Stainboy visits his troubled past. Will, having heard these stories all his life, believes them to be lies and falls out with his father. Three years later, Edward is stricken with cancer, so Will and his pregnant French wife Josphine return to his childhood home in Alabama to spend time with his father. Edwards life is told through flashbacks, beginning with his encounter with a witch in his hometown, Ashton. She shows him his death but he reacts to it without fear. As he grows into adulthood, he finds his home too confining, and sets out into the world with a misunderstood giant, Karl, who has come to town with a traveling circus. Edward and Karl find a fork in the road and travel down separate paths. Edward follows a path through a swamp and discovers the secret town of Spectre, the cheery locals claiming he was expected. There, he befriends Ashton poet Norther Winslow and the mayors daughter Jenny. However, Edward leaves Spectre, unwilling to settle down but promises Jenny he will return. In the present day, Josphine speaks to the bed ridden Edward and asks him to tell her the story of how he met his wife Sandra, with Will listening outside the door. Returning to his reminisces, Edward reunites with Karl and they visit the Calloway Circus, where Edward falls in love with a beautiful woman. Karl and Edward get jobs in the circus where the ringmaster Amos Calloway reveals to Edward one detail about the woman at the end of every month. Three years later, Edward discovers that Amos is secretly a werewolf but shows no ill will towards his employer. Amos, upon returning to normal, reveals the woman is Sandra, and she attends Auburn University. Edward confesses his love to Sandra, but she declines his wedding proposal despite numerous romantic gestures. He then learns she is already engaged to Don Price, a fellow Ashton citizen. Don beats Edward in a fight, prompting Sandra to break off their engagement and marry Edward. Shortly after, Edward is conscripted into the army and sent to fight in the Korean War. He parachutes into the middle of a North Korean military show, steals important documents, and convinces Siamese twins Ping and Jing to help him go home in exchange for making them celebrities. Upon returning home, Edward becomes a travelling salesman and crosses paths with Winslow, unwittingly helping him rob a failing bank, inspiring the poet to work on Wall Street. In the present, Will investigates the truth behind his fathers tales and travels to Spectre. He meets an older Jenny, who explains that Edward rescued the town from bankruptcy and rebuilt it with help from his friends from Calloway Circus. Will suggests that Jenny had an affair with his father, but she reveals while she loved Edward, he remained loyal to Sandra. Will returns home but learns Edward has had a stroke and stays with him at the hospital. Edward wakes up but, unable to speak much, asks Will to narrate how his life ends. Though struggling, Will tells his father of their imagined daring escape from the hospital to the nearby lake, where everyone from Edwards past is there to see him off. Will takes Edward into the river, where he transforms into the giant catfish and swims away. A satisfied Edward dies, knowing Will finally understands his love for storytelling. At the funeral, Will and Josphine are surprised when all the people from Edwards stories come to the service, though each one is a slightly less fantastical version than described. Will, finally understanding his fathers love for life, passes on Edwards stories to his own son. Big Fish is about whats real and whats fantastic, whats true and whats not true, whats partially true and how, in the end, its all true. Tim Burton3The reconciliation of the father son relationship between Edward and William is the key theme in Big Fish. Novelist Daniel Wallaces interest in the theme of the father son relationship began with his own family. Wallace found the charming character of Edward Bloom similar to his father, who used charm to keep his distance from other people. In the film, Will believes Edward has never been honest with him because Edward creates extravagant myths about his past to hide himself, using storytelling as an avoidance mechanism. Edwards stories are filled with fairy tale characters a witch, mermaid, giant, and werewolf and places the circus, small towns, the mythological city of Spectre, all of which are classic images and archetypes. The quest motif propels both Edwards story and Wills attempt to get to the bottom of it. Wallace explains The fathers quest is to be a big fish in a big pond, and the sons quest is to see through his tall tales. Screenwriter John August identified with Wills character and adapted it after himself.

We were like strangers who knew each other very well. Wills description of his relationship with Edward closely resembled Augusts own relationship with his father. Burton also used the film to confront his thoughts and emotions concerning the death of his father in 2. My father had been ill for a while.

Brintnall observes how the father son relationship resolves itself at the end of the film. As Edward dies, Will finally lets go of his anger and begins to understand his father for the first time In a final gesture of love and comprehension, after a lifetime of despising his fathers stories and his father as story teller, Will finishes the story his father has begun, pulling together the themes, images and characters of his fathers storied life to blend reality and fantasy in act of communion and care.
