That innocence we've long since lost

fall into

The English title of "Falling" is called The Fall, in which Fall means "falling" and "falling". Physical falls are ubiquitous in the film and have an intuitive visual display.

Roy fell under the bridge with his horse and horse while filming, and as a stunt performer, he performed the fall repeatedly. Little Loli Lisandre was also injured in the fall in the orange garden, and fell heavily when stealing medicine. The two became attached to each other. Also from the falling of a note and so on.

The deep connotation lies in the abstract fall, Roy fell into an unfortunate encounter and a muddy emotional relationship and couldn't extricate himself. Little loli Arisandre fell deeply into the grand visual dream woven by Roy for her and was fascinated.

What matters, however, is not why you fall, but how you get out. The fall of the body can be recovered through convalescence in the hospital, but what about the fall of the mind? At this time, let's look back at Roy's sentence when Alexandra was feeding Roy the sacrament. (Are you trying to save my soul?) I knew that the director had already passed the protagonist's mouth and pointed out the gist of the whole film.

The director of the film, Tasim, is an Indian director with a background in TV commercials. It can be seen that he has the ultimate pursuit in the visual style of the film. Despite the name of the VFX team in the credits, he still claimed in the interview that no special effects were used. The scenic spots that appear in the film are the result of his four-year travel to more than 20 countries to shoot. The desert yellow sand, blue sky and green water, blood-colored flags, strange rainforests and temples, all of which are just to express the gorgeous imagination of a little girl. The exquisitely designed special clips that match the picture and the sound make the dream and reality go through without traces, naturally and smoothly.

All of these show the director's ingenuity and ambition. When Alexandra's "Brain Theater" is colorful, but also fragmented and subjective, she will imagine all the "people" and "things" she encounters in the hospital into her story. Alexander the Great's small note ~ the guards of Odias, Darwin's mysterious box ~ the dentures of the mysterious messenger, the sea elephant ~ the sharpening stone, and the one-to-one correspondence between story characters and real characters. The black slave is the little brother who pulls the ice cubes, the Indian is the Indian friend he met in the orchard, the bomb expert is the cast and crew who negotiated with Roy, Darwin is the hospital staff, the princess is the nurse Evelyn, etc. Wait.

The complexity and cruelty of the real world will also be given positive and beautiful imaginations in the little girl's heart, such as what Odias said when threatening the mysterious messenger: Birds will be safer in my stomach, which means Odias After eating all the birds, Alexandra misunderstood that the birds were protected in the belly of the mysterious emissary, so after the mysterious emissary was killed, there was a scene of birds flying out of his mouth, what a lovely misunderstanding. Another example is the reason why Alexander the Great poured out the last helmet of water because it was not enough for everyone to drink. This way of thinking in the adult world seemed inexplicable in the eyes of little Alexandra. Katinka Antaru, a little loli from Romania, with clumsy English and smart eyes, contributed what can be called "the most natural children's performance" this year. It is precisely because of this movie that Lee Pace It was only discovered by Peter Jackson, the director of "The Hobbit". From an obscure black and white film stuntman, he turned gorgeously into the smashing elf king of the dark forest.

"Fall in" is a fairy tale movie, but it's by no means a fairy tale for children. In fact, this is a Rated Rated film, the magnificent landscape is a story of violent revenge, and the innocent and childlike redeeming is a dark and world-weary heart. The slow-motion black-and-white movie scenes with rich meanings at the beginning and end of the film, about the tedious and subtle correlation and innuendo of the real world and the "theatre in the brain", are by no means easy for a child to understand. Adults see it as a healing movie, and children see it as a visual movie, and fall into it in different ways, so that they can get their own seconds.

    The picture is really beautiful, but the beauty is too deliberate and blunt, just like the male protagonist LeePace, you can't say that he is not handsome, but he has no aura. The story is a bit cliché, but anyway the perfect ending I like. This is how life is. Falling down again and again, there will always be a time when you will fly high. Don't give up hope. Slow rhythm and strong tones, and that little girl, I love it. 20110108

    2020.3.21 Your film is so literary and fantastic. Basically, people will definitely think that this film is very magical. In fact, it is not really the case. The film has done a very good job of color and scene layout, especially the oasis in the desert, the Gobi Desert. The Blue City and the slow-motion pictures of Roy falling into the water at the beginning are all beautiful. After reading it, I realized that every character included in Roy's story corresponds to a character in the hospital. Roy is a stunt actor who appeared in one shooting. The accident paralyzed heroine is a little girl who fell from an orange tree. One day, the note that the heroine threw to the head nurse fell on Roy. They became friends. Luo told the heroine about 5 thieves. The governor was imprisoned on a small island and escaped by relying on a swimming elephant. The five of them met a strange mysterious person together. Later, Roy wanted the heroine to help him steal the medicine to kill him. He wanted to commit suicide. The heroine helped him. They released slaves and took away the governor's fiancée on the way, but the thief died one by one, but Luo killed the governor under the infiltration of the heroine. Finally, it was a tribute to the stunt performer.
