In the documentary, Fly we are guided to this unusual cracking world of extreme base jumpers Just pure jumper’s verticals. It is also filled with breathtaking views of various picturesque mountains, canyons, and riveting moments captured on the GoPro camera which brings us right in the middle of jumpers. This is sometimes exciting with a thrill, at times spine chilling with sounds and visuals of sheer catastrophic accidents.

BASE consists of four types of structural elements from which a person could jump buildings, antennas, spans (bridges), and Earth (cliffs). People depicted in this documentary throw themselves off cliffs or mountain ridges in some of the most breathtaking locations around the globe such as the Albertine Korea, or the Moab in Utah. For these people, the whole Universe for jumpers is unified in just two categories the jump sites and the rest of the world.

Jimmy and Marta are the embodiment of the jumper subculture. None more so than the carefree and spirited Jimmy who tells us how he is the only person who married the woman who taught him The Art of The BASE. Immigrants from Brazil and Italy respectively, fell in love with jumping in the same way they fell in love with each other and decided to create a company with training and equipment. Now they throw a party for the jumpers every summer and call it their jumper version of Burning Man in waiting for at least one multi-kilogram ÄŤuctus to be thrown at it.

Jimmy is especially proud of locating a new and particularly interesting point on the He has the privilege of giving it a name and he says it is called Dragon’s Nest. During the annual celebrations, they make a group photograph and quite frankly state that some of the people in the photograph will be killed in the process of jumping before the next meeting.

Julia and Scott are yet another American/Brazilian couple. They also teach BASE jumping. Scotty, a military guy who has been through hard times, discovered the art of jumping and says that he has jumped at least once per week for the past 9 years. Julia was working as a lawyer but quit to pursue jumping full-time. experiences

Fly does touch on responsibility and risk, or lack of it, in the pursuit of jumping more than Skywalkers: A Love Story which has been released and is currently a competitive film, but possibly not to the extent that it should. BASE jumpers do concede that their sport is selfish, but they also claim to appreciate the risks involved. Some even believe that the pain of loss is felt exclusively by those who remain. We witness the consequences one side of a couple has to go through when the other is gravely hurt

The body cameras and microphones show us spectacular beauty and stunning jumps that seem literally life threatening as well as what happened when things didn’t go to plan and may not even be how we imagined them to be when looking at the other jumpers who seem rather unfazed by the changes. The filmmakers pose a question to two of their subjects what would they like the audience to know in case they never saw the film alive? One of them is willing to answer, It is terribly emotional. He does not choose to ignore the littleness of every moment so not everyone will feel this necessity, but Fly should help every one of us to feel the importance of this idea.
