A great movie: Big Fish

Ewan McGregor starrer tale of a man's undying spirit.
The film is about a dying father and his son's wish of knowing him completely before it. It is about the strange relationship that every son shares with his father, the relation of being a role model, a person one looks up to. In this offbeat fantasy tale, the nuances are pretty loud, but one has to look underneath the colorful facade, where the director has shrewdly hidden the message he wants to put forth. It started as a drab, gaudy and even a childish movie but ended handsomely into a poem that touches so many facets of a man's undying spirit, his glories and the way he wants to convey them all to most importantly his son. It is the dream of every father to be known completely by his son so that he may know, that his father was something. Too many thoughts to be put here. See the movie and try to understand the various little messages symbolically hidden in the small gestures, smiles, words and depictions in the movie.
Definitely recommended for the people who have the will to go between and beyond the lines to decipher a wonderful message that conveys the relation a father shares with his son. The message that touches and links the son's life to that of his fathers legacy.
9 stars out of 10 for this unexpectedly great movie.
