Big Fish

In the story of Big Fish Edward Bloom sees himself in the Giant Karl.

Whenever Edward Makes a big decision the giant is there.

In the first scene when they first meet the Giant is with Edward when Ed makes the big decision to leave town because he and the giant are destined for bigger things. Later on in the movie when the two are at the circus Ed sees a girl and he knows right there that that will be his wife. So he works for Danny Devito doing the dirty jobs of the circus to learn things about her. But when he finally finds out where she lives the Giant was next to him and he left to go meet the woman he will marry. But the Giant stayed which proves he won't ever make a bigger decision in his life.

Before all this happened Ed was a smaller guy but started growing very fast. He started growing so fast that he had to lie in a machine for a long time because his bones were getting big very fast. He did some research and he found that when goldfish live in a small bowl they stay small but when they released into a mass of water they grow alot bigger. Ed knew he had to leave to reach his full potential. But before he left he had to look for the Big scary giant that was a pest the the small town. When he got there Ed noticed the man was very big. So he saw himself in the giant because they both needed to leave town to do greater things.
