Drinker's Extra Shots - Fall

Afraid of heights? You will be after you've seen Fall (2022), starring Grace Caroline Currey and Virginia Gardner.

As a bloke who survived falling 74 feet through a factory roof 23 years ago at the age of 19, having 31 reconstructive surgeries, 2 years in a coma, and 5 years learning to walk again, I’ll probably give this one a miss. Great vid as always though pal!

[@StudleyDuderight]

I fell 400-ish feet while rappelling down a cell tower. My equipment malfunctioned and I just took off like a fucking rocket in reverse. The belay man wasn't paying attention but the crew lead heard me saying "fuck fuck fuck" and tensioned the rope just before I hit the ground. I had third degree burns all over my body and sprained my brake hand from trying get stopped. It's not a bad as what happened to you, but it was still pretty bad. Yet, I had no trouble with this movie, or getting back on towers.

The most important outtake from this movie? Always make sure that someone else knows you're going on an adventure, including where you're going and when they should start panicking should things go wrong and you don't return/let them know you're all good.

[@zadarthule]

That is indeed a common advice for all trips into the wilderness.

@nedkelly3436 i slept towards the end

[@keffa1982]

One of the great things about this movie is that the minute it came out half the climbing community on the internet turned round and screamed "But they had a way down all along" (One of them makes a weighted friction descent using the rope looped around the pole to the framed section with the internal ladder) but that is the beauty of the tragedy it portrays. They didn't consider that option because they couldn't see the woods for the trees to some degree. When you are in a high stress situation you don't always see every path before you. Yes the film had other flaws (If you can get reception at the base of the tower you are going to also get it at the top, radio signals go in all directions including up and most cellular signals don't die off till you are about 5000ft in the air) but the fact they did not consider that option was not one of them.

[@Jonathan-ih7qp]

Yup, not even a climber but as soon as I saw that they had enough rope to loop around the pole I thought why don't they just do that. I haven't watched the movie yet, so I had assumed they addressed some reason they couldn't have done this.

[@jwt-nu3ei]

They needn’t had risked that. They could have tied the phone to the drone with the text waiting to send.

[@Power5]

You say that high stress leads to tunnel vision, but if these girls are free climbers, they definitely can cope with high stress situations. I mean they somehow got off the sheer rock face that their friend died on. This was the same type of situation. The first thing they would have thought of after collecting themselves would be to do a friction descent. One girl goes down while other waits at top. I mean it must have been easy to get her from the top anyway, they didn't even show it in the movie. I liked when they flew the drone at semi truck height like it was coming in for a landing on a runway. That and the fact that no one was really driving around the area at all until the exact moment they were flying the drone to the diner. And instead of one girl using the binoculars to be on the lookout, both were glued to the tiny screen.

[@redseven485]

Not a climber and I was wondering if that was possible during the movie! Ha, nice.

This film was proof that a movie doesn't need to be made under a $150M plus budget to be good, it just needs to have an excellent story and great characters the audience can relate to. This was a simple $3M budget movie that I saw at my friend's place and we were at the edge of our seats the entire time and I really got into the story within the story between the two girls. This movie deserved even more success than what it received!!!

It’s funny, you mention that, last year I watched both Doctor Strange MoM and Everything Everywhere. Two films that tackled the same idea which was the multi-verse concept, and somehow the film that only cost $25 million to make was significantly better than the one that cost $200 million. It’s proof we don’t need these massive budgets to make good films.

It has become one of the pleasures of my life to watch the Drinker give a positive review. He spends so much of his time venting his spleen at the shitshow of modern "entertainment" that you can sometime forget his genuine love for the medium and what it can accomplish. His ability to articulate why a great movie is great is 10x more satisfying than when he has to explain why a bad movie is sh*t.

[@twistedtrailerparktales2126]

When I was 16 I did alot of freestyle rock climbing. One day to get around a crevasse I went out on this lump of rock thatbstuck out the side of this hill and got stuck. It was a four feet leap up and I couldn't just slide down because i was off to the side and it was about a 150 foot drop to the trees. It took hours for me to gather the nerve to make the jump and I didn't go rock climbing again until I was 19. This review brought back all that pit in the stomach feelings I had that day.

