Don't think that you can relate to a Tim Burton film? Try seeing Big Fish. This gorgeous film is about a man dying of cancer whose life story is equal parts truth and myth (that has been repeated so much that he takes it for fact.) As his son tries to sort through the lies to find the facts, he learns not only more about his dad, but also more about himself.
This is one of Tim Burton's lighter flicks visually: he goes for more soft, ethereal, and child-like elements than usual. The cinematography is stunning and creative. In fact, the whole movie is stunning. All the facets fit together so well, you don't find yourself just noticing the music, or acting, or costumes. They complement eachother so well that, after you finish the film, you just marvel at how beautiful it all is.
