...the fairytale element in life.

Turning yourself into a fish? That sounds gross. Being a big fish in a little pond? Now, that's something to ponder upon.

As I watch the ending of Big Fish, I was overwhelmed with the knowledge of what imagination can do. Well, some people will call it lies or the inability to face reality. However I deem it a special gift to be able to romanticise your life into a great tale. Why see your life as ordinary, filled with normalcy and logic when you can interpret it differently? But do not mistaken this for escapism. It is not to escape the realities of life. Rather, it is to enhance life's realities. Well, it may be exaggeration of the truth but heck, it's perfect for storytelling.
