Difference of Big Fish

In the book, there were a lot of men who wanted to be in love with Sandra. Edward was one of the men, but he didn't do anything for a long time. However, in the film Edward saw the woman he's going to marry at the circus, but he lost her. So he worked as a circus member for three years and then went to Auburn to meet her. But she was engaged to Don Price.

The story of the book is more realistic than the film's. But I think Tim Burton, the director, made the film more interesting and funny. For example, when Edward met Sandra, time stops like they say when you meet the love of your life. I think that as the film was made by adding cinematics, we could feel the film is very interesting. I like it.

There are many differences between the book and the film;I'm going to talk about one difference.In the book we can see that the dog liked Edward.But,in the film there were no dogs,the dog was the girl who liked Edwaed.So,this make the film less realistic and this change was a bad idea.Because,it's hard to the looker to get this difference.In my opinion if the director does the same thing as the book,it will be more realistic.And,you can't know which story is the real one.

Differences of Big Fish

From the book, Edward Bloom left Ashland and arrived at a town which looked like a horrible, dark, and expansive place. If people wanted to leave here, the dog would get the people's fingers. When people urged Edward to stay here, the dog saved Edward from a crowd of people. Accordinng to the movie, Eward arrived at a town called Spectre where people were very nice and friendly. And the girl took Edward's shoes and hung them on the rope;that means he couldn't leave the town anymore. It is opposite of the book, which said the dog got people's fingers. I think the dog's biting the people's fingers made the plot look very bloody. So, the little girl replaced the dog, and made the plot brisker, not full of blood up. It is a good idea to make the movie lighter, not terrifying.

* differences between the book and the film *

There are many differences between thebook and thefilm. One of that movie displayed Don fighting with Edward at Sandra’s home, exactly in the middle of the yellow flowers in front of Sandra’s home; on the other hand, the book says Don had met him in the middle of a dusty street on the mountains and they were in the cars, but in the film there wasn’t any cars when Don was fighting Edward. In fact the difference between the book and the film makes the story heavier and at the same time it was less realistic, because some time the human being’s mind can’t believe this. The difference in the Big Fish book and film was a really bad idea, because sometimes it make confused. So I disagree with the difference between the book and film.

Interesting Part--Sandra Took Edward To Her Family

I found a difference about when Sandra took Edward to her family. That part was never showed by the film. In the book, Sandra got married first then told her father second. If this part was in the movie, I think that would be interesting. When parents hear their family member got married who didn’t invited them, they will feel very surprised and get very angry. When Sandra’s father meets Edward, Sandra’s father will be very angry and Edward will be happy in movie. Also, Sandra will be worried because her father and Edward are her favorite men. The frame will become interesting in the movie.

Big fish

This is a brand of fantasy that will not appeal to everybody, particularly sitting as it does cheek-by-jowl with a more serous story. This film does not argue for fantasy as some films do, but for tolerance for those who need fantasy to survive (by Mark Leeper)

Big fish is a real fantasy movie which is transcending time and place.

It's enough to stimulate our imagination.

The story is like and old tale and they also use computer graphics to make it more like reality.

The movie somtimes shows us present and at other times shos us the past.

A spectator would find it complicated but still could enjoy the complication.

Big Fish

Shannon Patrick Shllivan said that "Burton makes "Big Fish" succeed by making us eager to hear the next story, no matter how much of the telling has been stretched by Edward Bloom (in fact, that's part of the attraction)." Big Fish" is a joy from beginnig to end." agree with that reviewer. While I saw the movie, I looked forward to the story. That's because stories in "Big Fish" were almost all uncommon and curious, so that made me interested and excited. Although the stories were unbelievable, I wantedto watch the next stories. I could make a smile all the time when I saw the movie.

Big Fish

The movie is full of fabulous stories that Edward Bloom owned. According to Joe Loez's review “A big fish is a big fish.” Edward Bloom makes his story become much of a fantasy even if his son doesn’t believe his legend stories. But Edward Bloom knows he wants to make his life more plentiful for his family. Whether the stories are true of fake, the important thing means how to increase interest in your life.. In his tales, he wasn’t attracted by temptation. He was honesty to himself and told us that he had courage and was not threatened. Nowadays, people everyday are invariably trapped by temptation. I have to say that you have the ability to avoid many temptations. To be out of pollution, like Big Fish, if is a very important thing for everyone to think about.

Big Fish is hardly magic movie. That is a famous actor playing---Albert Finney. It is movie, though son has some misunderstanding but that was comprehensible I feel the movie very interesting but Shannon Patrick Sullivan say “too far one way or the other – too sappy, too bizarre, too inane.” I think, we need to relax when we see any movie. If we always use a serious manner watching a movie or in life we could feel anything is boring and monotonous. Finally, I look forward for movies ending. I guess that it will be a special and interesting end.

Mark R.Leepe said "Tim Burton directs this study of a troubled father-son relationship.The dying father's fairy tale stories of the significant events of his life have always been a major barrier between himself and his son".And,I agree with Mark R.Leepe.Because,the father just cares about himself and his stories.So,If the father just takes care of his life and gives attention to his son,the relationship between them will be better.

$ BIG FISH $

Big Fish.is one of the most interesting stories I have read during this year. In my opinion, this story is very helpful for English language students. The reason is it has a lot of vocabulary as best as another story. On the other hand, this story has many things I disagree with. This story was converted to a movie. However, the movie we see is kind of different form the story. So sometimes it makes a kind of confusion for beginner students of English in CESL classes. Also, most of this story is talking about fiction. In fact, the big fish story is still helpful in vocabulary and reading.

My Best Movies

“The day after tomorrow” so far is the best movie I have seen. I like this movie for many reasons. First this movie was talking about what can happen if there is some change in weather or if some thing is not normal in the freezing point. Second, the snow in this movie was very intensive and the people wear very shivery because the temperature was decreased more and more every day. The third thing is that it showed how the people tried to protect themselves and kept warm on this freezing day. Lastly this movie shows you how the city was on this terrible day, by sound and vision, so really it’s Avery expressive movie.IF YOU WANT TO WATCH THIS MOVIE click here.

Remember The Titans

Remember the Titans, this movie is about the first black football coach at a newly integrated high school in Alexandria, in 1971. Herman Boone, the new black football coach, displaced he white head coach and incurred the anger of white students and parents. Tentions run high between black and white players on the team. However, after training camp the team comes together and bonded together. The new friendships between the black and white players inspired white parents to open their mind to the black players and parents. They cheer his triumphant return home from a football game. I love ‘Remember the Titans’. This is the best football movie I ever seen. Remember the Titans is a phenomenal movie about racial prejudice and how a integrated high school football team can learn to get along. This movie makes me laugh, cry, and just say wow.

The Man In The Iron Mask

One of my favorite moves isThe Man In The Iron Mask, the.This movie talks about two twin brothers who are the sons of the king;no one knows about these two brothers except the king and his closest guards.Moreover,the king didn't want the brothers to fight over ruling the kingdom,so he sent the younger brother away to live outside the palace.Anyway,when the king dies,the older brother didn't want anybody to know about his younger brother so he ordered his closest guards to put his younger brother in jail and put an Iron mask on his face so no body will know him.Next,the older brother was a bad king and didn't care about anyone.So,the same closest guards who put the younger brother in jail decided to return him and put the older one jail.The plan succeeded and everybody lived a good life.
