My all time favorite Movie: Big fish,
2003
frequency of relationship
Hello, I'm JinJin.
My native language is Korean, so my English might be a little different. Please
understand if there is anything wrong with grammar.
I tried to introduce my favorite
movie “Big Fish”. If I write specific synopsis,
it can be a spoiler. So, I’d like to write down a brief story also let
you know before the ending. If you just want to read my review, you could go
down below!
Let’s start!
Will Bloom has a
father who is a braggart. Will Bloom thinks his father Edward Bloom has never
been serious to him since he was born until became an adult.
For a son, the father's past story is a well-made illusion and a novel.

On Will Bloom’s wedding day, Father
Edward Bloom gives a congratulatory speech. The story is that used a special bait to pick up “the legendary big fish” no one couldn't
catch. After a fight with a giant fish, he took the bait
again and gave it to his wife.
Will Bloom is ashamed of his father for saying silly things in front of people on his wedding day. "Can't you be the main character in life?" Edward Bloom and Will Bloom become strangers who know each other well.
Meanwhile, Will Bloom got a call from his mom that dad is gravely ill. So, his pregnant wife and he went to his home. His dad starts to speak silly things again. But that silly talk pretty worked to daughter-in-law.

That stories are son has been heard more than a thousand times. Edward Bloom said absurd stories, such as the story of suddenly growing up as a child and lying down for more than three years, and the story of saving a village from a giant over 10 feet. Besides that, Edward Bloom told his son an anecdote with werewolves and Siamese twins, so Will Bloom couldn't believe him.
Among the incredible
stories, Edward Bloom is indeed in critical condition, and Will
Bloom still wants him to tell the truth even once before he dies.
(The ending of the movie is written
at the bottom.
It could be a spoiler for those who
haven't seen the movie yet.)
Will Bloom found out the documents that
can be a piece of evidence in his real story. At the end of the evidence, he
met a witch. A witch exists in reality.
The son asks for
help because he wants to know the truth before his father dies. The
witch told him everything she knew, and the son finally found out the truth
that he wanted to know so much.
He went home but no family was there.
So, he went to the hospital. His dad was about to die. He decides to care for
him while night time. A doctor who Edward
Bloom have known well came and asked: “Do you want to know the real story when you birth?”
The son who chasing the truth said
yes and he heard an ordinary story like the other facts. But the son gradually understands why the father was
bluffing.

Before the dad dies, he asked: “Do you know how I die?” That is quite in
contrast to the saying that he knows how to die. The son told the
story of how he dies. And the dad agreed with his story and dies.
The funeral day, the son notices that
all of the people in his story came. He wasn't
just a bluffer.

I only have a few friends. Not since childhood. Before, I could easily get along with anyone, but I
couldn't from the moment I felt I had grown up. To explain the reason, we can compare it to
'frequency'.
When I get to know
someone, I feel a sense of alienation if the frequency is not the same. (I am not an alien..) Although I have a very narrow-minded relationship,
there are people around me who have similar bonds.
What I thought
while watching this movie is also 'human relationships with frequencies.'
The only time when
the father and son were on the same frequency was when Will Bloom was young
when he thought his adventures were true.
Then why does the father keep sending the
different frequency to his son? Ironically,
it is because of his love for his son.
All the stories that the dad had
hidden were nothing special. On the day
his son was born, he was busy with his work and couldn't be with his wife
because he was a salesman.
The Siamese twins
didn't exist and the giant was just a little bigger than the average person. If
Edward Bloom had told the truth, Will Bloom would have passed by, but his
father's bluff made him strong memories.
The dad and the son’s frequency exactly match in the end when the son starts
to make loving stories for his dad. That was how to love between two people.
The moment their frequency accord
made me cry:(

The most memorable moment is the contrast between the dad and the circus leader.
While Edward Bloom lying in bed with growing pains for three years, he
learns in a dictionary that "Goldfish grow small in fishbowls, but if they
go to big places, they grow twice to four times bigger." He considers
himself a person who can potentially grow up by linking the contents of the
book to his growing pains.
The circus leader said “You might have been famous in your countryside pond, but
you will be dead in the ocean called the city” He undermined different person’s potential. To tell the truth, the circus master was a
wolf and tried to attach everyone. But then he became happy with a twig. He was
such a vulnerable beast. That is a piece of circumstantial evidence shows the
ungenerous people are lonely.
The person who believes his potential
can help himself and others. I’m going to succeed anyway. What's so big about helping people around? Love
yourself so that you can take care of others.
If you look
around, many people, including myself, regard themselves as nothing. But we may
be pretty good people than you think.
If you love yourself little by little, you can be a big fish.
Goldfish, let's be a big fish!
