Big Fish

I enjoyed the imagination and adventure of Big Fish very much. Big Fish starts with an orchestral underscore. It builds some the gives a more tense and inclined mood. When he narrates, an underscore plays. When the scene is about the tension between him and his father the music has a tense feel. As he tells the fictional story of his birth, made by his father, the music is goofy with acapella vocals. Underscore music plays through the flashbacks of stories told by his father. The music helps to narrate of the storyline and give excitement, adventure and intensity to the stories. Some of the music within the adventure stories reminded me of Harry Potter and also To Kill a Mockingbird, when Jem and Scout sneak over to Boo Radley’s house. The music during the present time with his dad is mainly string underscore that is more sympathetic and clam. There is a large amount of music, primarily underscore besides the vocal church music and festival country music, throughout the film, giving it a classic Hollywood characteristic.
