walk the boundaries of life

The difference between a genius and a lunatic is that, in addition to his extraordinary power of rubbing, a genius can understand things correctly within their own context. Geniuses are able to spot patterns that exist in reality, while lunatics are forced to create patterns, projecting false perceptions into every environment, substituting delusions for facts. The tightrope in the cloud is more like the boundary of a dream. It is ethereal and clear, which makes people truly feel the multi-dimensional and unity of their own soul, without anyone's attention and judgment. But the boundaries of real life are full of contradictions and conflicts. "Legislation needs a nation of angels" (Rousseau). People use colored glasses to look at everything around them, including stupidity and madness. We have been immersed in it for a long time, and we have become accustomed to it. It is abnormal to pursue our dreams. It's fools and lunatics.

    Zemeckis has a unique combination of comedy, crime and adventure. The progress in the first half of the film is not convincing enough, but it does not affect the tightrope sequence to become another spectacle of film technology. Philip paid homage to New York with ease, and couldn't help but sigh - what a wonderful moment!

    People who are paranoid to this level are still worthy of admiration.

The Walk quotes

  • Philippe Petit: I find myself in the middle of the wire. And I feel the void. And although a wire-walker should never look down... I do. And it was... It was beautiful. It was calm and beautiful, and serene, and "not-dangerous."

  • 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.
