A lot of time when I watch a movie, people seem to fall a lot. Not even necessarily action flicks or adventure films, just normal everyday movies. Whether they’re tripped, pushed, stumble, or a chair breaks, etc, people seem to fall much more than in real life.
I used to think nothing of it. Hell, sometimes it would make me laugh. Bill Murray, slipping on the wet floor as he’s leaving the restaurant in Scrooged. Hilarious! Lately, though, I see someone fall in a movie or TV show, and think “God, that looks painful.” Also, these actors sometimes have to do many takes, of falling. No thank you.
