The Fall



From the exquisite classical soundtrack, odd sound-effects, the darling loving eyes of a child, to the magnificent cinematography and grace in which it was executed in; I am happy to say I’ve found another wonderful film to add to ‘Journey with Jair’s’ list of favourite films! J

Writers Dan Gilroy, Nico Soultanakis and Tarsem Singh all came together to adapt the original 1981 story by Bulgarian Valeri Petrov. Directed by Tarsem Singh in 2006, this adventure-drama-fantasy delighted and gripped its audience from start to finish. A story within a story ironic in that films also mimic stories in life, this film shared mythical characters within the imagination of a child. Both main characters Alexandria played by Hungarian prodigy Catinca Untaru and Roy Walker played by passionate Lee Pace shared many things and due to their loss, they were able to form a extraordinary bond and encourage each other.

It goes to show that one may be paralyzed by a fall, or by severe loss, but the heart though it may be fractured and weeping, yearns to be healed once more. Healing can come from a listening ear, a smile of hope, or from the lovely bond of friendship! J

It inspired me, made me laugh and cry…

Certainly ‘Journey with Jair’ recommended!
