"Fall"/"The Fall" First of all, knowledge supplement, what is surrealism? It is a modern western literature and art genre, dedicated to exploring the subconscious psychology of human beings, and advocates breaking through the logical and practical view of reality, completely abandoning the realistic image based on logic and orderly experience and memory, and combining the reality concept with instinct, subconscious and The fusion of dream experience shows the image world in the deep human mind. To describe it in common language is - beyond the real reason, the free release of ideas! 1. Salute to all the stuntmen! 2. Life is so unbearable, we have a thousand reasons and ten thousand ways to die. It's easy to want to die, but hard to live. We should never give up hope of life, but redeem our souls! 3. After 4 years of filming in 18 countries and 26 locations, the film was shot in 26 locations in 18 countries. Although some locations only appeared for less than 1 second, the director took advantage of his personal connections all over the world to bring a micro-team to shoot every time. Every frame of the film was extravagant. , the scene, composition, clothing, picture color, and visual effects are amazing. And its storyline is actually very simple: stuntman Roy Walker was seriously injured during filming, causing his lower body to be paralyzed and lost consciousness. The little girl Alexandra broke into his world. She came to Roy's ward to report every day just to hear him tell that fantastic and magical story, and Roy used this casually made up story to attract the little girl and wanted to take the opportunity to complete him. The plan of suicide was unexpectedly redeemed by the little girl in the end. Fairy tales and reality are interspersed and overlapped, and the climax is especially heart-wrenching. Roy projected his cowardice and self-abandonment into the stories he made up, in an attempt to be liberated by death in another world. "This is my story! I just want to kill everyone!" "It's mine too! Don't die!" "You're gonna die!" "You're not allowed to die!" "You're gonna die!" Die~" "Okay, I'm not going to die." They couldn't tell the difference between reality and the story. They were completely involved in the play, crying for the people in the play and crying for themselves. A tragedy about to be born was finally rewritten by the little girl, who has been trying to save Roy , to redeem him, and finally rely on the child's innocence and kindness to change the ending of the story and Roy's life. 4. The most profound scenes in the film. a. The appearance of the mysterious messenger. Stripped from the dead tree, camouflaged color, fantasy picture. b. Princess appearance screen. The strong visual impact and unique appearance shots are also the shots that attracted me to watch this film! c. After the mysterious messenger ate the poisonous map, the picture of the summoning ceremony of the companions was very exciting, and the editing, transition and visual pictures were not too good! d. When Roy got married, the circling dance in the hall was very artistic. According to the information, it was the monkey dance in Bali and the Sufi dance in Islam. The expression and movement of the monkey after being shot by an arrow were very natural. The guy feels heartache f. The scene where the little girl went to steal medicine for Roy and accidentally fell down and performed surgery, I would like to call it the most terrifying scene in the whole film, the director's style of painting here is abruptly changed, for a coward like me I was a little scared, but the metaphor in this paragraph is very strong. The little girl took out the slip of paper she threw away in the beginning of the film from the little girl's head, and opened the secret that the child saw in the head. g. The scene of Odias dying in the pool. This paragraph, I have to say one thing, I think it is actually a little bit bloody, but it is also a turning point in the film, and its surrealism is also reasonable. With aesthetic color, the director's shooting techniques are exquisite and imaginative, which is very worth learning! h. In the end, I found out that in fact all the people in the story come from reality. i. The final black and white documentary at the end - tribute to all the stuntmen! Although there was only one minute and forty seconds of footage, what I saw was how dedicated the actors were in that era without special effects! Totally dedicate one's life to art! It was really hammered, really fell from a horse, really fell from a height, all the dangerous actions that ordinary actors dare not do are all done by stuntmen, and some classic pictures of Master Chaplin are also shown! I was moved to see it, and salute to all the stunt performers! The final black and white documentary at the end - tribute to all the stuntmen!

    [Exhibition at the China Film Archive] The real brain hole is wide open. The structure of telling a story to a little girl is very interesting and full of wild imagination. The two-line narrative mirrors each other, and what the innocent and cute little girl sees and feels is beautifully integrated into the story. Absurd, but fascinating, and ultimately heart-wrenching. Many magnificent and shocking scenery are actually shot in real scenes, which is breathtaking and admirable! The final tribute to the classic silent film stunt scenes is a bonus!
