If the previous "Invasion of Brain Cells" only showed the audience his exquisite and gorgeous footage, Tarsem Singh fully reflected the master style in "Falling". In the film's constant alternation of subconsciousness and reality, the protagonist finds rebirth again after falling down with difficulty and pain. And all aspects of the film work perfectly together.
The picture is particularly beautiful, even surpassing the previously mentioned "Invasion of Brain Cells". Color, architecture, primary and secondary, aestheticism is used to the extreme in this film. Illusions, in both films, can only be used to express illusions, and in turn contrast the paleness of reality - the illusions of hospitals. very nice.
Then there is the delicate manipulation of the subconscious mind, the story, and the language. That revenge story unfolds on three levels: film, story, and reality. In fact, it is a story that a man and a little girl tell together, mixing their respective lives; halfway through the film, the man and the little girl meet in the story; the little girl's redemption of the man. Such a hierarchically complex relationship, through the same lines, the same characters, and the same images seen in reality and reflected in the story (such as the iron-headed doctor who took the X-ray film and the enemy in the story) The image of a samurai!) The director has done quite successfully in this regard with such means with strong subliminal hints. It can be said that at this level, "Invasion of Brain Cells" has become an annotation of this film.