Having worked in construction in my late teens walking narrow beams on coal fired power plants between 300-1100 feet up, this film is as good as it gets replicating the sick feeling in the pit of your stomach you have to ignore to keep from looking down and tripping. That said, there is a weird phenomenon that happens when you’re that high up- the objects below don’t appear real anymore, and you tend to get careless until something shakes you out of the trance.

[@toothgrinder2760]

I was a tower hand for a cellular company. I climbed mono poles, guyed towers and lattice towers. You’re right, once you’re over a couple hundred feet, everything on the ground looks like a miniature set. The earth has a like a hyper realistic look to it. It’s hard to explain to someone the experience, if you’ve never been that high up, with nothing but a climbing harness between you and the ground ☠️.

[@Waccoon]

My fear of heights is so bad, I have a hard time just looking straight up at the sky. All I can say to people like you is... thank you. Thanks for doing all that scary construction stuff so the rest of us can live our lives in comfort and luxury. Every hard working blue-collar craftsman deserves way more respect than they get, and I always remind myself not to take other people for granted.

[@thejumpingnomad2485]

One idea that came to me was to climb up to the light on top and when it turned on, hold your hand in front of it in the direction of the town and do an SOS with it by covering it and then uncovering it in the pattern of SOS. It's three short pulses of light (cover it, uncover it quickly) and then three slow ones (cover it, uncover it slowly). You would have to wait for the light to turn on again to make it through the fast and slow pulses but it would be seen in the distance and recognized by anyone paying attention. And then maybe wave your hand in front of the light all crazy like as well at certain intervals so people realize a person is up there making the signal and that it wasn't programmed to blink in an SOS pattern.

So yeah, i'm very likely not gonna lean over it just to be pranked by some asshat pretending to push me, no thanks. Or even better, for the railing to give and me actually falling... I consider this a very reasonable fear. So while a chair might not be terribly high, it still makes me feel incredibly uneasy. I can manage to change a lightbulb just fine, that is enough for me :)

[@Gunleaver]

An important thing with this movie, especially in regard to the realism, and the contrast with other movies, is Virginia Gardner, the blonde actress, and her commitment to the role. I have seen Gardner in other things, most notably "Runaways" a Marvel adjacent teen superhero show on Hulu, Project Almanac, where she played the high school girlfriend and one of the newer Halloweens, where she is the babysitter who gets killed for making out with her boyfriend on the job. What I am saying is that she generally plays generic cute teen blondes. She doesn't play action heroes, or athletes, or soldiers, but slender, young women cast for their conventionally attractive looks. And as you can see in the video, she has definitely put on some muscle. She looks like an athletic person who takes free climbing seriously, when that is not her on-screen appearance to date. Okay, yes, her breasts get a lot of the attention, but her character is a social media personality, who posts climbing videos, and deliberately was working the cleavage during the climb in this film, in order to get the views and likes. But for the most part, she is physically believable as an expert climber. This is rather a contrast from the usual run of Hollywood body-positivity shills, who use that as an excuse to thwart the "male gaze" by not working out or dieting for their roles.

[@fruitbat4429]

In Hunter's (aka Danger D's) own words, "Tits get clicks."

I thought she looked a little chunky for a climber to be honest, but I do agree she played her character fantastically.

[@5925-p1b]

No offense, but she definitely doesn't look like an expert climber. Climbers have very little body fat. Just watch a competition, those girls are ripped. The fact that she was free soloing that wall in the beginning suggests that she's not just a enthusiastic amateur either, but a very experience climber. Free soloist are the best of the best and none of them look like her. She looked great, but nowhere near like a climber, especially not an elite one.

False. If you were even a beginner climber you'd know that. These two supposed expert climbers made every moron mistake you could possibly make. Go take a class then watch it again you'll feel fucking stupid for saying that

Anyone that says they don’t fear heights is either obtuse or lying. You have to have a healthy respect for that fear as it will keep you alive.

