About Big Fish

In the book Edward talks to the girl who takes a shower in the river, but in the movie he doesn't have any chance to talk to ger. I like this stage direction. This is more mysterious. We never see the girl's face. We don't know her appearances. But we have an empty image to imagine her ourself. I like this idea more. So i prefer the movie more.

Difference between movie and the book

I want to talk about the difference between movie and the book. In the movie, what got my attention is there wasn`t a lady whose name is Mrs.Rainwater. But in the book, this was totally different, there was a lady whose name is Mrs.Rainwater and also she was trying to buy the girdle. In my opinion this made the film, lighter and more fluid. If this scene would be in the film, it might`ve became long and boring.Finally this idea made the movie better. For me, I always prefer enjoyable and fluid movies.

The Difference Between Film & Book

There are many differences bet ween the film and the book. I will mention one slight different. Inthe witch and the glass eye story, Edward was a child, yet in the book, he was a college student. Although it seems not to e an important change, it controls the impression of the witch's story. This movie was created in a fairy tale style, so it should be fantastic and mysterious. If Edward were an adult in the story in the film, I would interpret this is as a horro story. I think it whould not be congenial to the film's style. In contrast, since children and witches are a royal road to fairly tales, the story in the film as the particular atmosphere of fairly tale.
