Director Tim Burton's adaptation of author Daniel Wallace's bittersweet Southern Gothic novel has been billed as his first mainstream character drama, a notion that conveniently ignores the story's inherent fables and flights of imagination. But composer Danny Elfman understands their every dark nook and murky cranny with this magical, often deftly understated score. While the epic melodrama of his comic book scores (Batman, Spider-Man, The Hulk, et. al.) have made him a mainstream Hollywood music star, longtime fans know that the composer's true emotional range is seldom tapped as well as it is working with longtime collaborator Burton. His music here bridges the delicate pastoralism of Rachel Portman and restless, rhythmic mysteries of Thomas Newman, seasoned with twangy fiddles and bowings to the film's occasionally Gothic turns and concludes with the deliciously loopy "Twice the Love (Siamese Twins Song)." Anchored by Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam's wistful theme song "Man of the Hour" and a half-dozen pop chart nuggets than span half-a-century, Elfman's work here (as well as Pearl Jam's) received a much-deserved Golden Globe nomination. --Jerry McCulley

 Fishy Ending September 15, 2005

Movie Title: Big Fish
Produced By: Schmidt Richard D. Zanuck, Dan Jinks
Director: Tim Burton
Length: 2 hours. 5 minutes
Rated: PG-13
Released Date: 2003
Do you like movies that will make you cry so hard that you will need a dump truck full of tissues? Or when a person gets to a scary part in the woods and a man almost dies and gets your hopes up. Well if you do this is the movie the for you.
This movie has terrific characters in it. If you are wondering how I'll tell you how. Because all characters fit into the part that they are supposed to play in. defiantly Edward bloom. Edward bloom is the star of this movie. He is a brave and ignorant man. So if you don't believe me that he fits in his part GIVE ME A CALL.
Also this movie has a lot of fantasy world in it. Like the 12 foot tall giant the moving (killing) trees. Also the eye. The eye is a eye that a witch has that will show you how you die. Pretty freaky ha. Most movies that you see are realistic not fantasy except for a couple.....this one is. It's a very good movie you really really need too watch it.
This movie is mostly about an old man that tells a bunch of stories about him in his younger years. He talks about what he does and how he does it. You will never understand this movie if you don't watch it from the beginning.
This movie also has a couple of related and spooky parts in it. Like when his wife walks in will he is in the bath tub under water with his arms crossed a crossed his chest. And at the end of the movie he went to the lake and his son dropped him in the water and the old mans arms was crossed like in the bath tub. That is a related. The spooky is........well trust me you don't want too know. Any way I don't want to ruin it.
When you watch this movie please call me and tell me if you have any more of them tissues. Because I need them for next time I watch this movie. Sorry I couldn't tell you more but I really didn't want to tell you none of it. I just wanted to say WATCH THIS MOVIE NOW!!!!!
Big Fish Soundtrack September 4, 2005

It is always great when you buy a soundtrack that actually plays the music exactly as it happened in the movie. There have been some that I've bought that are 'inspired' by the movie.
My only disappointment was that there were some songs like Sandra's Farewell that I just craved went longer than 1min 16secs.
Despite this, I'm glad I have got it.
Perfect complement to a fantastic film July 27, 2005

Tim Burton's film Big Fish is a wonderful movie, and composer Danny Elfman's Oscar-nominated score complements it beautifully. Elfman's music is very understated in the movie, and it wasn't until I listened to the film's soundtrack recently that I realized how hauntingly beautiful his music is.
Elfman's music is perfect for Burton's magical film about the larger-than-life character of Edward Bloom. Mystical, whimsical, and eerie at times, the score takes you deep into the weird and wondrous world of the character. The emotional "Sandra's Theme" is one of the best pieces of music on the soundtrack, and the jazzy number "Twice the Love" (the Siamese twins' song) closes out the CD with a bang.
The soundtrack is mostly instrumental, with the exception of the first seven tracks. These tracks are an eclectic mixed bag of music, featuring artists ranging from Pearl Jam to Buddy Holly to Elvis Presley. The real gold on this particular CD, though, is Elfman's music.
Even if you haven't seen the film (and you should; it's wonderful), if you enjoy quality instrumental music, I highly recommend picking up a copy of this soundtrack.
"Amazing" song February 27, 2005

I believe the other song refered to in the trailers is Josh Kelley's "Amazing" from his For the Ride Home CD. Hope this helps those of you who were looking for this song as I was.
 good soundtrack for a nice movie August 13, 2004

The Big Fish soundtrack goes well with the best movie. I was impressed, but I think that "Dinah" by Bing Crosby is the oldest song on here.It's a neat thing to listen to if you're traveling somewhere far away and you're driving.I usually just listen from track 1-7 because they're the only ones that aren't classical, and thanks to Elvis Presley's superb existence and the year 1955, we have rock music!