[@TexZenMaster]

Being afraid of heights is perfectly natural. This rational and instinctual fear is the only reason your family line continued throughout history. Acrophobia is the *IRRATIONAL* fear of heights; such as being terrified of standing on a 12" step stool. People forget what "phobia" means these days because it is improperly used so often.

[@hareth3911]

It was strangely recent years good movie, it reminds me of the good old days of movies .

[@CharlesVanNoland]

Mad props to those ladies for braving heights during shooting. Awesome. EDIT: Apparently people are under the impression that I'm a complete moron who isn't aware that they had safety harnesses and precautions taken for the shoot, when it's clearly visible in the BTS footage. Of course they weren't put in any serious danger, but heights are not something that I've ever been able to handle so it's fascinating and impressive to me whenever anyone can subject themselves to being way up in the air - safety precautions or otherwise.

Not CGI doesn't mean they were shooting at the top of a 200ft tall tower.

[@saitamagotchi44]

Clever camera work and a big ass catch net is far better than CGI for this sort of thing, doesn't matter how tough an actor is if they're 50ft up in the air it's going to affect them which is great for the performance.

They didn’t really brave anything strapped into harnesses and being protected by cranes and safety nets.

I gotta say Drinker, you are absolutely saving mine and my wife's movie nights with our friends! We tried spending an hour picking a movie just off of the trailers and were pretty much 1 for 5. But between this, Puss in Boots, and Dredd we've been loving your recommendations!

Drinker, you could look at The Endless, written by the two guys who play the main characters. They visit the cult they grew up with on a mountain before they escaped. When you finally realize what's going on, it ties together several question marks. It's a clever idea.

[@Activated_Complex]

Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead. They're a great writing team, and work well together as actors. I'd start with their debut, Resolution. So you can see their style evolve. But yeah, The Endless is solid as well.

I'm already terrified of heights (well, not so much heights as of suddenly landing at the bottom of them), so I don't think I could handle it sober, and there's already an embarrassing story of me watching 'Cliffhanger' while drunk. But I'm glad to know that there are gems out there still; thank you for highlighting them.

[@charlottewolery558]

As a fellow acrophobe what's the story with Cliffhanger? As in how hard and how long did you scream with your inhibitions lowered by the booze? With me it probably would have been everyone would need to watch the movie in closed caption, not merely subtitles. They ain't hearing a damn thing.

[@LordBaktor]

"I'm already terrified of heights (well, not so much heights as of suddenly landing at the bottom of them)" That is 80% a Terry Pratchett quote from a Discworld novel ("Sourcery" I believe). When faced with the prospect of having to fly on a magic carpet, one character ask the other if he's afraid of falling and he responds "I have no issue with falling, It's the landing part I'm terrified of" or something like that.

@@Brian-uq4wu It was not on Netflix, and I'd never known the existence of this movie without someone's recommendation. It did not have any advertising, like the movie "The Whale". You have to watch randomly and get surprised, because the odds of watching some garbage is 99 to 1. As a consequence Drinker usually has a lot of 'negative' reviews to share, or I'd say... appropriate reviews. Also, 'Fall' is not any masterpiece, not being in the garbage zone stands out enough to become watchable in a positive light.

Hey Drinker, or anyone else reading this, if you like movies about climbers who go through horrible survival situations AND it really happened, I suggest checking out the 2003 documentary Touching The Void. It's the true tale and recounting of Joe Simpson and Simon Yates trying to descend from Siula Grande in Peru and how it goes horribly wrong. Having looked up and read Simpsons book on what happened after watching this documentary, I was shocked to learn that not only were things even more challenging to survive but even when you think you may be out of dangers way there is always more around the corner. I highly recommend tracking this one down. I have not looked to see if it's streaming anywhere but I hope it is.

[@John_B55]

UK Netflix has Touching The Void, and yes, I found it a truly gripping story.

[@f500raptor]

Absolutely the Gold Standard in climbing films. If you can find it, the extended scenes ("What Happened Next") and the Making-of shorts from the DVD release are well worth watching - getting back to the tent was not the end of the difficulties. All of Simpson's books are fantastic, BTW. "This Game of Ghosts" starts slow but is well worth the read.
