The Walk

If you like excitement, adventure sports, exploring the unknown, challenging yourself, challenging the limits, cocking up your hair, and feeling the tension in every cell, then you should go to the cinema and experience it all. Thinking of the previous extreme thief, Meifan, challenging the physical and psychological limits, maybe this is a new expression of people exploring the world and coexisting with nature ~ The

rhythm is very tight, there are not too many complicated plots, the hero tells the story at the beginning To do one thing, to fulfill a dream. He has met many friends, he has also failed, and there are many emergencies, all of which are not wasted, and the director has not missed any inevitability that may affect his success. Also, he had such a good teacher, Papa Rudy.

The best scene in the whole film is here, how can it be so natural, every expression is so lifelike, and there is no pause for preparation. A face full of vicissitudes, serious eyes; movements, almost no movements, to be precise, no extra movements. The old man's name is Ben Kingsley, and he has acted in Exodus, Ender's game, etc. The

director is very accurate about the inner performance of the characters, and the subtle emotional changes on the eve of the challenge are displayed. There is a tension that soaks through the pores, a sense of tension! When walking in the clouds, the picture is very beautiful, from the ankles to the clouds, to the peaceful heart; like a song, soothing, and like a song with ups and downs, one movement is played out, in the cloud, like the keys, in the Dancing on the strings - great - is a beautiful thing.

    It is not only a smooth commercial film, but also a love letter to the Petronas Twin Towers. The visual effect of a good story with special effects is really kneeling (acrophobia suffers 10,000 points of damage). The director of "Forrest Gump" is pursuing a balance between narrative and dazzling skills this time. In a sense, he is also walking high in the sky, with a good degree of completion~

    Compared with #Forrest Gump#, the director didn't add too many moving parts this time, and gave up the in-depth shaping of the characters for the sake of rhythm and narrative, but it was indeed very exciting, and the climax of the second half was tense. Exciting, finally it turned out to be a love poem dedicated to #WTO#, what a bowl of chicken soup for the soul!

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.
