Big Fish #7: A heartwarming tale



Summary:
The story revolves around a dying father and his son, who is trying to learn more about his dad by piecing tgether the stories he has gathered over the years. The son winds up re-creating his father's elusive life in a series of legends and myths inspired by the few facts he knows. Through these tales, the son begins to understand his father's great feats and his great failings.

Ewan plays young Edward Bloom, the father character in the tall-tale retellings of his young days.

It's based on the novel Big Fish: A Novel of Mythic Proportions which I would highly recommend. By all accounts I've heard, this film is going to be incredible. It's being directed by Tim Burton and co-stars Albert Finney (old Edward), Billy Crudup (William Bloom), Steve Buscemi, Danny DeVito, and others. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] Amazing cast, amazing story, and from what I've heard, and amazing screenplay.

basically. We need to figure out what time is good to watch the film since everyone lives in different areas.
