噢。買。尬。
剛剛看到了第一篇關於 Big Fish 的影評，
如果這電影真的有如這個人寫得這麼好的話，
我是說，
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!
對於這樣的陣容我當然是有所期待啦
只是沒想到會 this good!!!!
此篇影評的筆者將 Big Fish 評為本年度最好的電影
他說，如果安東尼明波拉的 Cold Mountain
以及最後一部的魔戒鳥掉的話
根本可以直接把最佳影片頒給 Big Fish 啦～
老牌的 Albert Finney 跟 Jessica Lange 就不用說啦，
從 Ewan 到 Billy Crudup 到 Danny DeVito
甚至是導演 Tim Burton
此篇筆者皆認為，Big Fish 是他們的歷來最好的作品～
挖賽
這樣崇高的稱讚真是令人受寵若驚啊
看來電影公司這次是真的很有信心，所以才延後檔期
好加深奧斯卡評審的印象啊....
可是這樣台灣還要等到二月才看得到～～～～
天啊～～～～～～～
等不及啦～～～～！！！！
以下是影評全文

'Big Fish': The Movie to Beat in 2003
Tuesday, November 18, 2003
By Roger Friedman
Oscar Track for Jessica Lange's New Film
Tim Burton's "Big Fish" is the best movie I've seen in all of 2003.
If "Cold Mountain" and "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" don't
live up to expectations, I'm willing to say now that "Big Fish" is headed
for the Best Picture award. It will most definitely be nominated in that
category and many others.
What a pleasure to finally see a film that encompasses all the attributes
of a Best Picture. I was starting to fret that the group of candidates
already screened — including "Mystic River," "Master and Commander,"
"Seabiscuit," "Lost in Translation," "Mona Lisa Smile," "House of Sand
and Fog," "The Missing," "The Human Stain" — were going to be fighting
for awards they didn't quite deserve.
Not to say there's anything seriously wrong with any of them. They are all
well-made, entertaining films. But each of them is seriously flawed and not
quite "there." For mid-November, this isn't good news.
But then yesterday all that changed. I attended an afternoon screening of
"Big Fish," a film based on a short novel by Daniel Wallace currently
ranked at number 17,556 on amazon.com The movie had good buzz but had not
been over-hyped. I should have guessed that this would be a case similar
to "American Beauty" since the same team — Bruce Cohen and Dan Jinks —
produced it.
"Big Fish" comes from that sensibility of high drama, sharply drawn
characters, impeccable acting and — very importantly — a self contained
logic. "Big Fish" actually reminded me more of "The Cider House Rules" in
a way than "American Beauty." It's a whole piece of art, developed from a
single vision, and conveyed with that coherence. I loved it. So will you.
Albert Finney — a cinch for Best Supporting Actor, although it would be
great to see Sony/Columbia put him in for lead — plays a dying, eccentric
patriarch named Edward Bloom. Jessica Lange is his loving and understanding
wife, but Billy Crudup — also doing some of his best work ever — is his
doubting, critical son, Will.
What Crudup is critical of is Finney's penchant for fantasy and exaggeration.
He is not much for the father's lyrical sense of embroidery. And Finney,
in this movie, is a storyteller with no shame. His anecdotes, by now family
lore, weave themselves around carnivals, circuses, bank robberies, witches,
and giants. Will is so exasperated by Edward that when the movie begins he
hasn't spoken to him in three years.
Burton has made a lot of movies. Some of them were good ("Batman"), some
of them were great ("Beetlejuice"), some were exercises in excess ("Sleepy
Hollow"). Visually, he's always been arresting ("Edward Scissorhands"). But
nothing he's done before really indicated that he could make "Big Fish."
He cuts back and forth between Edward Bloom's present and his past, using
Ewan McGregor and Alison Lohman to play the younger versions of Finney and
Lange. All of the campy stuff that McGregor worked on in "Moulin Rouge!"
and "Down With Love" finally comes to fruition here; it's as if we had to
endure those performances to enjoy this one. He's extraordinary at last.
It's Burton's movie in the long-run, and he really surprises even the most
jaded viewer with "Big Fish." There are echoes of "Forrest Gump" certainly,
and "The Wizard of Oz." But they are just echoes. "Big Fish" also thrives
in the same area, coincidentally, as Denys Arcand's marvelous "Barbarian
Invasions," with its father-son conflict.
But these are just references within the shadows. "Big Fish" is its own c
reation. It's a four-hanky affair, so bring lots of Kleenex. My advice to
Sony is hold the house lights off well into the end credits so the wiping
of tears can go in private. There was sobbing at yesterday's screening. I
haven't seen tears like that since "Ordinary People."
I've mentioned the main cast, but I should tell you that there are also
very fine supporting turns by Steve Buscemi, Robert Guilliaume, Helena
Bonham Carter and, most importantly, Danny DeVito, who gets the role of
his life and runs with it. The only negative there is that you get to
see more of him than you ever wanted to, but after all, we're seasoned
pros, so we can take it.
"Big Fish" probably knocks "Seabiscuit," "House of Sand and Fog," and
"21 Grams" out of the big awards races simply because it is the premier
drama of the season. It also may do damage to "Mystic River," as "Big Fish"
gets the lump-in-the-throat payoff that the Clint Eastwood movie misses by
going on long past the moment when someone should have yelled "Cut!"
