Cult Classics: The Fall (2006) Breakdown 

It took four years to make, locations all over the world and a skill from people willing to trudge through deserts to bring it to celluloid. It’s an art exhibit in the least and it’s simplicity makes it accessible in any decade. I hope they decide to do some kind of anniversary addition because it deserves to be seen.

This is one of my favorite movie. It's really sad it's not more well known. I appreciate you making a video on this rare gem, I hope it inspire other people to watch it

And I want to add that one of the main meaning of the movie is that. " even if you fall, you have to continue" that explains why Tarsem chose to use a stunt with a horse. Because when you fall from a horse you have to go back on it right after, in order to not keep the fear. And this is also why the movie ends with a "thank you" because Alexandria give him the energy to continue after that, to have the courage to continue living. And there is also the metaphore of falling in love. It's not as visible as an injury but surely it hurts and that' s that pain that could have killed Roy. And an other aspect is the power of stories, that allow us to live again some painful moment in our lives, to reach the catharsis and to go through. And yeah, I've just seen the movie and it's surely my favorite one.

I own the blu-ray! Not only the color but the sound filtering in this movie is very minimal, raw, making a unique atmosphere, like just the background sound from the water fountain in the scene where Roy was with the captured princess was raw, unedited yet dreamy, like the sound of water you hear when you're half awake. This movie will be talked and appreciated by more people decades later.

I don't think it's right to say that Alexandria doesn't have any darkness within her. What happened to her father and her home hurt her a lot, which is why Roy's story turning dark distresses her so much (especially since the bandit is supposed to be her father at the start of the story).

I watched this movie when it first became available on DVD, most likely at Blockbuster. As soon as I was able, I bought a copy and have watched it faithfully every year. I loved your breakdown of it. It's one of the more touching movies I own and I especially love the little girl and her seemingly unrehearsed responses to questions in the film. They seem very candid, which makes her character appear all the more real to me. Thanks for the commentary. Well done, sir!

The criterion collection should definitely release a 4K edition of this movie like they did with all Wong Kar Wai movies. I would totally buy it, even if it's overpriced. It's beautiful, everything about this movie is gorgeous, I feel sad that is not more recognized. Actually, I think that, one thousand years of lodging tried (and failed) to capture the charm of telling a story with this kind of visuals.

Shame this guy hasn't made anything near as good as this masterpiece

I was lucky enough for this movie to become one of my dads favorites back when it was on Netflix so he bought a copy before the price went insane

Governor Odious also represents a dark version of Roy. He was his stunt double, so he already plays a version of him. At first, Roy hates him and wants to destroy him, but it's really himself he feels that way about. And at the end, he's fighting Odious, battling with himself on whether or not to kill himself.

This film is The Wizard of Oz of this era.

One of the most underrated and impactful movies I've ever seen.

This is favorite of all time. re-watchable but also heavy. This is the most buetifull movie I have ever seen. I had to watch it on some shady website but it was worth it

Great explanation/ breakdown. This movie is free to watch in full 1080p on RU-vid. Just watched it tonight so it's still there as of late Oct 23. Lovely film, great storytelling and quite dark but gorgeously joyful and beautiful at the same time. A story told from a deeply hurt man but visually seen from the perspective of a child that's also been hurt and seen pain and suffering but she has that abundance of innocence and optimism so through her eyes we get his story of revenge and anger to one of salvation and rescue. Great movie.

I own the blue ray and I was lucky enough to see this in a small local theater. I saw it twice in theater

Your George Lucas story about him changing Star Wars was Very insightful. I now truly understand why his fans were so upset. For me, I just rolled with the artistic reinterpretations.

I absolutely love this film

100% agreed. Such a wonderful special movie. in my top 5. So incredibly inspiring.

You can find the movie on youtube for some reason. One of my absolute favourite movies.

I have three copies 1 from block buster, 1 reg DVD i got on sale at a resale store and 1 new HD DVD that I got before the price went up... I love this movie too much lol

The most beautiful movie ever filmed ...

Criminally underrated movie, honestly. It makes me cry like a baby tho, so I dont watch it often. Ill always watch it at least once a year though!

Wonderful film beautiful in so many ways. If you have the original Netflix DVD mail exchange subscription, you can get The Fall through that service. I watched it 2 weeks ago and sent the DVD back. Query your older friends and find out who maintained their original Netflix. Suggest a viewing party.

So glad I bought this on itunes back in 2008

When I clicked to watch this I was thinking that you were going to review The Cell with Jennifer Lopez. I was so confused for the first few minutes. However, The Fall looks amazing and I plan to keep an eye out for it.

I got an import dvd. Pretty good quality, better than not having it at all.

I bought this movie years ago when it came out. I have it on my iPad. Thankfully, it didn't cost that much back then!

Excellent analysis.

I got it on BluRay for $16 about ten years ago.

Best movie ever!!! Extraprdinary acting, just totally Amazing!!! A must see!

Why are your vitamins in the shot?

This is my all time favorite movie.

Why is this movie so hard to find?

it's literally on youtube

And the stuntmant wen't far in his life, he even became an elvish king and had a son who shot an oliphant!

Morphin3

This movie is not about story telling

The Cell is better. It's just cast with J-lo and that unfunny dude when he tried to be dramatic. Why does everyone ignore The Cell. I looked for it only because of him being Empire. I never liked his acting. Pushing Daisy's ruined it. Foundation brought it back. Thanks for video.
