Free Fall - Freier Fall
Emma:
Oh my, I have quite a lot of remarks and questions. I apologize in advance if those have all been already discussed here. Although I have read through the thread, I may very well have missed something.
First: It seems odd to me that in the very first scene, Marc tries to catch up to Kay - I mean he must know he is not the best runner, so why use up all your stamina trying to be the fastest?
Then, regarding the following scenes at the „academy“: Why is Marc so violent towards Kay - there had been no reason for this up until now? They practice these police things (attacks, something like that - well I don’t know much about it), and the violence in that scene is the reason why they have to meet with their boss. I’m thinking maybe something happened before the film, or least we could imagine something going on between them which provoked these scenes?
Maybe I’m just reading too much into this film…
The scene after the first sex: Kay says „Schön war’s.“ and somebody here translated it to „It was beautiful.“ whereas the original subtitle says „It was nice.“. For me, „It was beautiful“ doesn’t quite meet what Kay was saying. I mean, word-wise (I don’t know a better expression) it does. But the tone for me wasn’t as romantic, so „I liked that.“ would be my suggestion. Any opinions on that?
I guess there’s more questions to come.
Best, E

I read that as simply Marc trying to be friendly to the "new guy" or even perhaps push him a bit.
I read the 2nd setup ... having a bit trouble recalling.. do you have a time mark? I'm guessing that some of the anger is Marc realizing he may be attracted to Kay or there's something more there and he's pushing back in the only way he knows.

Hi Vincent,
I think the scene Emma is referring to is near the beginning when they're practicing as a group, and Marc pushes Kay to the ground. There really isn't much explanation for it, other than the fact that Kay is faster than Marc in running, maybe Marc's way of putting him down, so to speak.
It's also after Kay is still in bed when Marc is leaving their room, and Kay says something about the early bird catching the worm. Maybe Marc took offense to that. I don't think he was attracted to Kay at that time. Opinions/comments? Still things to talk about with this movie.
Val:
Sorry, I'm not an English speaker, but I would like to participate.
I think at that moment Marc was already attracted to Kay, but he still did not understand it. I understand: when Kay was around he felt threatened and thought that this threat was due to Kay's physical superiority, but in fact the threat was the attraction he was beginning to feel for him.
I hope you understand what I wrote.

Hi Val,
I understood what you wrote, and you make a valid point. Marc may have been attracted to Kay from the start.
