< The Fall (film)

The Fall (film)/YMMV


  • Complete Monster: Odious seems to enjoy causing misery and despair, only because he can do it.
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: See Facing the Bullets One-Liner below.
    • Kaboom.
  • Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Meta example: one of the chief reasons this film was created was that the multi-billionare behind it wanted to film at the UNESCO World Heritage sites, giving them both the money from letting him film there, and a broad cut of publicity, showing the world how awesome these places he loved were
  • Crowning Moment of Funny: Odious and the sword cane. A Black Comedy example.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: Beethoven's 7th symphony (second movement).
  • Fridge Brilliance: The more you look at the fantasy part of the story, the more you realise exactly how perfectly it fits a child's imagination of the story she's being told.
  • Jerkass Woobie: Roy.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Stop-motion is the creepiest way to depict a fever dream.
  • Romantic Plot Tumor: Very, very, very subverted.
  • Tear Jerker: Most of the second half of the story.
    • WALLACE!!!
    • The Mystic's death is very unsettling - viciously kicked about and hacked to death while chanting his magic word in the hope that the pain will go away.
  • What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?:The reviewers like to compare this film with The Princess Bride, without mentioning the amounts of violence and adult themes that this film had. Not to mention that the narrator of "the delightful fairy tale" wants the little girl assist him to kill himself.
