jeeap And the most beautiful I've ever seen. These colors and landscapes just hypnotise you to the point that you feel like you're inside of the picture. A good story is attached to it too: two souls travel together to the world of their shared subconsciousness.
saj-43221 Having grown up in a video shop and having seen the best and worst in movies and now also being in my 40s,, rarely something turns up that makes me go wow. This is one of those wow moments.Stunning, i mean stunning visuals, great acting and a fantastic storyline. Put the kids to bed, feet up and immerse yourself in this movie. Brilliant.
xoen-78617 This is the world we live in. So sad, so sad...amazing movie, but, it is not easy to consume.
Bernie Sauer Tarsem Singh is the kind of film director most moviegoers label as off-putting because of his emphasis of image before plot. I would agree with this argument, and I would back it up completely with the haste of an objective, logical movie critic. But, that's not my style. I go with how the movie makes a logical or illogical impact, and if the "how" is fascinating, then I am fascinated.The Fall is an original film because it does what most filmmakers yearn to do: it creates images and visionary landscapes only our imaginations can produce. A year ago, I mentioned the same traits seen in Pan's Labyrinth. This time, Tarsem's vision overtakes the plot, and as risky as that may be, its pictorial energy wins you over.Around the 1920s, we find ourselves in a hospital in the desert outskirts of Los Angeles. An injured movie stuntman, Roy (Pace), is visited by Alexandria (Untaru), who has a broken arm and an eager imagination. To keep each other company, Roy tells a story about five mythical heroes who have one thing in common: they all want to seek revenge upon Odious, the evil dictator who took a particular piece of freedom away from each man. Roy is the storyteller, Alexandria is the story visionary, and we see everything she sees. Eventually, Roy's fictional story parallels with his real life, and Alexandria interprets both.We have two worlds working here: one between two unlikely friends and the other created by the co-existent imaginations of the two. As the little girl, Untaru's performance, is unfeigned, natural, and endearing.This is certainly the movie to leave you speechless.
