He went from here to there and back again

As anyone who has seen the film knows, Philip and his team planned for months, worked all night, and ended up walking in front of the Petronas Twin Towers.

Foot injury, dodging the police, comforting a cute boy who is afraid of heights, and fixing the rope are extremely difficult for ordinary people. Even with this technique, I don't have the energy and physical strength. I felt Philip's excitement, and he definitely didn't feel tired. , at the moment when he stood on the north tower with his left foot, he seemed to know that he had succeeded. He was not trying to overcome the fear of challenges to calm himself, but to suppress the joy of success to calm himself. Seeing this, I remember that when I was in middle school, I would leave the magazines to read after the exams, to suppress the small mood of reading the magazines, and I had the motivation to brush the papers. Sure enough...

Of course, the deepest feeling is that he came up on the wire I walked back so many times that the people in the theater were impatient and squeaked in the mood that they wouldn't die if they didn't do anything. In fact, after the first trip, Philip was sitting on the edge of the South Tower. Suddenly I had a feeling of being alone and begging for defeat, and suddenly I was empty. Yes, at this time, the male protagonist should feel the same way, of course. He didn't say that, and he started walking back. The first trip was his challenge to himself, which was the fulfillment of his dream. He had a lot to say but couldn't express it, so he paid tribute to everything he could think of on the way back, and it should be over here. Well, but he definitely doesn't want this in his heart. People who are sick in the middle of the second year will not do whatever they want. The police on the opposite side came at the right time, and it was exactly what he hoped. , only in this way in the future, even if you can no longer walk in such a high place, you will not regret (xin) regret (yang). He's on his knees on the balance bar, he's looking down from the sky, he's lying on the wire, he's balancing on one foot... It's almost a pull-up, I don't feel procrastination, he needs to release like this. The steel wire is about to hang, and there are only three steps left. The master's experience has also come true. If the previous high-altitude experience is redemption, then the Twin Towers will be cultivated into immortals.

There is a feeling that he will not continue to challenge. (purely personal feeling)

    The characters are not full enough. After telling an event, but not a single person, it is a kind of mediocrity. ★★★☆

    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!

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.
