is almost a week away.
has a movie that has always been very popular on Douban. It has repeatedly appeared in the Top 20 of real-time popular books and videos:
It is estimated that some friends have already seen it, and that is a new thriller film "Fall" this year. Since the release of
, it has been rated by more than 30,000 people on Douban, and it still maintains a score of 7.3.
, as a low-budget thriller that neither director nor actors have heard of, it's really good to maintain such a score.
This has also become a thriller that deserves attention in the near future.
If you have nothing to do, or you can't keep up your spirits and need a movie to help you wake up, then "Fall" may be a good choice.
because, it really scared me to death!
Of course, my advice is not necessarily so informative.
After all, I am a person with severe fear of heights. I belong to the kind of person who will feel dizzy on a slightly higher escalator, and have to grasp the handrail with both hands; even a raised foot makes me sick, so I naturally have a greater reaction to this kind of movie. Some.
Yes, this is a movie that evokes a strong fear of heights in the audience.
The story of "Falling" is actually quite simple, probably the Douban synopsis has basically explained the story in a few sentences:
Becky ( Grace Fulton ) and Hunter ( Virginia) Gardner ) is a pair of friends who like to pursue excitement. One day, after they climbed a 610-meter-high TV tower, they were accidentally trapped at the top. In the face of bad weather and shortage of supplies, they must try to make People live on dizzy heights.
is probably such a story, a pair of good sisters who like to seek thrills, decided to challenge the abandoned TV tower, and ended up trapped on the top of the tower.
is like a lot of hardship survival thrillers we've seen in the past, either in a cave, or on an isolated island, or a boat (with sharks all around)...
In short, the characters are trapped, surrounded by Full of dangers, they could die at any moment, and the story is about how they survived. The highlight of
"Falling" is that the character is trapped on the tower, and through such a setting, the audience's heart endurance is stimulated as much as possible.
is similar to the picture below:
Yes, they are trapped in such a big place, and it is still a few hundred meters high tower.
Don't tell me I'm stuck on it, just let me go up and stand, I guess I'll just die halfway.
So, since I made up my mind to play the setting of fear of heights, the film is also omnipotent, basically showing all the high-altitude nightmares of people who are afraid of heights, and the whole film is full of various aerial thrills and accidents.
has a feeling that the character is still trying to survive, but as a viewer I have already died 10,000 times.
Anyway, for this kind of film, all the text descriptions are pale, at least during the filming process, I have been repeatedly doing the action of stroking my chest, I really can't stand it.
And the film's focus on fear of heights also makes the film get good reviews.
This film has maintained a freshness of more than 70% in the media evaluation and audience evaluation of Rotten Tomatoes .
At the same time, because the scene is single and the actors don't need any stars, the cost of this film is actually very low, and the production cost is only 3 million US dollars.
After Lionsgate obtained the copyright of the film, it also repackaged and promoted the film so that the film could be released in theaters. To date, the film has grossed nearly 10 million worldwide.
In addition, I saw an interesting little gossip. In fact, "Falling" was an R-rated movie at the beginning, and there were a lot of swear words starting with F in the film. However, in order to be released on a wider scale, the lines and even the mouth shape were changed by technical means. After all kinds of swear words, the final video became PG-13, which is also very interesting.
Anyway, friends who like excitement can still pay attention to this video. After all, this movie is meant to excite you.
is like the previous documentary " Freehand Rock Climbing " or the feature film " Walking in the Clouds ", although it will also evoke your fear of heights nightmares, but those are not thrillers after all, and scaring the audience to death is not the purpose of the film.
"Walking in the Clouds"
But this one is really just how to scare you. The more you are afraid to see it, the more he tries to show it to you.
So, the problem comes out.
, whether in Douban or IMDb, has a lot of complaints about the plot bugs of this film. If you are
, the three most popular comments on Douban on this film are all complaints:
In fact, there are still many bugs in the film. For example, the drone is actually a friend of the heroine, so the heroine’s phone is very large Chances are that you won't be able to install an app to control the drone (if you want to install it, you must first have an internet connection). In addition, if the message fails to be sent, after connecting to the network, it may be necessary to manually re-send the message, and it is difficult to send the message automatically.
There are many more details like this. In particular, vultures do not attack living people, they only eat dead meat.
Of course, this kind of film really can't be too real, after all, the characters have hallucinations at the end. Therefore, we can only watch it as a surreal movie.
That's it, just pay attention to those thrills, just look for the thrills.
Actually, the real problem of the film is not those bugs, but the setting of the two protagonists. Obviously, these two people are the typical example of not dying.
So, I have never called them extreme sports enthusiasts, or free rock climbers. At least from their various behaviors, it is difficult to believe that they are experienced rock climbers, and the whole film has various amateur behaviors.
However, I have seen many professionals spraying this matter, so I will not show my cowardice.
In addition, this film has another plot line, which is the relationship between the two.
At the beginning of the film, the heroine, her boyfriend, and a friend (the second heroine) climbed the rock together, and then the boyfriend died unexpectedly.
Then, there was a setting where two girls wanted to climb a TV tower a year later. I just want to help the heroine forget her boyfriend and get rid of the pain in this way.
However, as everyone guessed, the heroine's friend actually had an affair with her boyfriend.
So, the relationship between the two people trapped in the air is even more subtle.
Of course, this has also become the place where the film has been criticized by many critics: your girlfriend betrays your old-fashioned setting, which is really too old-fashioned. I see there are also comments complaining that this kind of plot still seems to send a message that as long as there are men, it is difficult for women to have strong friendships.
Of course, this is bullshit.
However, if a movie is to be interpreted in terms of intentional references, a TV tower inserted in the air is actually better, because such props can often have other meanings.
And two girls want to climb this tower, it can also be understood as conquering it.
You see:
Hmm.
Of course, that goes a long way.
unless you are particularly willing to do this kind of deep solutionIf you read it, you can re-understand the film from this perspective.
In short, from the perspective of a low-budget thriller, this film is still very watchable.
is very exciting and thrilling, and I think it will make you nervous to the point of stiffening your back.
If you don't believe me, you can try it too.
