爱德华(伊万·麦克格雷格 Ewan McGregor 饰)生性热爱自由,成年之后,他选择离开家乡,踏上了环游世界的旅程。一路上,爱德华遇见了各种各样稀奇古怪的角色,经历了无数精彩绝伦的的冒险,而他日后最大的兴趣,就是向他人喋喋不休的重复讲述他的这一段奇幻旅程。   威尔(比利·克鲁德普 Billy Crudup 饰)是爱德华的儿子,他并不相信父亲所讲述的那些光怪陆离的故事,甚至对此感到无比厌烦。婚后,他同父亲中断了联系,一晃眼就是数年过去。当再次得到爱德华的消息之时,威尔才知道父亲即将不久于人世,他决定去见爱德华最后一面。然而,这一次,威尔终于发现了隐藏在这些故事背后的奥秘和真相。 When Edward Bloom (Albert Finney) becomes ill, his son, William (Billy Crudup), travels to be with him. William has a strained relationship with Edward because his father has always told exaggerated stories about his life, and William thinks he's never really told the truth. Even on his deathbed, Edward recounts fantastical anecdotes. When William, who is a journalist, starts to investigate his father's tales, he begins to understand the man and his penchant for storytelling.

Don Price decks him, knocking him down. Edward gets rightback up, but makes no move to defend himself.
Unfazed, Don slugs him again.
SANDRA:
Stop it!
DON PRICE: (ignoring) What the matter, Bloom? Too scared to fight back?
EDWARD:
I promised I wouldn’t.
A beat. Don shrugs, fine. Then proceeds to kick Edward’sass nine ways to Sunday.
EDWARD (V.O.) (cont’d) While I took the beating of a lifetime, it was Don Price who was ultimatelydefeated.
As the ass-whupping continues, we INTERCUT WITH: INT. FRATERNITY HOUSE BATHROOM - DAY [FLASHFORWARD] Sitting on the can, Don Price pinches a loaf while readingthe new Playboy.
EDWARD (V.O.) All the physical activity had worseneda congenital valve defect. Put simply, his heart wasn’t strong enough.
68.
Don Price squeezes down hard, trying to sh*t the unshittable.
Suddenly, he grasps his chest and collapses face-first on thetile.
MATCH CUT TO: EXT. WITCH’S HOUSE / GATE - NIGHT [FLASHBACK] The same image of Don’s dead face on the tile is reflected in The Eye.
RETURNING BACK TO: EXT. THE SORORITY HOUSE - DAY The thrashing continues. Edward somehow fights his way back to his feet, ready to be knocked down again.
SANDRA:
Don!
Don is about to slug Edward again when he turns.
Sandra pulls off her engagement ring. There’s an audible AHH! from her sisters, and an OHH! from Don’s brothers.
SANDRA (cont’d) I will never marry you.
A beat. Don stands stunned, his mind reeling.
Edward, whose eyes are swollen almost shut, keeps waiting for the next punch. Where is it? What’s going on?
DON PRICE: What. You love this guy?
SANDRA:
He’s almost a stranger and I prefer himto you.
She hands him the ring. Another beat, then Don storms off.
But not before decking Edward one last time.
Sandra leans over Edward’s broken body. His head lies on the daffodils.
