Looking for nice scenery is something you — or at least I — don’t remember about days, months, years later. Sure, I might think to myself, “Man, that movie was really good! Oh, and the scenery was nice too. So anyway…”
I thought of films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Brokeback Mountain because I can picture them both having really great scenery, but I can’t actually remember anything specific from either film. Then I remembered hearing that according to Tarsem, all the locations shot in his film The Fall were on location and weren’t digitally enhanced in any way, which I found really surprising and, if true, pretty amazing. There are some fantastic color schemes in the film that look too amazing to be real, like the little town of blue houses, incredibly highlighted and bright against the background.
For all those who haven’t heard of the film, it’s a really great one. Take my word for it. Here’s the trailer:
