Description
Here to separate fact from fiction, the man from the myth, we’re back with a long overdue discussion of Big Fish, Tim Burton’s 2003 ode to fathers and sons. We peel back the layers of this Southern Gothic fairy tale to uncover truths - objective and symbolic - mythic antecedents, and even more questions. Some Irish mythology, some Homeric epic… plus, the door is open to a second discussion, diving deep into the distinctions between myth and folklore.
