A simple introduction to Big Fish
Big Fish is a beautiful story, charming, simple, flowing and very expressive movie. It talks about a troubled relationship between a son and his father, despite their love for each other, because of the father's always fabricated stories about events he lived in the past. The son did not believe his father and saw that he was exaggerating and adding some things to his stories, making them very inspiring and ideal as if they were written by a professional storyteller. This is what made him hate His father's stories, despite the love of many for him and his stories.
Big Fish is full of beautiful and touching events and characters, and it extends to wonderful places as well, and it makes you constantly wonder about the nature of your relationship with your family, and the way family members view you and vice versa, and it makes you accept the people closest to you with their advantages and disadvantages, even if their disadvantages are the ones floating on the surface.
The movie Big Fish also carries many symbols and a lot of inspiration, which takes us to think about our relationships with everyone, those we see and deal with daily, and others who pass through our lives for only a short moment, and gives us a lesson in winning people with different minds and characters, and this leaves a beloved impression of confidence and excellence, so Big Fish is considered one of the best movies ever.
Belief in your ability and capacity is one of the most important reasons for success in your life, and the lack of that belief may be the reason for your constant stumbling, and delaying the achievement of your goals or not achieving them at all, so anyone seeking success must first believe in his future destiny as if he sees it in front of him already, because that is the incentive for him to persevere and fight to achieve it actually.
Paths and choices
Life paths are your path that you will take, and walk on it until the end of your life, and these paths may be called by some fate, so we sometimes find people walking on a straight path, then suddenly change this straight path, to be surprised that his old path would have led him to injury, for example, or death, and his decision to change his path suddenly is what saved him, and this is what is called choice, and there is no explanation for this matter except that it is divine providence, so there is no logic or reason for your path to change suddenly.
Do you disagree with me on this or do you agree?
There are some people who study their path and choices well, then determine which path they will take, in order to avoid any mistake, and despite that it may be a wrong path, in which they are exposed to what may not occur to them.
The matter is not determined by a rule, we never know our destinies, because it is not a specific science that can be grasped or even predicted, but we as humans try as much as possible to improve our choices, in order to avoid a sudden event in our lives, that was not taken into account. As for our destinies that will inevitably happen to us, they are guarded by divine providence, and your wrong path may be saving you from another path that is much worse, so a person should never complain, but rather think, see and make sure of God's mercy on him and his life.
In the movie Big Fish, the young Ed Bloom, played by Ewan McGregor, does several things in his small town that make him stand out among his peers, and excel over many. His childhood was also special, full of adventure, and strange events that always followed him, as if fate chose him when he was born, among thousands, to live an unusual life like his peers, full of thriller, adventure, and strangeness.
Ed Bloom's young life included meeting karl the Giant, convincing him to leave his small town, then discovering the ideal and hidden city of Spectre, then the circus where he first saw the love of his life, Sandra, and working there for three years to learn everything about her, then going to military service and undergoing one of the difficult army missions, and meeting the conjoined twins, who helped him escape from the heart of the enemy barracks, then returning to his wife and lover Sandra, who thought he was dead, and starting to work as a traveling salesman, and the success he achieved in this work, and his constant travel to work in more than one place, and meeting the poet Norther who turned into a bank robber, and his indirect help to him, then passing through Spectre again, and saving it and its residents from being lost.
Every choice Ed Bloom made led him to his special destiny, despite the decisions contradicting the obvious logic, but he was a person born to fight for a better destiny, and to discover more places and people, his inevitable destiny was to live an extraordinary life, during which he provided everyone who knew him with help and love.
Ed Bloom neglects his young son Will, due to his constant travel for work, which causes a deep gap between them, which remained until his son decided to marry, and increased due to his exciting stories about his life and adventures, which were added to some effects and a slightly imaginary plot, which made them enjoyable to everyone who heard them, except for his son Will, who saw them as unreal, and that they were his father's way of attracting attention and interest to him.
There was nothing to bind Bloom's hand in this life, he lived his experiences and adventures everywhere he went, without being stopped by any restrictions, and he enjoyed it completely, as this was his special destiny in life, the only restriction that he did not break was his wife and lover Sandra.
Between reality and legend
Ed Bloom's stories about his life bring us a fictional and legendary part that can only be distinguished by its presence, and this is the case with any story, it must carry its distinctive character, which makes it enjoyable and immortal, and does not separate it from reality at the same time.
It also brings us symbols and characters that contributed to making Ed Bloom's distinctive destiny, as well as the messages sent through these stories, giving us a stimulating and abundant energy that fills us with the challenge, strength and determination necessary to win the battle of life.
And the biggest symbol here is represented in the name of the film, the big fish that you can never catch or control, not because of its size but because of its constant movement, and its lack of restriction or stability in one place.
Trying to fathom the truth
Will had to understand the truth about his father and his stories, and it was his last chance because of his father's severe illness, to understand from him before his last moment came, but there was difficulty in communicating with him, because his father insisted on the truth of his stories completely, and because Will accused him of lying in telling his stories, so he had to search for the truth himself, away from his father.
Will did not really know what he would reach in this search, and when he began his journey in search, he first went to the city of Spectre, and met Jenny who loved Ed Bloom, and she began to tell him the story of his father Ed with the city, and how he supported them and restored their city to them, from here Will began to understand and realize, and with his mother noting to him what happened to his father during the war, the dust almost cleared from before his eyes, to reveal the picture gradually.
As his father's condition worsened and he was taken to the hospital, his understanding of things was almost complete, and with Ed Bloom's last moments in this world, he asked Will to tell him the story of his end, and Will understood that he wanted a story in Ed's own style and perspective, so he began to tell it in the same distinctive way as his father, and he succeeded in doing so completely, to see great relief in his father's eyes, before he passed away.
At the funeral of the big fish Ed Bloom, everyone who loved him and loved his stories attended, even telling stories about him at his funeral, and thus the legend of Ed Bloom continues to live and never die.
Big Fish Messages
Being loved and respected in your city is very difficult, and to extend that to a large group of people you have met in your life is even more difficult, but it is the attitudes of a person that make that happen, and Ed Bloom's attitudes were brilliant with others, and his influence was amazing on everyone, through his ideal, ambitious and loving personality, so he became the big fish that is rarely found or seen.
Never give up, no matter the pressures, obstacles and difficulties, to achieve what you want, nothing comes easy when you want it, a person must work hard and even fight to achieve his dreams and endeavors, and not stand helpless at closed doors.
On your way to achieving your endeavors, do not forget your family, as they have an authentic and fixed right that cannot be ignored, and your children and wife are the natural extension of you in life, so do not marginalize them for the sake of your endeavors.
Stories are a great way to tell people about ourselves, and it's natural that they have some fictional parts, that's what makes them fun and engaging, and Big Fish was one of the most amazing stories I've ever seen, and I have so much admiration and appreciation for everything that was presented through this inspiring story for every human being.
