My Favourite Things No. 8: Big Fish

Edward Bloom has told the same tale for his whole life. This time, its at his sons wedding. Will (the son) has hated his dad lying to him, and only telling stories-so much that he hasn't been able to trust him. But, without being able to stop him, Edward tells everyone of how he caught an enormous, uncatchable fish using his wedding ring as bait. This happened on the day Will was born. Father and son then fight, and don't talk again for 3 years.
Edward's health starts to go, so Will and his wife fly to Alabama so they can visit him. There, Edward tells of the many unimaginable stories that made up his life. As his life unravels for the final time, Will suddenly realises what his father was, all along, and understands who he really was.

OK, before I start, this movie features young Edward as Ewan McGregor (who is the main character). And i LOVE Ewan McGregor. One of my favourite actors ever! And the thing is, if I told all of the lovely, sweet, funny, even scary stories that you find out in the movie this post would be a million billion pages long, because they are just so fantastic. It really is the sweetest movie I have ever seen, its quirky and cute and sad and perfect and has love in it, awh! This move is so very perfect, I can't say how much you need to watch it.
