big fish

i haven't watched big fish since the night my grandfather died a year and a half ago.
it was the weirdest thing. the main character always reminded me of him.
and right after i finished watching it, as i was listening to the pearl jam song in the credits, my daddy called.




my grandfather's funeral reminded me of the funeral in big fish, and the song in the credits reminded me of him. he was this larger than life person.

And the sky breaks at dawn, shedding light upon this town
They’ll all come ‘round
Cause the man of the hour is taking his final bow
Goodbye for now.

And the road
The old man paved
The broken seams along the way
The rusted signs, left just for me
He was guiding me, love, his own way
Now the man of the hour is taking his final bow
As the curtain comes down
I feel that this is just goodbye for now.

i felt like watching it today. i always thought it was such a pretty movie. but i was bored once i put it on. so i just watched the spectre scene, and the daffodil scene, and then the end. that ending always made me cry. like i said before, not a lot can make me cry.
