The Fall

We close out our final theme of the season with the 2008 film The Fall, about a young girl who strikes up an unlikely friendship with a movie stuntman recovering from a fall in a hospital in 1915 Los Angeles.  Karl’s shakeup was that his pick had to include a fantasy element, and that comes into play as the stuntman tells the little girl a story about revenge, and her imagination fills in the details. 

The film was directed by Tarsem, who also directed some notable music videos, so we talk about some of our favorite music videos. We also talk about reading books to our own children and what kinds of stories they enjoyed.
