The Fall


This movie is very reminiscent of Pans Labyrinth, but with a different touch. It's the story of a little girl and an actor who end up in the same hospital during the 1920s. They befriend each other, and the actor named Roy begins to tell Alexandria an epic story about 5 heroes. Alexandria who has a very vivid imagination yearns to find out what happens. Unknown to her Roy is using her to try to get his hands on morphine and commit suicide. Alexandria being a unsuspecting child proceeds to help in order to finish out the story. The story soon crosses into reality with the help if Alexandrias' imagination. This is by far one most beautifully shot films I've ever seen. It's alot like 300 and pans labyrinth, but much more romantic in the use of colors in shots. I was blown away by its beauty. The plot was at times a little odd and during the first half kinda of bland, but it was tied together very well at the end. I gave this a 9/10
