As long as there is hope, there is meaning in life

1. A soul-healing movie. Seeing the world from the perspective of a little girl, everything becomes curious and childlike. She will wonder why the shadow of the carriage outside the house is upside down on the wall. Licking ice in the sun and smearing butterflies on her belly, she is smart and brave, because she is afraid that she will run into the arms of the nurse aunt when she sleeps at night, and she is not afraid of falling down again, and she will take her beloved box with her wherever she goes. . 2. Reality and dream. The movie has two main lines, one is real life; the other is an "epic" story told by Roy to a little girl, five heroes (Indian, bearded man, slave, Darwin, masked man) + mysterious man confrontation The bad guy Odias and his soldiers correspond to everyone in life, like a dream, and it is also Roy's inner world. The little girl enters his inner world and brings Roy, who is suffering from depression, to you. Hope of rebirth. 3. Death and hope. There are many ways of "death" in the film, and the old man leaves without pain; Darwin's beloved monkey Wallace was killed by soldiers for catching butterflies for his master, which is also a happy death; teeth reflect "hope", the little girl asked Luo Yi, why do old people put their teeth in a water glass at night, that's the way to save their soul and strength. The mysterious man accidentally lost his teeth, and after being hacked to death by soldiers, he spat out a bird in his mouth. rebirth. 4. Heal. The old man said to the little girl, do you know what I do when something terrible happens to me? I'll just say the magic spell: Googly (go away), googly, googly, begone. The necklace reads "My dearest daughter, never marry for the sake of fame, fortune, power or stability, you must follow your heart."

    It must be with the heart to carve an incomparable work of art to create such a great work. Use epic rhetoric to tell a fairy tale. Who can remain unmoved?

    A good metaphor is that I don't like this kind of film that deliberately makes the emotion light and makes the strong emotion appear in the invisible shadow.

The Fall quotes

  • Roy Walker: Can you read English?

    Alexandria: Ya.

    Roy Walker: [pointing to a word he's written] What's this?

    Alexandria: Paper.

    Roy Walker: [laughs] No. What's this?

    Alexandria: [reading] M-O-R-P-H-I-N-3.

    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?

    Alexandria: Ask the head nurse.

    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.

    Roy Walker: No. It's a bandits' secret. I need the pills to finish the story. Do you understand?

    Alexandria: I'll do it.

    Roy Walker: Thanks.

  • Roy Walker: And she turned from the masked bandit and she said...

    Nurse Evelyn: [in the story, as Sister Evelyn] May I be frank with you?

    Blue Bandit: Of course.

    Nurse Evelyn: Although I've dedicated my life to God and His goodness, I secretly love throwing oranges at our priest.

    Blue Bandit: [as Roy, talking to Alexandria] Take two turns to the left and go to the bathroom.

    Alexandria: [squirming because she has to use the restroom] No. You read my note.

    Roy Walker: What are you talking about? Go to the bathroom.

    Alexandria: No. How did you know about the priest and the oranges?

    Roy Walker: Everybody knows you like to throw oranges at the priest, even the priest knows. But I didn't find that out from your gibberish message.

    Alexandria: Is not gibberish.
