"Forth, and fear no darkness! Arise! Arise, Riders of Theoden! Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered! A sword day... a red day... ere the sun rises! Ride now!... Ride now!... Ride! Ride to ruin and the world's ending! Death! "

I don't know how to explain it, I'm not an emotional person at all, except for when I watch The Lord of the Rings. Even though I've watched it about 20 times and know all the lines by…

"A man tells his stories so many times that he becomes the stories. They live on after him, and in that way he becomes immortal."

Big Fish tells the story of a father who lives with fairy tales and doesn't hesitate to tell his stories in every environment and community he is in, no matter how unbelievable they may seem, and his relationship with his son and how this communication is interrupted by doubts about the reality of the fairy…

"All I know is if I don't take a shower and brush my teeth in about two minutes, I'm gonna fucking kill myself. I'm a fag, okay? I can't stand being dirty."
