In fact, the first few minutes were meant to explain one thing, the father's character, the stories his father always liked to tell, and the transformation of his son from childhood to adulthood.

Although it is unremarkable, it is crucial and important.

Because this is where the story begins.

Although there were some doubts about how the story would unfold, everyone continued to watch the big screen quietly.

On the big screen, Edward did not notice his son's departure, and he was still there telling the story.

Edward said: "Perhaps you may ask, since the fish lady is not the soul of the thief, why does she have a soft spot for gold?"

At this time, the camera zoomed in to give a close-up of his hand. He held up his wedding ring and said, "This is the revelation I received on the day my son was born."

He was talking about Sandra, and this story is about her.

Edward looked at his wife again and said: "Sometimes, the only way to trap an unpredictable woman is to put a wedding ring on her."

His words made the guests laugh.

At this time, Edward motioned to his wife Sandra to come to his side. Sandra was still radiant, and it was not difficult for the moviegoers to see that even though they had been married for thirty years, the two were still as loving as ever.

They kissed, and Edward pinched her chin in a unique way.

The guests applauded them again, dedicated to this loving couple.

Edward toasted the newlyweds, and his daughter-in-law Josephine was smiling brightly. She cleverly concealed her husband's absence.

Edward raised his champagne glass and drank it in one gulp.

In fact, this is the biggest difference between North America and China. In China, it is almost impossible for such a situation to happen at a wedding, with the groom leaving early.

But here, it is very sparse and ordinary.

The camera switched again, showing Edward and Will arguing fiercely on the roadside outside the restaurant, occasionally attracting the attention of passers-by. Both of them looked a little drunk.

Edward said with some dissatisfaction: "What, you are not allowed to talk about your son?"

Will looked doubtful and said: "In that story, I am just a footnote. I am the background of your great adventure story, but your great adventure story never happened. By the way, you were in Wych on the day I was born.

They are using the market to open up small businesses."

Edward shook his head and looked at his son and exclaimed: "Oh my God! Come on, Will, everyone loves to hear this story."

Will shook his head: "No, Dad, others don't like to hear it. I don't like to hear it either. I've heard this story a thousand times. I know all the witty words and can tell it as vividly as you."

"Just one night, just one night in your life, to stop the world from revolving around Edward Bloom and make it revolve around me and my wife. Why don't you understand?"

Edward whispered: "I'm sorry for embarrassing you."

Will interrupted: "You're embarrassing yourself, Dad, you just don't know it."

Edward waved his hand and walked away looking a little frustrated.

And Will was still angry.

Will's voiceover sounded: "After that night, I didn't speak to my father for several years."

Seeing this scene, many people stood on the side of their son Will. After all, they could not imagine that such a father would still act like that at his son's wedding. Just as Will said, it was not to embarrass him.

Instead, his father would be embarrassed.

But they could ask themselves if they had such a father, would they be like Will, right?

But this made them even more confused, what kind of story was this going to tell?

Because it still leaves them confused so far.

The movie continues.

Will works at the Associated Press, and it's a busy day as usual. Will puts the phone under his ear and clears a pile of letters on the table with both hands.

Will listened to the call: "Will Bloom of the Associated Press, if I could..."

He found a letter, the name and address on the envelope were handwritten, and he tore open the envelope.

Will's voice sounded: "I don't have direct contact with my father. Letters and Christmas cards are all written by my mother."

On the other side, in the Bloom family's kitchen, at the dining table, Sandra was listening on the phone and Edward was making sandwiches.

Will's voice rang again: "When I called home, Mom always said Dad was out driving or swimming."

In fact, Edward sat down at the table and started eating his sandwich.

Will's voiceover continues: "On the surface, we never said we wouldn't talk anymore."

At night, Sandra stood in the room looking at the swimming pool outside the window. Edward was swimming. Will's voice sounded again: "In fact, I can't see my shadow in my father, and I don't think he can see it in me either."

I can see his shadow. The two of us are like the most familiar strangers."

