Ask yourself, where are you going in this life?

An ad slogan, "When you know where you are going, the whole world will make way for you."

Philip knew he was going to walk a tightrope between the 450-meter high twin towers, so he did it.

People need to watch this kind of film about dreams from time to time. Let yourself be able to emerge from the mud of the muddled life, take a breath of fresh air,

and watch the sky full of stars... The most warm segment is that of Philip and his friends who support him on the grass in the sun. , Set up the steel cable to drill. Sit in a circle and draw a sketch to make a plan. A distant country, two towering towers; a nonsense dream, and a group of youth boiled by dreams.

I don’t know the specific situation of the building, how to sneak through the police to avoid the security, I don’t know whether a steel cable can be erected between the 200-foot twin towers, or if one end of the steel cable can be stepped on top of Wanren. , Can you go to the other end...

This is a real struggle between emotion and reason. Emotion drives people out of vulgarity, and reason pulls people back to safe mediocrity. Life is in this pulling and pulling, swinging forward or backward.

When Philip walked to the node of the first fixed wind rope, he lay down calmly and gracefully like the little dragon girl in a martial arts movie! Below him is a thin steel cable on the abyss and countless ordinary and surprised people. At that moment, looking from the bottom up, in the blue sky far away, that little figure was a bit unclear about the oracle...

Life should have a purpose. It must have a purpose.

Did you have one? Do you have one? Or will you have one...

Man on Wire quotes

  • Sgt Charles Daniels: ...I observed the tight rope dancer... because you couldn't call him a walker... approximately half-way between the two towers. I personally figured I was watching something that somebody else would never see again in the world. Thought it was once in a lifetime.

  • Philippe Petit: As a child, I loved to climb everywhere. I'll let the psychiatrists decide why. Maybe I wanted to escape my time. Maybe I wanted to see the world from a different perspective and I was an explorer at heart. Who knows and who cares? But I was a little climber. And nobody, not my parents, not the teachers, nobody could stop me.
