Enter a world of imagination…the imagination of a master storyteller.

In truth, this film stems from the imagination of many,
but primarily the original novel author: Daniel Wallace,
the screenwriter who adapted the novel: John August,
& the director who brought it to life on screen: Tim Burton.

If you’ve seen other films by Tim Burton (Edward Scissorhands, Nightmare before Christmas, etc.),
you may notice his style in this film. However, I think he ventures into new areas in this film,
probaby because he is not the screenwriter. What results is a unique collaboration
and a film overflowing with old and new interesting ideas.

At the heart of the film, it is a story of father and son.
The previous two films I recommended dealt more with
the relationship of mother and child, and husband and wife.
In this film, we follow the “story” of  a father & husband: Edward Bloom.
His life story is made up of many stories, all of them capable of filling an entire book themselves.
In this way, his life is like our life.
There are over a hundred big and little stories for every human being.
And these stories live on, often longer than we do;
with stories as numerous as the stars in the sky.
