This, my dear, is some truly spectacular crazy shit. I didn't think Lee Pace could be hot in a long sleeveless man-dress, but you proved me oh-so-wrong. Hawt!

When I first watched the vid I thought of it as Bootystyle's similarly fucked-up sibling. But now upon rewatch I'm seeing it much more as a strangely beautiful and moving tale, full of fairytale monsters, heroes and villains underpinned by the friendship between the sick man and the little girl. It feels a lot more innocent than Bootystle in a lot of ways, though no less beautiful. It's a gorgeous vid, and I totally need to hunt down the movie.

Thanks!

I had a desktop wallpaper of the movie on my desktop when I was vidding. My friend saw it and asked if he was wearing a dress. She eventually watched the movie and text me that it was the hottest dress she'd seen since Neo in The Matrix.

Both this and Bootystyle come from the same direct and he uses many of the same crew and locations, so they have a lot in common visually. The Fall is FAR more endearing and sweet, but it still has a screwed up level to it. I had to leave it out because it didn't work, but it's implied that, if anyone, the little girl is in love with the nurse because she brings her into the story as the love interest. The little girl also loves Roy on a level. In real life she kisses him on the forehead, but it's made to look like she kisses him on the mouth in the story.

Watch the movie. Do it DOOOO EEETT. :)

I def got the vibe that the little girl was in love with Roy, so that part wasn't surprising, especially from this director. Definitely planning to watch it soon.

Their relationship is unusual in a lot of ways. I'd almost say she was in love with Roy, but not in the usual way in movies. She was in love with the idea of him as her father. It's difficult to explain because she's in love with him, but I thought it was less about the romantic and more about the attention and connection.

I think you'd like it too.
