The Fall is a film featuring two main characters, Roy and Alexandria. The film[‘]s black and white opening scene introduces us to Roy and also prevails [presents?] his injury while acting as a stunt man in silent films. Alexandria on the other hand, had fallen and is suffering a broken her arm. The cripples find each other within the hospital where Roy begins to tell Alexandria an epic story, a story which brings color into their dull, sick lives. Throughout the movie, the fantasy world of the story and the reality of Roy and Alexandria’s life [lives] begin to mesh into one, and through this, it is evident that they’re friendships [their friendship] with each other is what brings the color and life back into one another’s once lonely lives. The film begins with Roy’s fall while working as a stuntman for black and white films. Not only is the colorless, silent film making it evident that the film is taking place in a time before colored film existed, perhaps the 1930’s, the black and white is significant to the scene because that is when Roy becomes crippled, which in a sense takes the color out of his life. After that scene, the film then cuts to a beautiful mansion, which happens to be the hospital Roy and Alexandria are resided at. Outside of the hospital, we are shown both vibrant cool and warm colors, the bright blue sky, the intensity of the orange in the oranges and greens in the landscaping, which makes it appeal as a happy, lively place. When the scene shoots to inside of the hospital, it is complete opposite from the outer [outside]. Depressing shades of cool colors such as greens and blues, tell us this is not a happy place. Green is the universal color of illness, and seeing the green walls tells us this is an unhealthy place and also gives a completely different feel from the warm vibrancy of the colors we had just seen outdoors. The friendship of Roy and Alexandria begins when Roy calls her over. The lack of color within the scene reveals their lonely lives, and it becomes obvious to the audience that their friendship is exactly what they were both looking for at such a depressing time. When Roy begins to tell Alexandria the epic story, we are introduced to a whole new scene. Orange sand against a pure blue sky makes it obvious we are no longer in the hospital scene, and due to the color, there is now a sense of life within the film. The fantasy story that Roy is telling Alexandria is full of color, for example, within the stories [story’s] characters. We are introduced to 5 [five] men, all with their very own color schemes. The colors of their outfits represent who they are as people, for example, Luigi, the explosive expert, is dressed in warm colors which represent the explosion, yellows, oranges, reds. Throughout the film, the story continues each day that Roy and Alexandria spend together. The more it continues, the closer they become, and that is when they reach the point of their depressing lives becoming a part of their fantasy world. Alexandria is forming a fatherly [daughterly] love for Roy, while Roy on the other hand is using Alexandria for all the wrong reasons. The scene in which Roy asks Alexandria to steal him morphine, the white bedding and sheets surround the entire scene, letting us know that Roy has no life to him, and no emotion while making Alexandria do something to feed an unhealthy habit. When Alexandria injures herself trying to steal morphine for Roy is when their relationship within the fantasy story goes into full throttle. The story becomes based upon Roy trying to fight his addiction, telling Alexandria he wants to die. Within that scene, the vibrant colors that are always apparent within the story are fully based around them, representing the meaning and life they have brought upon one another. While Roy is being drowned in the pool, in reality, he is drowning from his alcohol abuse, but Alexandria fights against him, and saves him from his addiction. The final scenes of their friendship prevailing shows mostly all their interacting within the fantasy world, often cutting to short clips in the colorless hospital, which represents how they are fighting to bring one another back to life and out of loneliness. After their epic story has come to a happy ending for the two, the scene of the room of people watching Roy perform in his black and white silent films introduces Alexandria to the memory she will forever have of her new friend. Alexandria is healed and working in the fields, which are full of greens and oranges, showing how she has been brought back to her life. Throughout this scene, she has the memories of Roy by watching him perform in his black and white films. Alexandria, now back in her colorful and vibrant life, watching the black and white films of Roy as a memory portrays the colorless life she came from, and how they had saved each other and brought one another back to their lively selves.
