It's not a fantasy, it's a fairy tale

When I saw the introduction that there was a man who could tell a wild story, I thought it might be similar to "Big Fish", with a peculiar imaginative tension about a little girl - I thought maybe there would be a huge wood like "27 Lost Kisses" The sailboat glides quietly through the late-night streets, so I didn't hesitate to drop this movie. But it doesn't meet my expectations at all. If there is a fairy tale movie category, this is it.

After watching the first three minutes, I'm sure this is a great movie. That slow motion is so gorgeous.

I didn't know that the director was the director of "Invasion of Brain Cells". After watching it, I felt that "Invasion of Brain Cells" was too Marilyn Manson. She frightened people with her glamorous appearance and cold heart. Of course, I can't deny that I also like "Invasion of Brain Cells". , but definitely can't compare to this one, this "Falling" is too enthusiastic. Not only is fantasy, fantasy films tend to fall into the stereotype of paying too much attention to special effects, and "Falling" has the appearance of a literary film, the color of a fantasy film, and the storyline of an Oscar-like best foreign language film, which is amazing.

The main content of the film is left for you to watch for yourself. I just want to copy the scenes full of characteristics in my mind: the little girl's fat fingers, she draws butterflies on her stomach - the blind man presses down with one palm, and there are bright bloodstains The white flags that dyed red and fluttered in the wind like life-Darwin wore a feather coat. His idea was to make the elephant a swimming mount in the deep blue sea-the mysterious aboriginal messenger, who kept spit out twittering before he died. Flappy bird - maybe add the first horse that hangs under the train and the long bridge.

The little girl asked the man, why did the old man put his dentures in the cup? The man replied: Because that is his soul, a very important soul. Seeing this, my heart moved, if there was a man like this who answered my little question when I was young, I would definitely fall in love with him. So the little girl pleaded with tears: don't kill everyone, don't kill him, this is my story too, I love him. I was deeply moved by it. This is a fairy tale, a fairy tale that children can believe in.

    The whole movie is alternated between the story he tells and reality. In the end, they can't distinguish between reality and story. They are completely involved in the play, both for the people in the play and for their sorrows and joys, and I am also fully involved in the play, and also for the play. The people and the people in the play are sad and joyful (how wonderful). In the end, they finally found the courage to live again. The stuntman changed the ending of the story for the little girl and also changed his life. I really like fantasy and true stories, like

    Gorgeous surreal comedy. 1. Many sensory blockbusters pursue realism with special effects, but this film presents an imaginary world with real-life shooting. It was shot in 28 countries and regions, with various ethnic groups gathered, and the costumes are also blue, red, green, yellow, black, white, purple and orange. . 2. Meta-narrative works, telling stories intermittently, like [One Thousand and One Nights] or serialization of novels, not only have real characters projected as characters, but also change and adjust subsequent stories according to the interaction of listeners/readers, and the author intervenes with Domineering. 3. The dream mechanism and psychoanalysis template are not only the projection, reprocessing and compensation psychology of real characters and their behaviors in (day) dreams, but also the male protagonist's experience of shaking, spinning, dizziness, and slow motion in the story. The combination of physical stimulation and dream perception, the dream montage full of fear, disorder and jumping after the little girl fell into a coma for the second time is also a highlight. 4. A meta-movie commemorating the stuntman of the silent era, and finally, the projection lights come on, and Buster Keaton's daring and startling action images flow out. 5. The tears of despair of Lee Pace and Kaitinka Antaru, so moving. (8.5/10)
