The Fall

The Fall taught me that you can't just do something just because someone tells you to, you have to have your own ideas and opinions and you should always have a say in your life. I think that this came up a lot during the film. Roy was a stuntman, so he made his living off of doing dangerous things. He paralyzed himself while doing a stunt that could've killed him. Even though that's his job, there should've been more precautions. That's just one of those times where it would've been better to say 'no.' Another time was when Alexandria was tricked into getting Roy morphine with the story. She got hurt herself when she was trying to help him. At the end, when Roy is finishing the story, she brings herself in so that she could save the remaining characters, because she didn't want them to die. She needed to imput her own ideas to save them. In this way, assuming that Tarsem Singh made The Fall specifically for me, he might've been trying to tell me that it's okay to say "No, I'm not doing that" or "I think we should do it like this" once in while, but also listen to other ideas like Roy did towards the middle with Alexandria. Usually it makes out for a better story.
