One of the reason I made a blog was to give my review on one movie, that I only watched because of my sudden undying love for Lee Pace. I was on IMDb and was checking out all movies he has ever been in, and watching the ones I thought were interesting, when I found The Fall.
If I was talking to someone who has never seen a movie in their life, I would show them The Fall, because it has everything. From action to romance, to beautiful landscapes, lovable characters, and characters you will love to hate. This movie covers everything someone who has never seen a movie should watch, and if you're someone who has seen it all, but not yet The Fall, then you should see it, because I can guarantee to you, you have not yet seen anything like this.
Starting with the basics, the story and the characters. The opening credits will tell you how Roy Walker (Lee Pace), a stuntman, was paralyzed from the waist down. Then you'll meet Alexandria, a little girl with a broken arm. These two meet accidentally, in the hospital they are both patients. Roy promises to tell her an epic story, if she comes back the next day, and she agrees. What Alexandria doesn't know is that, he's depressed, and he's using her innocence to manipulate her, and try to get her to bring him medicine so he can kill himself.
The story he tells her features five amazing, mythical heroes, with completely different background and ethnicities, who are all together on a quest for revenge against the governor. The director claims that there are no visual effects on this movie [source], but after watching it you'll find hard to believe this, because it looks so surreal. But The Fall took four years to be filmed, and the cast and crew filmed it in twenty-eight different locations [source].

And if all this is not enough to convince you this is the best movie ever made, because perhaps the soundtrack might not be all that? Well, I am happy to inform you that the theme for his movie is Beethoven's Symphony No. 7. Not artistic enough, is it? Well, the cinematographic poster for this movie, is based on a Salvador Dali's painting"1935_03_Face of Mae West Which May Be Used as an Apartment" [source]
Watching The Fall is not just sitting down for a movie, but entering an magical world, made purely out of real imagination. As I always say, this movie is an cinematographic experience. But if you're still not convinced at how amazing this movie is, feel free to check out the trailer, maybe watch the movie, and leave a comment:
