Free Fall - Freier Fall
mariska:
I googled freier fall (i`m a little obsessed too) and found this forum. You wrote that you want to discuss this movie. Well, so do I, it`s just that writing in English is a little difficult for me because I can`t express myself the way I want to. I tried google translator but that`sreally a mess :o.
About Max: you`re totally right. He is a great actor and really gorgeous. I saw Napola twice. I thougt it is a very good movie and Max acting is great. There are indeed some heavy moments in this movie, but it`s worthwile (?) watching. I must say, Max looks very young in the movie and I like him more as he is now. More mature, more sexy. I also saw die Welle and a recent movie Heiter bis Wolkig. This was a really great movie and shows a different side of max. And he looked really gorgeous in this film. Oke, I could talk all day about Max but enough now.
I saw brokeback mountain too and I think it is a great movie with a very emotional ending. I also like Jake and Heath a lot but i did not see the chemistry Marc and Kay had. And that makes free fall my favorite.
I have read a lot of background info about freier fall and Max (Max again ::) and Hanno and interviews and stuff. I think it is really beautifull that they are such close friends in real life. Both say that they did not want to do this movie with someone else because they have a chemistry in real life (not sexual I guess because they both are straight). Don`t you think that`s cute? I think that`s why they are so good in this movie, their great acting skills but also their real friendship.
I agree with you about Marc being upset and confused. And you`re right, even though he is not always nice to Kay, it`s understandable and I could feel his emotions, it is just so sad for Kay. Anyway, both are great actors and very handsome.
Well, I come back tomorrow. Good night for now.
mariska:
Just one more thing. You said you would have liked some more dialogue between the guys. So did I but on the other hand: it was all the non verbal that made it so intense. The sexual tension, the looks at each other, the expression on their faces. And their love scenes, growing from sexual to real love (I know I don,t say this right but I hope you understand what I mean).
Without words telling a beautifull love story. Again, great actors both of them.
I think you are right about Marc and that he did love Kay. I remember now the way he looked at him.
morrobay:
Now that I think about it, you're so right about less dialogue making it more intense, and I understand exactly what you're saying: "without words, telling a beautiful love story" - yes.
I have read a lot of the reviews of the movie, I had to use google translate for the German ones, and one of them said that every time one of them took a drag on a cigarette you just knew he was thinking about the other, and it's so true.
I may give Napola a try; I knew Max was much younger then, and he has only gotten better with age!
CellarDweller:
Nice to see you both discussing this movie, and I"m glad you both liked it.
Welcome Mariska!

Glad I'm not the only one who's obsessed! It's easy to lose yourself in a movie as well-made and well acted as this one.

Your express yourself very well, I understand all the feelings your write about. and yes, google translate is not so good, but at least I can read and understand a little of the written reviews from the German press, so that's good.

LOL about talking about Max all day! I understand that! I wish more of his movies had English subtitles, I would like to see Heiter bis Wolkig. I read a few reviews and saw pictures at the premiere, looks interesting.

Very interesting that you found more chemistry between Marc & Kay - and I think you may be right. I think some of it has to do with the time and place. And there is so much more physical contact between them than there is in Brokeback. We actually get to see the relationship evolve and get stronger for a while, but, like Brokeback, "society" rules.

Yes, I think it's wonderful that they have such a close, personal friendship that enables them to give so much to the film. It can't be easy to do something like that; even in this "day and age" it's still difficult to portray such a fierce sexual love as they did - especially being straight.

Yes, it's very sad for Kay. He is so open and ready to give so much, but Marc is just not ready yet.

I look forward to many more discussions about the movie and the actors, thank you.
