Maybe My Favourite Movie Ever

I remember when I first saw trailers for this movie, it looked like something I would want to see. And when I saw it, I was just blown away. It's one of those movies that has everything. Giants, war, magic, fantasy, and true love. And underneath the entire story is a framework of a son trying to make amends with his dying father. When I saw this movie, I decided I wanted to see everything Tim Burton did, because anyone who could make something like this knows what he's doing.

The ending of this movie is one of the three movies moments that can actually move me to tears.

A must watch movie

A different kind of movie.