The camera fades and switches again, this time outdoors, on a river.

Edward stared at the water intently, like a lion preparing to hunt.

Will's dictation continued: "In order to tell the story of my father's life, it is impossible to completely separate fact from fiction, man from myth. The best way is to repeat what he said exactly."

The camera looked down at the water, with Edward's shadow reflected on the dark water. As the ripples on the water rippled in circles, things began to change.

When the camera moved up again, the young Edward Bloom appeared on the big screen. The subtitles showed his age at this moment, which was 20 years old. He was staring at the river. Young.

Edward is quite handsome and unruly.

Will continued: "Not all of these stories make sense, and most of them never even happened. But that's the story!"

At this moment, the young Edward was suddenly lifting the fishing rod, and the camera panned to the bottom of the water. It was a big fish that was struggling non-stop.

Edward suddenly put his hands into the water and caught the "beast". He raised the big catfish in front of him and looked directly into the fish's eyes.

The "Beast" spit out Edward's gold ring. Edward smiled, took the ring, and then threw the "Beast" into the water, causing a splash on the water.

He took it and didn't forget to thank the big fish: "Thank you!"

The title appears on the big screen: "Big Fish!"

It can be said that the previous scene, although not boring, is not exciting either. It even made many people a little confused and did not understand what kind of story this movie was going to tell.

The movie officially enters the plot.

This time it was in the delivery room of the hospital, where a young doctor was delivering Mrs. Bloom's baby. She was nervous and sweating, and Dr. Bennett kept comforting her beside her.

Dr. Bennett: "Mrs. Bloom, try harder!"

Suddenly, there was a "pop" sound, and a little man with a slippery body like a fish was launched like a rocket. Before Dr. Bennett could hold him tightly, he was already launched into the air.

The nurses and Mr. Bloom tried to catch the baby, but no one could. The newborn flew toward the camera, allowing the audience to see the smile on his face.

The little guy fell to the ground, knocked over a tray and then slid out the door, with everyone chasing him.

This paragraph left everyone stunned, and at this time, Will's narration sounded at the right time: "My father's birth set the tone for his legendary life. Although his life was not longer than others, it was richer.

.Although his stories are a bit strange, the ending is always the most unexpected."

Dr. Bennett yelled, "Get the kid!"

A nurse finally hugged him, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone understands that this should be the story of his magical birth told by Edward, but it is told through the mouth of his son Will.

It’s really fantastic!

The camera switched again, and along with the sound of rain in Zhejiang, the phone rang. Through the tone of the ringtone, it was a continuous sound unique to Europe, allowing everyone to clearly judge that they were not in North America at this moment.

The phone continued to ring. Looking around the room, the camera showed that the room was almost empty, except for a few boxes that had not yet been packed. A newly purchased cradle had not yet been unpacked.

There was laughter in the corridor outside the house, the door was opened, Will walked in, soaked to the skin, carrying four bags of groceries, and his wife Josephine ran into the house to answer the phone.

Josephine: "Hello!"

Will took off his wet clothes and watched Josephine answer the phone, seeming to be concerned about his wife's reaction.

Josephine continued, listening to the call: "Yes, he's at home."

She handed the receiver to Will, looking concerned.

Josephine told him: "Your mother."

Will answered the phone. He seemed to have a premonition that there would be no good news, and his expression looked a little solemn.

Will listened to the phone and kept responding.

Josephine took off her wet coat and subconsciously placed her hand on her swollen belly. It was obvious that she had been pregnant for several months. She listened carefully to Will's phone call, trying to judge how serious the matter was.

Will answered the call: "What did Dr. Bennett say? Okay. Of course, let me talk to him. I'll wait."

He covered the receiver and looked at Josephine.

Josephine asked worriedly: "Is it bad?"

Will looked solemn: "It's worse than they thought. They plan to give up chemotherapy."

Josephine looked at her husband: "You have to go back."

Will nodded: "Maybe I'll leave tonight."

Josephine paused for a moment: "I'll go with you."
