Just what I expected
just watch it!
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
I thought this movie would be interesting (base largely on the "loved it/hated it" reviews on this forum), but instead felt it was pretentiousness wrapped up in the Freudian wish fulfillment of its writer/director/lead actor, Eric Shaeffer.This whole movie seems to be Shaeffer's tribute to his own ego- of course the world's most beautiful woman would find him to be fascinating! It's kind of like a Woody Allen film in that sense, but without any of the humor or talent.Kudos to Shaeffer for making an ambitious independent film, but it just reminded me of an arrogant "artist" trying to show the world how awesome he thinks he is.
Ladies and Gentlmen, whoever said that movies had to be completely based on reality.. but on the possibility that regardless, of the Taxi Cab & Supermodel "Reality".. The passion.. the feeling of intensity.. of wanting and needing someone.. yet beyond just beyond the grasp of your reality.. The romance is exquisite and I recommend this intense piece as a "must see" for lovers.. die-hards and for those who want to re-live the intensity of a past love.. a long-ago love.. or to those that wish for something this intense.. I too, have experienced this type of love.. this.. amazingly erotic.. passion beyond words.. unrequited love.. I have to quote Stefan d. Wenger, "Eric Schaeffer is truly a poet, and the poetry of his characters AND of his direction and acting make this movie just as literate and philosophical as it is sexy and risqué" & "with a bevy of brilliant and memorable lines. As for the film's thematic foundation, watch this movie if you believe in romance, in falling in love, in rushing in headfirst and never looking back, in giving your all to one pursuit or one person or one passion... in not insisting on being so awfully safe"... The music is just as intense as the movie.. I wish there was a soundtrack to buy.. it would be in my collection in a snap! I have always loved this film for it's raw and sometimes graphic sexual passion and romance.. This is my favorite Indie film.. If you don't get it.. you haven't lived it.. so keep living life to the fullest and attempt to take a risk now and then.. Peace.. CJ
Fall just goes to show that you can make a great movie, based on a story about emotions and dialog. You don't need the big name stars, special effects, stunts, and explosions. From a male perspective, I thought the movie was very believable. The movie was somewhat similar to my own life. These people that write reviews about hating the movie and how unbelievable it was, are obviously men that have never experienced that kind of passion and love. I can tell you without hurting my ego, that men involved with that kind of love and passion, do cry and do hug their pillow. I have dated models and do write poetry to, for, and about them. The average person holds this expectation of models and actresses that is unrealistic. They are normal people just like you and me. They just happen to look better. Most are really nice and sweet. It's amusing to read the reviews that say how unreal this movie is. If you feel that way so strongly, you have no passion and are most likely a miserable person to be around. This would be why you haven't experienced the love and passion expressed in Fall's story and it's words. It was a really good movie and I would recommend it to anyone.
I worked on the cutting of this film back in the late 90's. My only awareness of Eric Schaefer up until then was from a failed sitcom on FOX and the film If Lucy Fell, in which his key love interests are Sarah Jessica Parker and ELLE McFRIKKIN-PHIERSON! So it wasn't a surprise to see him writing a scenario in which a seductive, poetry- writing, best-selling novelist of a cab driver picks up a fashion model and enjoys sodomy. What does surprise me is that so many people reviewing this movie seem like they are trying to get their words printed on the sleeve of the DVD release! I have never seen more extreme superlatives attributed to a less deserving filmmaker, with as many vague and obtuse explanations as a 4 year old describing seeing the circus for the first time! Maybe it would help if you Eric Schaefer schuper fans used a technique known as comparison, as in: this was the best movie in the world... since Bio-Dome! Or, Eric Schaefer is the best director in the world...compared to a moldy sock! Let's look over some quotes from some of the more adoringly positive reviews:*"this film has THE BEST script of any movie to date." -here's an example of what I refer to as a slightly over zealous review. No need to use a comparison, because apparently there is none.*"a powerful, majestic, romantic and ultimately profound work of art. THAT makes FALL my favorite movie of all time." -Seriously? How many movies has this person seen? 8? "After you see this movie, DO NOT log onto IMDb and vote for it; not yet. This is a movie that grows, and grows, and grows on you, weeks and months after you see it for the first time. " -Ok. This is my favorite. Clearly this person doesn't want you to review this movie on IMDb after you see it because you will more than likely find it laughably nauseating and therefore mock their emphatic devotion to this loose piece of stool.If you read some of the negative reviews, you'll find explanations that indicate a certain degree of insight, with explanations instead of aphorisms and critique of details instead of hyperbolic hype. Sure, you'll find people like me too, who just think the film stinks and wouldn't give up the time of day to tell you why.
