Big Fish
Tim Burton brings us yet another magical treat, but this one struck closer to home than anything he's done before. Let's put it this way: there's a lot more to relate to in a movie about a man trying to get to know his dying tall-tale-telling father than there is in, say, movies about apes, martians, Sleepy Hollow, grown men with scissor-like appendages, holidays gone wrong, and a quirky B-grade movie director. Big Fish is a gorgeous tale, and it damn near made me cry.
Go see it.
And, yes, there is a giant in the movie. He's played by Matthew McGory, who is reportedly 7'6" tall. In contrast, I stand at 7' tall. So if you've ever stood next to me, imagine me standing on cans of soup, and you'll get the idea.
( And just for the record, for those of you who have seen the movie.... )
