Outside of being a hilariousBarbiefollow - up for Gosling , The Fall Guyaims to call forth cognizance of the exceptional and sacrificial workplace done by stuntmen and stuntwomen throughout the story of the entertainment industry . Stuntmen and stuntwomen by nature are the unsung heroes of film and televisionwho are meant to be inconspicuous by design . Their lone purpose is to do the hard oeuvre and dangerous stunts , primarily in action moving-picture show , so that the A - list actors and actress do n’t have to , and their contributions are invaluable to the overall product .

Not only does it attain this pointedness by include real - life stunt doer in the movie , and featuring Gosling as a resilient , last - defy stuntman in the lead role , but it also mentions the lack of recognition in the moving-picture show itself . Director David Leitch ( Atomic Blonde , Deadpool 2,Bullet Train ) was also a former stuntman himself , which form the substance even more resoundingly designed and palpate . SinceThe Fall Guyis Gosling’sBarbiefollow - up , the point is fundamentally ineluctable .
Before the start ofThe Fall Guy , Leitch and Gosling take a minute to speak to the interview directly , thanking them for seeing the film as it ’s meant to be seen in field , but also stress the invaluable worth of stunt worker and their unacknowledged legacy throughout the history of Hollywood . The account of stuntwork is also seen throughoutThe Fall Guy , with Leitch optioning to do some stunts , such as a fall from a helicopter later in the celluloid , the one-time - fashioned direction .

The Fall Guy Is Further Proof That The Oscars Need A Best Stunts Category
The Fall Guyhas made a loud call for representation at the Academy Awards
WithLeitch being a stuntman turn director , he is a scramble example of what is arguably the most unmarked section in all of film and television . The Fall Guybrings this message front and center without overdo it , making Gosling ’s stuntman character fun and unserious while still present him as a full - corporate , and highly altruistic , human being .
