One Fall

My husband and I found this movie very bizarre.

There was a lot going on in the story that was a little hard to follow. There were too many scenes replayed to make a plot point but not enough of the things that were happening were explained to help the viewer understand. If you were to try to watch this movie without reading a summary of what it was about you'd be totally lost.

I thought the acting was very good. But the problem I had was with the main character. He was quite self destructive. I really wanted to like him, and he really did seem to want to do the right things for other people, he went about many things the wrong way.

I wasn't horrible, just quite.....strange!

James Bond (Marcus Dean Fuller) a man with an unfinished past takes a 200 foot fall off a local landmark. He survives; not only that but finds in the process that he has gained the power to heal people,

As with all people that gain abilities, he must figure out why (if there is a way) and how to handle it. Eventually, he will have to go home and come to grips with whom he is and, in the process, wrap up some unfinished business.

The pace is a bit slow, and it counts on more visual than a verbal description. You get the feeling that this is an independent film.

Similar plots and execution can be found in Resurrección (1980).

Toward end they had to insert GD!!!!! Had to shut it off.

One Fall tells the story of James Bond (I love this…reminds me of a name pun I employed in one of my screenplays), played by Marcus, who miraculously survived a 200 foot fall. After a very brief recovery (that's an understatement), he disappeared from the city of One Fall without explanation. He even left behind his beautiful fiancé. He later returns to One Fall to face the music and use the gift he undeniably has. However, healing people doesn't come cheap. There's that moral dilemma I was talking about two paragraphs above. What would you do if you had this power? Would you exploit it or use it for greater good? James wrestles with this and more as people all around him, even loved ones, start to push him away. They can't understand him. To them, the man who fell never came back. James must come to grip with who he is, why he survived that fall and what he is meant to do in this world with his gift. Again…wow! The story is not only profound in my opinion, but very powerful, deep and touching. (Read the full review at whysoblu dot com)

The premise was great. Some acting left a bit to be desired. I enjoyed it for the fantasy of the story. Directing a movie while also playing the main character is certainly not an easy feat.
