The Fall (Tarsem Singh)

The Fall is a beautiful movie and not only did the locations they filmed at were beautiful but the way that Tarsem Singh had filmed it created lots of different meanings. If this movie was made directed at me the message I got from it was that the story and way you perceive it is within the mind of the beholder. This would apply to my work since the message that I may put into my art may be different than how the audience may view it. What I took away was that sometimes the effort and process adds beauty to the movie. When I found out how Tarsem took 20 years to look for locations it was incredible how many years he had dedicated to this project and it seems to be something that is very close to his heart since not only did he dedicate so many years but the way he created a certain atmosphere while filming. The most amazing thing I found out about in reading up about this movie would be the fact no one knew that Lee Pace could walk except for Tarsem and Lee himself. It was genius that no one in the crew knew because it would have had a different affect on the way people would treat him and how the little girl would have acted, which is also another amazing part finding out how she had improvised most of the scenes and was just herself. After watching this I most definitely  want to go to all of these places (in the blog below you can see where it was filmed) and especially India and I really want to find this movie to watch it again.
