The Fall: Alexandria



I just watched a movie called The Fall. It was sooo good, I sobbed for like 20 minutes. It takes place in an early 1920s hospital, with Alexandria, a little girl who works at an orange orchard and fell from a ladder while picking oranges. She has a broken arm, but she wanders the hospital as if it is her playground. Overseen by Nurse Evelyn, Alexandria is happy there. Then one day by chance Alexandria meets Roy, an injured stuntman recovering from a radical stunt and a broken heart. And he begins to tell her a story, about bandits and princesses and sword fighting and the movie takes on a whole new element.

I loved this movie, it is now one of my favorites. I've been in love with Lee Pace since Pushing Daises, but to see him in such a moving role was amazing. I would have given him an award for his performance, it was incredible, I just wanted to hug him the entire time.


But the true star of the movie was Catinca Untaru the little girl who played Alexandria. Her emotions were so real and she was so unbelievably cute. You can't help but immediately fall in love with her.


Anyway, if you're looking for something different to watch, you should go for The Fall by director Tarsem Singh. It is so beautiful!
