The movie I watched this week was "Walking in the Clouds".
This is a biographical film about a legendary tightrope walker who walks the tightrope of the Twin Towers in New York. The film begins with the male protagonist standing on the Statue of Liberty and narrating himself, starting from his interest in tightrope walking in childhood, how to establish his dream of tightrope walking at the Twin Towers in New York, and how to learn skills and hard training from old artists , how to go from the failure of the first performance to the budding star at the Cathedral of Notre Dame, how to form a team and make preparations, to the thrilling tightrope and the final successful walk.
The story is simple and straightforward, and everything is expected from start to finish, which is perhaps an inherent shortcoming of biopic films and the way they are told. But I still watched it with relish, and I couldn't help but sweat for them in the clips of hiding people's eyes and eyes, trying to build a tightrope, walking on a steel lock, paying homage, kneeling, turning around, and lying flat.
This is a movie about dreams. The male protagonist has a wealthy family, but he is intent on walking the tightrope, disregarding the opposition of his family, and leaving home empty to pursue his dream, just like "The Moon and Sixpence". Tightrope walking in the Twin Towers is an extremely dangerous, difficult and unfamiliar activity. The male protagonist united a group of like-minded people with firm belief and crazy actions, and finally realized his dream despite all odds. The film is full of positive energy, calling for the realization of dreams. The successful walk of the male protagonist is one, and the ending is that the female protagonist returns to France, which is another. The Americans rebuilt the Twin Towers after 9/11 and it is another.
When I watched the movie, I was also very excited. I was thinking of finding a dream and working hard to realize it, to feel the sense of accomplishment of that dream's success. It's just that I recently read Mr. Lu Xun's article "What Happens After Nora Leaves", thinking about what the story will be like after the dream is realized? The male protagonist successfully walked through the tightrope in the Twin Towers and reached the pinnacle of his life. What will he do in the future? A person who has a dream, after realizing his dream, will he create another splendor, disappear into the crowd, or fall into darkness? This is a biographical film, but the film does not give the whole life of the male protagonist. I am very curious about his follow-up story.
The director of this film is the famous "Forrest Gump" Robert Zemeckis, the male protagonist is the well-loved 囧 Joseph, but my favorite is the female protagonist, not because of acting or other, purely because of the female lead The Lord is so beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful. The male protagonist just tricked his dream into the beautiful protagonist in the rain. The female protagonist also gave up her dreams for him, accompanies him to train and accompany him on adventures, and stands firm by his side no matter what difficulties he encounters. Really envious of the dead. Ah ah ah ah. Fortunately, in the end, the heroine turned around and left to pursue her dream, hahahaha.
PS. There seem to be very few domestic biographical films. Do you have any recommendations for children?
