Fall Guy

(Poem 127 for 2024 – I am writing a poem a day)

Jump off a building,
hang out of a plane,
get shot from a cannon;
it sounds insane.
The unknown people
who pull the stunts
deserve to receive
the credit for once.
They make the actors
look like heroes for real
with dangerous magic
and feats surreal.
All the risk,
none of the fame,
light them on fire
to play the game.

  1. An excellent review. This is definitely one of my most anticipated movies of 2024. I’m a huge fan of Ryan Gosling who has proven an excellent actor. He has proven that he can make engaging films in every genre such as comedies, drama and musicals. I particularly adore his performance as a jazz musician that seeks success in “La La Land”. Here’s why I love that movie:

    1. I have not yet seen La La Land even though I love musicals. I guess there is only so much time in the day. That is the only excuse I can think of. I am going to suggest this movie for one of our next movie nights because of your excellent review.

      1. Thanks for the feedback. “La La Land” is honestly one of the best movies I have ever seen. I have seen it over a 100 times and am obsessed with it. If you’re a fan of musicals, please do take the time to check it out.
