But I'd rather say Philip Pat.
In fact, I still don't quite understand and agree with the value of walking a tightrope between high-rise buildings, such as climbing the outer walls of high-rise buildings, parkour and so on. I don't know what's the value of this kind of behavior - of course, I know it's really cool, it can show us the limits of the human body, give those who participate in the adrenaline rush and relaxation after that, etc. But I think that the value is reflected in the otherness, I don't think walking a tightrope has any meaning to other people, like in the movie, after watching Pat's wonderful performance, everyone applauds and then scattered, it's time to go to work Go to work, go shopping. Because this matter has nothing to do with other people in the first place, and has little value and significance to others and society.
If yes, then one thing, he's letting us know that the phrase "anything is possible" might be true if you insist enough. When Pat told his friends what he thought, everyone thought he was crazy. When he told the customs police that he was using the box of tools to walk a tightrope between the twin towers, the policeman's words and actions were the kind of dismissive and disapproval that he thought he had encountered a lunatic. But Pat doesn't care about that. He had that dream from the time he saw the newspaper in the dentist's office, and he worked hard to turn it into a reality step by step. Even when he worked hard enough, even all kinds of opportunities began to mature gradually, and he would meet a bunch of people who helped him realize his dream.
He reminds me of Adam, my roommate in graduate school. Adam is an ambitious man. At that time, he had always wanted to start a radio station on the school's campus network. I think his idea is really good, but I really don't think this idea will come true. In a closed and strict public opinion environment like the military academy, there must be suitable people to host and plan, and a large amount of money is needed to purchase hardware equipment... There is no sign that this idea has any chance of success. But Adam did it seriously. He went to the leader of the graduate department to formally apply, went to a senior from a family with a strong background to lobby, and went to the graduate team to plan the program with like-minded classmates. It turned out to be a success, the radio station was located in our dormitory, and I watched it grow from nothing with my own eyes.
Many things are not impossible, but we are not working hard enough.
