Continuity mistake: When Edward is walking through the forest and the trees grab him the key he is wearing falls off his neck, but in the next couple shots you can still see it hanging on his neck.
Big Fish (2003)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Tim Burton
Starring: Ewan McGregor, Helena Bonham Carter, Jessica Lange, Billy Crudup, Albert Finney
The father is in the hospital, dying, he asks his son to tell him how he dies. the son tells him this elaborate story about how he breaks him out of the hospital and drives him to a river, where everyone his father has ever talked about is there. the father turns into the BIG FISH and swims away. it then turns to the real funeral scene. The son realises that his father wasn't lying, just stretches the truth to make the story more interesting. Son meets all the people that the father talked about. The last scene has the son his wife and mother watching the son's child play in the pool with his friends telling the stories told by the father. Another interpretation is that the stories told by Albert Finney were lies and the funeral scene was made up by the son as one final story to honour his father, who he realised he did love for who he was.

Young Ed Bloom: Your last name is different. You married.
Jenny: I was 18, he was 28. Turns out it was a big difference.
Trivia: The banjo player in Spectre who is playing 'Dueling Banjos' is Billy Redden, who as a boy also portrayed Lonnie in 'Deliverance', playing the same song on a banjo (though it was a professional musician's hands who actually strummed the banjo).
Question: The end credits say that BLUE'S CLUES and DORA THE EXPLORER are referenced and the "References" in the movie's IMDb page say that Edward was watching them on TV, but when did he? I don't see clips of either show.
