It turned out to be pretty good :) The first half is light and funny, with a French style of mime; the second half is also exciting, and the feeling of crossing the line at the end is indescribably spectacular. The story is a little general and 囧Joseph has the feeling of having his own BGM, but the effect is too realistic (I really think it scares me when things fall!). Four stars~

Papa Rudy: Most wire walkers, they die when they arrive. They think they have arrived... But they are still on the wire. If you have three steps to do, and if you do those steps arrogantly... if you think you are invincible... You are going to die!
