Tim Burton directed this great and heartwarming movie.  It is full of weird characters that somehow seem strangely familiar. He took the ordinary situations and turned them into something surreal and fantastic. The story follows the fantastical life of Ed Bloom, a very positive and strange man. He tells his story to his son, and as always he adds a bit to get the story more outrageous and breathtaking.

From circus to World War II and other events in his life everything is just covered with a veil of fantasy. The cast is perfect, and the movie has great production values so expect some really great and visually impressive effects, as for the story goes, it is truly heartwarming and beautiful. Enjoy this great movie.
