The city of Specter in The Big Fish represents heaven.
The city of Specter is hard to get into like heaven. To get to SPecter, you have to go through a long path of woods. The woods have entanglements and traps just like life. Carl said before Edward started on the path "Are you sute you want to go on that long path?" and Edward responded with "Yes it will be an adventure and a challenge." Likewise, to get to heaven you have to do good works and go through the path of life. When Edward got to Specter the man at the enterance had a clip board,like Saint Peter is suppose to have at the gates of heaven. At the end of every path there is a reward.
The city of Specter is a reward, just like heaven is for doing good works. When you get to Specter, everything is perfect and you can just relax. When you get to heaven there is no worries and you can just do what you want. The man at the entrance once said, "Not many people come because you have to take the long and hard path to get here." You have no jobs or worries either in Specter, because everything is provided for you. All you do all day is have fun, like dancing and eating wonderful pie.
