What dreams may come

I have previously talked about "The Fall".

I saw the movie (finally) and fell in love with it. The folks I watched it with were not as enamored, but it may have had to a lot to do with the stop-start nature of our viewing and a tendency to judge the movie before it even began.

Much better writers than I have captured the essence of movie. If not for anything else, at least for the visual style of story-telling, this is a must-see. I have not seen a better-looking movie than this, ever. And the music that was used throughout the movie was Beethoven's 7th symphony, 2nd movement (one of my favorite pieces of music).

Here are some other sources of information on "The Fall".

a) The official website of the movie has some still photos worth preserving as screen-savers.

b) Roger Ebert raved about the movie on his website.

... Tarsem made one of the most astonishing films I have ever seen. It is all the more special in this age of computer-generated special effects, because we see things that cannot exist, but our eyes do not lie, and they do exist, yes, they really do.

c) An intrepid blogger Moriarty goes in-depth with Tarsem, the director of the movie, in this no-holds barred interview (yes, there is some salty language in there). His fellow blogger "Capone" conducted a two-part interview. Here's part 1, and part 2 of the interview.

d) If bloggers aren't your cup of tea, here is the Washington Post on Tarsem's long but strange journey to make the movie.

e) Finally, the New York Times weighs in on this astounding movie.
