      The Fall--The Power Of Art Is Great And Infinite

      People behind the scenes are always forgotten. People simply see the things in front of them and unintentionally break the hearts of those who only pay with no return.

      I want to use my power to exchange for unreachable love, but instead I throw myself into what appears to be an unending hell.

      fall into the world

      Alexandra is a chubby 5-year-old girl. Probably because he broke his arm while picking oranges, he was arranged to recuperate in this hospital in Los Angeles. Although the entire left hand was covered with a thick plaster, this little fat girl would never let herself idle for a moment, carrying a "little treasure chest" all day long to shuttle in the adult world. Little Alexandra's inquisitive eyes seemed to find something interesting in anything, sometimes licking the fresh ice cubes that had...

      220222: fall

      "This is my story." "But also my story."

      An extended version of Salinger's The Laughing Man. This is one of my favorites in Nine Stories. Plot: In order to save his girlfriend, Roy, who participated in stunts but was disabled in the lower body, and Alexandra, who was hospitalized with an arm injury: In the story, the slave, the guard, the bomb expert, the British natural scientist, the masked man, and the tree man joined forces. Against Governor Odias, Roy...

      Life is bitter as a song

      Every frame of the film is like a finely photographed work, and the composition, color and storytelling of the picture are really strong. The shooting techniques and scene settings are amazing. The plot uses a fantasy fairy tale like the Thousand and One Nights to unfold delicate emotions little by little. The storyline is not traditionally sensational, but it is sincere to the heart. Roy, the protagonist, is a stuntman, or simply a stuntman. He is pessimistic but romantic. He has his own...

      imagination is magic

      Have you watched movies repeatedly? This part is. I remember when I watched it for the first time I was still young, immersed in Alexander's perspective, attracted by the peculiar stories and scenes, I don't understand why the people in the story died tragically, googly googly... Seeing the end will wake up the first time I watched it. grief. The main story of the film is very simple - the little girl Alexander accidentally broke into the world of Roy, an adult whose life was...

      【A】Magic Movie No.1 is no doubt. I actually burst into tears watching the second half: it turned out to be a love letter and a hymn to a movie stuntman! Although this kind of story structure has been flooded, the completion of this one is really a masterpiece. In many aspects, it is similar to "Big Fish", and in fact, the story is inferior to "Big Fish", but the final effect is much better than it. The most important point is that the "beauty" of this picture is not just pure strange beauty....

      At the beginning, I was shocked when I saw David Fincher presents, and it was really similar in style to "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", which was one of Fincher's favorite movies, and Terry Gilliam's absurd fantasy scenes appeared several times. Even though the film's cinematography and art are impeccable, the real highlight is the clip at the end of the old movie stunt scenes. The cruelty of the ending was too blunt to touch my tear ducts. Li Pace is such a handsome...

      The beauty of the picture is beautiful, but it is unavoidable to judge from ideology, there are too many slots... But India is really a good place. After seeing it, I found out that it is a tribute to the movie like Paradise Cinema, which I quite like. But I don't like the English fall fall/fall/fall indistinguishable. And the poster is so...

      The story is simple and underweight, but wide enough in two words "flying up" and "falling in." What the little girl saw was a dream-like take-off, an unattainable but wonderful mess. And Roy fell into reality... His deception was simply vulnerable in the eyes of the little girl. And, the ending of the story has forgotten what I would say nonsense... The fourth star at the end is for Li Pace, I will not admit it! cover your...

      In order to capture the little girl's best reaction, Pepe pretended to be paralyzed, and used a wheelchair the whole time when she was not shooting. She always paid attention to the little girl's reaction when shooting, and was careful not to block her light, so that she could The most beautiful side of the camera... Pepe is a good...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Due to a small misunderstanding between the casting director and the little girl's actor Catinca Untaru, Catinka thought that Lee Pace, who played Roy, was really a patient with high paraplegia.
    The house used by the band of bandits in the film is in the traditional style of the indigenous Marwar people in India.
    The scenes of Catinca Untaru were shot in chronological order. During the filming, Antaru's English level has improved...

    Evaluation action

    The film has maintained the director's bold and avant-garde style in all aspects. And Tatham Say made the film more thoroughly stamped with his personal style. In terms of routines, the imaginary world constructed by the human brain and the real world are intertwined and overlapped to create a grotesque and unruly ultimate imagination space. The bright and dazzling images are also carried forward in the film. The feature of the film is...

      Roy Walker: [pointing at the letter 'E'] What's this?

      Alexandria: Three.

      Roy Walker: Yeah... that's it. I'm having a hard time sleeping and remembering the story. I need some pills. I need pills in a bottle that has this written on it.

      Alexandria: M-O-R-P-H-I-N-3?

      Roy Walker: Yes. And it's in the main block. In that room in the main block. You understand?

      Roy Walker: I'm asking you as a friend.

      Alexandria: But it's stealing.

      Roy Walker: No it's not, not if you need it. It's no different than stealing bread from a church.

      Alexandria: I'll ask them for you.

      Alexandria: I'll do it.

      Roy Walker: Thanks.
