Tim Burton Director

previously directed Planet of the Apes

A dying man tells his life story to his son, but his stories are so far fetched that his son is driven from him and feels his father a liar. We later see that story as his father told him.

Trivia:

The television commercial shown while the older Ed Bloom is eating pancakes is, in fact, an actual commercial for Larry Puckett Chevrolet in Prattville, Alabama.

Reference: Fight Club

When Ewan McGregor is approaching Helena Bonham Carter's house, one of the children he's with mentions how "she turns people into soap." This also ties back into the Fight Club novel, where Tyler and Jack make their soap out of fat from Marla's mother.

Quote: Edward Bloom

They say when you meet the love of your life, time stops, and that's true. What they don't tell you is that when it starts again it moves extra fast to catch up.
