Big Fish (2003)

A visual departure from Burton's usual darker, or offset, color pallet. This is an unexpectedly bright fantasy drama. The narrative is essentially a collection of fables told from one man. All of them being fantastical tellings of his actual life events. The father/son relationship is poised as the emotional core of the film and it just doesn't hold. I found that the stories were entertaining in individual nature, but the collection doesn't connect at all with the dramatically mundane present day part of film. I enjoy the short doses of creativity and not much else.
