Joshua (Hebrew: יְהוֹשֻׁעַ Yĕhôshúa‘; Greek: Ἰησοῦς, Arabic: يوشع بن نون Yūshaʿ ibn Nūn), is a figure in the Torah, being one of the spies for Israel (Num 13-14) and in few passages as Moses's assistant. He is the central character in the Hebrew Bible's Book of Joshua. According to the books Exodus, Numbers and Joshua, he became the leader of the Israelite tribes after the death of Moses; his name was Hoshe'a the son of Nun, of the tribe of Ephraim, but Moses called him Yehoshu'a (Joshua) (Numbers 13:16) the name by which he is commonly known; and he was born in Egypt prior to the Exodus, and was probably the same age as Caleb, with whom he is occasionally associated.
He was one of the twelve spies of Israel sent by Moses to explore the land of Canaan. (Numbers 13:1-16) After the death of Moses, he led the Israelite tribes in the conquest of Canaan, and allocated the land to the tribes. According to Biblical chronology, Joshua lived between 1500–1390 BCE, or sometime in the late Bronze Age. According to Joshua 24:29, Joshua died at the age of 110.
Big Fish is a 2003 American fantasy adventure film based on the 1998 novel of the same name by Daniel Wallace. The film was directed by Tim Burton and stars Albert Finney, Ewan McGregor, Billy Crudup, Jessica Lange and Marion Cotillard. Other roles are performed by Helena Bonham Carter, Matthew McGrory, Danny DeVito, Deep Roy and Miley Cyrus among others. Finney plays Edward Bloom, a former traveling salesman from the Southern United States with a gift for storytelling, now confined to his deathbed. Bloom's estranged son, a journalist played by Crudup, attempts to mend their relationship as his dying father relates tall tales of his eventful life as a young adult, played by Ewan McGregor.
Screenwriter John August read a manuscript of the novel six months before it was published and convinced Columbia Pictures to acquire the rights. August began adapting the novel while producers negotiated with Steven Spielberg who planned to direct after finishing Minority Report (2002). Spielberg considered Jack Nicholson for the role of Edward Bloom, but eventually dropped the project to focus on Catch Me If You Can (2002). Tim Burton and Richard D. Zanuck took over after completing Planet of the Apes (2001) and brought Albert Finney and Ewan McGregor on board.
Sometimes I think it would be better
If you just walked away
And stopped returning phone calls
Come out to see the band play
Lady, Leave me, I will love you more
Sometimes I only speak when
I'm ignored
Big fish, little fish don't swim back to me
Eww eww eww eww
Circle my ship and slip back into the sea
Eww eww eww eww
I'm sending out a
Warning 'cause I think you oughta know
If catching you is easy then I'm gonna have to let you go
Sometimes I wish you wouldn't smile
Every time I come around
And pick me up so easily
Every time I let you down
And baby
Make me
Crazy
If you can
Miscommunicate to make me
Understand
Big fish, little fish don't swim back to me
Eww eww eww eww
Circle my ship and slip back into the sea
Eww eww eww eww
I'm sending out a
Warning 'cause I think you oughta know
If catching you is easy then I'm gonna have to to let you go
Let you go home
I can swim like a stone again
Big fish, little fish don't swim back to me
Eww eww eww eww
Circle my ship and slip back into the sea
Eww eww eww eww
Big fish, little fish don't swim back to me
Big fish, little fish don't swim back to me
