Big fish is a movie i hate and love at the same time.
I love it because its a very moving story, emotional scenarios, the story of a mans life, as he lives it, and the amazing adventures he has. it touches on so many themes, it talks of effect a person can have on the world around them, and knowing who you are and where you came from.
I hate it for much the same reasons. it takes me to a place where i dont want to be. a place that i try to ignore as often as i can. I found myself all teary at the end of that movie. UNACCEPTABLE! :P I think it affects me becasue i see who i want to be in that main character of Edward Bloom. In the end... well i wont spoil it for those of you who havent seen it.. (i reckon everyone out there should!)
It reminds me that i only have a certain time on earth here, and that makes me want to make the most impact that i can. i think a quote from that movie went something like this:
"A man tells his story again and again, so many times that he becomes
the story. And so, when we retell the story the man gains immortality"
Now thats something i would aspire to! i want to make an impact on society. i want to make something of myself, because i have been given every opportunity to! does this make me selfish?
