (holiday horror), Big Fish is the film you show your parents. It has aged remarkably well because it rejects cynicism. In an era of grim, deconstructed superheroes, Big Fish dares to be earnest and sentimental.

When Edward is diagnosed with terminal cancer, William returns home with his pregnant wife, Joséphine (Marion Cotillard), for one last chance to connect with his father. William is desperate to separate the man from the myth, demanding the "truth" before it is too late. Edward, however, insists that the stories are the truth. big fish.movie
