Dreams, Partners and a Real Movie

After reading it, I still recall these three words: dream, partner, and a real movie. It seems that this movie has not been officially released in China. I can only say that I was lucky enough to download this movie on a certain website. At first, I just downloaded it in high-definition. Later, I thought it was too good, so I downloaded it again. super clear. The story told in the film is actually very simple. A person fell in love with walking on a tightrope. Later, by chance, he saw the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York, which had not yet been built. In the end, despite all the difficulties, the story of my dream was finally realized. At the beginning of the movie, the protagonist told his life from the first perspective. There is a sentence in it: "The place where my dream began, this is here, New York." At first, I thought the story would be very long. Just found out that I was wrong. . . There are actually only two places: French hometown and New York. The protagonist saw an acrobatic troupe walking a tightrope by chance, and he fell in love with tightrope walking, and practiced with a rope between two trees at home. At this time, there was a scene for his father. His father seemed to be a policeman, look. He was very disappointed when his son was like this, saying that his son was a clown walking on a tightrope. This actually paved the way for the later protagonist to fall out with the family and run away from home. It was just a short shot, and the effect was still very big. Compared to many movies where the protagonist is omnipotent and caring like an orphan, this movie is real. Maybe this is related to the fact that the movie is adapted from the autobiography of the protagonist himself! Then the protagonist secretly went to the acrobatic troupe to try it out for himself (I think this should be the biggest bug of this movie. The acrobatic troupe hasn't left for so long? I said earlier that I just came to this village to perform, okay, If you don't look carefully, you can actually ignore it.) Unexpectedly, the head of the acrobatic troupe of the tightrope walker discovered him, and then the head of the acrobatic group discovered his talent in acrobatics and wanted to train him (the head of the head has a good vision!), but the protagonist does not want to simply be a The performer, he wanted to be an artist, so he left the group leader to perform on the street. By chance, he met the female protagonist who was also performing (guitar playing and singing). Later, the male protagonist caught up with the female protagonist and found a good place. Practice, and then met one of his most important partners. Later, he found that he didn't know the skills of tying the wire, so he went back to learn these skills like the regiment commander (for money). So the male protagonist followed the acrobatic troupe all the way. Once he had a chance, the male protagonist could walk a tightrope on a small lake. The male protagonist confessed that this was the head of the group asking the family to let him try it. It was a simple "request". It reflects the reality of the film very well! After that, the male and female protagonists read the newspaper and found that the Twin Towers were basically completed, so the male and female protagonists went to New York. When the male protagonist saw the twin towers for the first time, he was stunned! He kept shaking his head and said 'impossible, impossible, that' s impossible". In fact, everyone, when they really face his dream and find out how difficult it is, will unconsciously shrink back, and the same is true for the protagonist. I think this is also the "real" embodiment of this movie. .Then the protagonist finds all kinds of difficulties, so he shuttles between France and New York and asks for help and guidance like the head of the group. Originally I thought it was another bug in the movie, but later I found out that I was wrong. Only by going back and forth between the two places can the protagonist take a long time to prepare. After hearing the protagonist's plan, the head of the regiment was very opposed (not blindly supporting, this is "true"), but in the end he still gave the protagonist a lot of help. , and then the protagonist met several partners in New York, and they overcome various difficulties together, and finally realized their dream of walking a tightrope across the Twin Towers. In fact, the story they prepared in New York was particularly fulfilling and exciting, with a compact plot and a good rhythm. It is very good. We also know that not every friend we make is a real true friend. Many are like the kind of friends who find a reason to escape when they encounter danger in the movie. However, there are always The kind of real brothers who live and die with you and share weal and woe! After watching this movie, I really sigh that on the way to pursue our dreams, there are a group of people who are willing to sacrifice themselves and help us realize our dreams with all their heart and soul. What a happy thing it is to be a partner. There is also a "real" detail. When the protagonist walks on the tightrope first, the cars below are still unaffected, and they still come and go normally, only some pedestrians stop. Look up, and it was the heroine who shouted. This is a small detail that makes me feel that the film is the most real. In a big city like New York, if you shout on the street, there will be no echo. You go on a tightrope, even if it is Jumping off the building, many people are not in the mood for you! He cares if you live or die, in the eyes of those people, only himself! Finally, the heroine unexpectedly left New York to go back to France, and said to the hero, "You have finished you dream, now, I'm going to pursue mine! "I thought it was a happy ending, but this scene came. I can only say, real! Real human! After watching this movie, although it is not from IMAX, the high-altitude walking in the movie still suffocates me very, very much. Yes. The protagonist's stubbornness and madness, firmness and fulfillment in order to realize his dream really shocked me and touched me a lot. The protagonist's partners paid and understood for his dream, the real details in the film The real characters, these, and so on, just one word after reading: Good!

The Walk quotes

  • 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!

  • Philippe Petit: [atop the south tower for the first time] I find myself standing on an island floating in mid-air... at the edge of the void. And of course, I automatically look at the opposite tower. But now, I had to dare... to look... Down. Now I know what the void is. I'm a wire-walker. The void is my domain. But not this void. But somehow I gather the strength to whisper, whisper so the demons won't hear. It's impossible... But I'll do it.
