Using "The Wizard of Oz" as inspiration is pretty commendable, throwing in a dash of Gilliam's imagination, and bringing in top talent to take our breath away with its glorious and impressive camera work, art direction, and the magical costumes, "The Fall" is an amazing treat for people who love cinema.

"The Fall" tells the story of a broken heart, and how people cope with tragic moments, how wonders and imagination can flourish in the worst situation, and how children's perspectives can still be colored with hope and a sense of wonder that can overcome almost any type of negative experiences. Their sense of resilience can heal their spirit and, at times, other people's.

"The Fall" takes us on a journey of a child's imagination, as she transforms the tricky storytelling of a hospital patient into a colorful, magical, and quite impressive universe where things are always beautiful, humorous, bigger than life, and as far away from everyday life as they can be. "The Fall" takes the audience into several locations in this planet that can easily qualify as paradise. From its sensation underwater scenes to the marvelous desert battle scenes.

This movie will entertain you, will delight you, will impress you, and most importantly, will make you revisit your own appreciation of the human spirit. It is quite an experience to behold.
