Everyone has that pure dream in their hearts

Everyone had a pure dream when they were young, maybe it was to be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, maybe to become an astronaut, a navigator, or a pilot, etc. What makes Philip different from most of us is that he , made this seemingly unrealistic dream come true (even 8 times).

Judging from the film, the realization of this dream is really due to the right time, the right place, and the people, all of which are indispensable. When he saw Philip and his companions fixing the wire rope outside the railing, he never felt that his fear of heights was so serious, but when he took the first step on the wire rope and put everything around him, Even if the camera is facing the ground, I am not afraid at all. Maybe I have some kind of resonance with him at this moment.

The twin towers fulfilled Philip's dream, but finally fell to the clutches of terrorism. It is ironic to think about this comparison.

The Walk quotes

  • News Reporter: Why did you do this?

    Philippe Petit: There is no "why." Just because. When I see a beautiful place to put my wire, I cannot resist.

    News Reporter: [narrating] The story of my adventure was in the news all over the world. In France, when Papa Rudy heard of it, he was the happiest Papa Rudy in the world. And when Papa Rudy's angry, he's deadly angry. But when Papa Rudy's happy, his dogs get a double ration of food.

  • Jean-Pierre: You know Philippe, the Towers seem different. They're different now.

    Barry Greenhouse: That's right. They're different because you walked up there. Every New Yorker I talk to now says they love these towers.

    Annie: [looking up at the towers] Perhaps you brought them to life, Philippe - given them a soul.
