Big Fish:
Count me as one of those who did "enter" that moving movie! I guess I was in the right mood for it but I tend to enjoy the "weirdness" of Tim Burton's films -- Thought ED WOOD was terrific.
If one stays all through the whole Big Fish thing one is rewarded with one of the most emotional moments I've ever experienced; to me, all the strange things seen before do make some sense in the end, and the scene at the lake/river had me in tears. Well, I easily cry at movies, I must admit.
It is also quite obvious that Mr Burton is a man who has a deep love for the human species and this movie is a visual proof of that. It's flawed, definitely, but so darn moving.
The only objection I have though is why Jessica Lange is filmed so poorly. They managed to make her look plain!
That scene where she joins "Mr Scrooge" in the tub is so special.... And again, it all makes sense at the end; things look thrown in but the film is better thought than it looks at first!
I guess, i don't see as many films as you all do on a regular basis and that makes me a little less "critical" than most. Oh, and the acting is top-noch, in my humble opinion bien sûr!
Chedia meck... Hmmm, media check:
Only use my cd player:
Some Disney music from the CD On Demand Store on Disneyland's Main Street.

Little Night Music -- OBC, Melbourne Opera Cast, Studio Cast (TER/Jay)
and.... don't laugh!, How Now, Dow Jones?
All I can say is that everyone involved in this oeuvre sings with vigor and vim....
DR TCB; thank you for your sweet personal message to me!
I've read many articles that claimed that Brendan Fraser is also a very nice person in "real" life!
