You didn't fall into the abyss, you just fell briefly and someone would pull you up.
A friend who is not very fond of movies recommended this movie, so I picked a good morning and watched "Falling" with Sunshine very seriously. At the end of the film, I just wanted to say that this translation didn't seem right, but when I typed the word "fall into", I saw "Love Net" and "Abyss" that the system automatically followed up with, and I thought this name was a good one too. .
But after thinking about it, I still feel that the word "falling" is too desperate for this film, as if falling from a height, suffering a few seconds of weightlessness for centuries, falling into something is very bad The place, then silently typed the opening sentence. "Falling" is like the slice of bread stolen from the church, seemingly bland and insignificant, but full of hope of redemption.
The filming took place in 25 countries, and it is worth mentioning the aesthetics of the film. The era of Los Angeles is matched with exotic flavors, which is a visual feast. Red to distorted blood, orange boundless desert, sapphire blue walls, such visually aggressive colors are not unconventional when combined together, coupled with the labyrinth-like buildings in Escher's prints, the composition is neat and uniform. Perfect. Stunning, and never tire of seeing it.
In terms of narrative, it can be said that the film is divided into two parts: the real world from the perspective of Alexsandria and the world of the story told by Roy. The narrative of the real part is limited to a corner of Los Angeles, and the audience follows Alexsandria through a single ward and a street; almost every character's emotions are restrained, and the adults always have words and ambiguities. But whenever you enter the story Roy tells, it is full of changing landscapes, highly saturated colors and full emotional expression. In the strong contrast, the only one who is consistent in both worlds is Alexsandria, who is always the same sweet smile and full of energy. It is her who, when intervening in the world of the story, blurs the boundary between reality and it.
Talking about the connection between reality and the world of the story is the subtlety of the film. The first half of the story line is very loose, and some are unexplainable and flat. The story that happened to Roy in reality was as fragmented as his heart, and he could only hear it from the few words of the interviewer. The identity and family of Alexsandria were also unclear, so it was enough to see that none of this mattered. Well, those are all things of the past. Since they are things of the past, let them pass by. It is important to live.
Roy's story is so bizarre that it takes more than half of the film's audience to realize that this is his inner world. Roy's death and Alexsandria's recovery triggered the climax of the plot. As Alexsandria's the fall, with a series of grotesque dolls in place of wounds and surgeries, the film enters my favorite part. I really liked the next shot change, like Roy took a sip from the bottle and the masked man put down the bottle, and Alexsandria lying on the hospital bed with his head on his side made Roy raise his hands and the masked man Then he got up and left the water.
When Alexsandria appeared in the story, it opened the gap between reality and the world of the story, and stepped into Roy's spiritual world, symbolizing the establishment of the bond between the two. Your story is not only your story, but mine too. A tug-of-war between the life and death of the characters in the story is also a self-salvation of Roy with the help of Alexsandria. It has exhausted the "care" between friends, as if to say that you can indeed decide your own life and death, but you don't intend to. Try to think about do I care about you?
This is the tie. Alexsandria went to a lot of movies because of a friend. Is it reasonable to speculate that the friend also lived and acted in a lot of movies because of her, I think it must be the case. As Roy said when you met, your name is from Alexander the Great, you are the most heroic warrior in the world, you are Roy's warrior, little girl.
