I just got back from 'Big Fish,' and I must say that it is easily one of the most touching and beautiful movies I've ever seen. Tim Burton has made a masterpiece in my eyes. I don't care if the movie does not win any Oscars, it's the best movie of 2003/2004.

This movie was my father. It really made me feel close to him in so many ways. I don't want to review the movie or talk about it's themes here, but I really felt that the movie could have been called 'Big Jim.' This movie was about the power of storytelling and my dad was the best storyteller I've ever met.

I have never openly wept in a theater before tonight. As the credits were rolling, I found it hard to hold back the tears, so they came out like open faucets. I hate crying in public so I made a dash for the car and had it out with them. I don't think I'd wept like this since early spring time, maybe sooner. I really needed this movie.

I highly recommend this movie to anyone and everyone. It is trully a treasure to me.
