Whats with the "Big Fish" poster in Evans bedroom?

reply

I thought the same thing I've been trying to get a connection some how but I have no clue

reply

I have a movie poster on my wall. Something wrong with that?

reply

Yeh, what is it? I have Trainspotting, Star Wars, Jaws, Back to the Future, Terminator Blade Runner, Aliens, Robocop, Raiders of the Lost Ark etc

But Big Fish?

reply

Yeah, Big Fish wasn't that good in my opinion but Evan seemed to like it.

There's barely any space on my wall but I have an Adventure Time poster as an inside joke between me and my friend :p

reply

The only one who would know what Evan liked would be Alex. Whats the story behind Adventure Time?

for you it wasn't that great for me it's one of my favorite movies.. i identify with its storyline, it mirrors my father and i's relationship and the struggle i had with dealing with his *beep* for the sake of this movie i think it was either random fanfare that the prop team threw in or the films budget had then shoot the bedroom scene in some persons real room and that person was a fan

Oooooor you are 12 years old

reply

35 actually... what makes you think 12?

reply

The movie the poster represents was really good and a lot of people loved it. It's as simple as that. Don't read anything into it.

reply

Cloe was in Tim Button's "Dark Shadows"... was only connection I could make as she was in the same shot as the poster. He directed "Big Fish".

Most kids and teens have various posters on their walls.

reply

Big fish is about determing fact from fiction and choosing the story you want to believe... I think it's as simple as that.

reply

Maybe the only movie that gave permission, lol.

reply

Well, them and the Bollywood film Two Mules for Sister Ragnapethi.

reply

I personally think that the only reason was that it was in the props warehouse and looks cool.

Sony is notorious for putting their "own" products in their films. Notice that all the laptops are Sony Vaio's, the phone are sony, etc. Big Fish, though an odd choice, is a Sony film so it was probably just blatant product placement by them. Though something like Men in Black would have been more appropriate (dealing with aliens and all). Just my .02.

reply

Maybe Sony is monitoring whether there is a spike in Big Fish DVD sales after they released this movie.

reply

Lol...subliminal marketing as most people surely saw it but didn't realize what it was

reply

I did get a chance to talk to Frank Galline who was the set decorator for this movie. He told me that poster was requested by the director to be put in the bedroom, so thats where the answer to this question will be found.

He likes girls who don't wash often...
