Synopsis: The film tells the legendary life of his father in a child's tone. Edward Bloom is an old man who likes to brag. He always likes to show off his experiences of traveling and selling when he was young. His son doesn't believe him. He thinks that his father is vain and grandiose, and the relationship between father and son is gradually alienated. It was not until his father died that his son decided to go back to see his father for the last time. He finally realized his father's passionate and imaginative life.
In the eyes of children, his father was an old man who liked to brag, but before he died, he found that everything his father said was true, with only a few modifications, and his father covered up the cruelty of the war with his own fantasy experience.
When I was a child, I heard my father's fantasy experience when he was young, but I felt beautiful and yearning. As I grew older, I walked out of the ivory tower and began to question my father in the face of social reality. How many people want to believe in fairy tales?
My father fell in love with his mother at first sight and he will never forget it. Afraid of knowing each other's engagement, he resolutely stood in a large daffodil and confessed to his mother. My mother said, "You don't know me yet." Father said, "I have known you all my life." This is a famous scene of this film, and it is also a very touching picture. Love itself is a kind of romance, and whether you like it or not is also a simple matter.
In my father's story, there are giants, witches, isolated mysterious towns, circuses, werewolves, vague and beautiful lovers and conjoined women. Once my son felt disgusted and helpless with them and found everyone when he left. It turns out that everyone is real, and all the fantasy colors are just to make up for the regrets at that time.
My father's story was once a utopia we yearned for, full of his tenderness and love. At his father's funeral, the prototype of the characters in his story appeared. They all exist, but giants are not that tall, conjoined women are just twins, and the head is not a werewolf. It's just that their respective characteristics were magnified by their father.
Although the film is great, it still makes people feel sad and helpless. The father weaves a fairy tale for his son, and the son dreams for his father.
