Last Friday, January 22nd last year, I worked from home for one day, so I wanted to go out for a walk, go shopping, eat Mala Tang, and play billiards, but in the end I went to a movie theater not far from the community and near the subway station. Movie. Wearing a hat, covering a mask, leaving only the eyes in contact with the air, I almost set off with a pinch. Considering that this is a rare time for outdoor activities, I ran all the way to the cinema. There are probably less than 30 people watching the movie in the No. 3 theater. After the movie, I feel that this is really good. There is not so many people's hustle and bustle, and I feel the movie quietly and truly satisfied.
The film is called "Walking in the Air", and it was filmed based on the experience of a real French performer who walked in the sky. After reading the film review, I found out that some people are afraid of heights, or even stunts. However, from beginning to end, I define this film as a Inspirational stories are no less inspirational than "Forrest Gump", and are more real and closer to us in life.
At the age of 9, the protagonist Philip had a chance to experience high-altitude walking while performing acrobatics. From the age of 9 until he grew up, he has been practicing with thick ropes tied between two trees in the woods. The thick rope walks, until the end, it can completely rely on a single thick rope to walk.
Also because of this hobby, he was kicked out of the house by his father, and a sentence that appeared at that time runs through the whole movie: the carrots are already cooked. It probably means that what should come must come, you can't back down and escape, just face straight ahead! After leaving home, he made a living in Paris, just like the clown juggling we often see in movies, but without the funny makeup. In a performance, an accidental injury damaged his teeth. He had to go to the hospital to see his teeth because of the pain. However, the busy doctor asked him to continue to wait in line. Even if the pain was terrible, he had to wait for 2 hours. He had no choice but to sit in the chair obediently. Flip up the magazine. So, the moment of revelation has come! He saw in a magazine that New York was about to build the world's tallest towers, the Twin Towers. In his eyes, this place was simply the most perfect place to walk in the sky.
At this point, I can't remember exactly what stage of the story was the high-altitude walk between a tall building in Paris, when his walk won unanimous applause and cheers from all the tourist crowds, and of course he was punished for violating the city law. Arrested, however, when he was arrested, he was not anxious and angry at all, but felt the sense of accomplishment after creating art.
Later, I met a girl who played guitar and sang in the street. The picture at that time was so beautiful that I couldn’t describe it in detail. Anyway, I was definitely fascinated by her as a female man. Because his performance attracted the girl's audience, they began to negotiate and discuss after the performance. Philip made a bold promise that he would never perform in the vicinity when the girl appeared, and even when the rain suddenly fell, he invited I asked the girl to drink together and told the girl about her dream - to build a line between the twin towers to complete a high-altitude walk. In my opinion, this girl is a stunner, not only beautiful and charming on the outside, but also worthy of being cherished and guarded by every man on the inside. She did not laugh at Philip's dream, but gave encouragement and affirmation, just like what the actor said at the end of the movie , the girl's affirmation is an important reason to help him strengthen his dream.
So he kept practicing near the girl's art school, during which he staged romantic love scenes. More importantly, he met another partner who was willing to help him realize his dream, and was called his official photographer by Philip. The official photographer later brought a math teacher with extreme fear of heights to become one of his team members to achieve his dream. Movies are always dramatic, and human abilities are infinite. Later, when preparing to walk between the twin towers, this math teacher with acrophobia broke through the limit and stepped on the iron frame on the edge of the 110-storey roof. Help Philip tighten the wire, and Philip keeps asking him to answer number multiplication questions to help him get rid of his panic.
The realization of a dream always requires a lot of preparations, and these preparations always occur unexpectedly when the real situation occurs. He found out that the circus "Papa Rudy" paid him to teach him the secrets of high-altitude walking, especially when he was so overconfident that he nearly fell with three steps left, between completing the Twin Towers Reappears while walking at heights. In addition, during the construction of the Twin Towers, Philip dressed up as various characters and explored various situations around the Twin Towers, the speed of elevators, security personnel, and handover procedures, accurate to the minute and second. Unfortunately, when he was pleased with his cleverness, he accidentally stepped on the nail on the construction site and went straight through the sole of his foot. I can't believe how serious this accident is for a high-altitude walker, but for those who have dreams, these difficulties don't matter at all. The time to realize their dreams is just around the corner, and those who can't slack off must overcome them.
During the investigation, I accidentally met an audience member who witnessed his high-altitude walking in Paris when he was arrested, and this audience also highly praised and supported his dream of high-altitude walking, becoming his 4th dream-chasing teammate, which is equivalent to placing a device inside the building. Important insider. This dream-chasing teammate helped him find an unprofessional piling driver, and this unprofessional piling driver was just as unreliable as when they met. At the last critical moment, both of them ran away.
On the day before August 5, Philip told everyone about the arrangements and plans for the next day 21 times, so that in the end, no one responded, which made him furious. When he slept at night, he woke up from a nightmare and felt that he had not yet completed an important task - making the coffin. He excitedly picked up the hammer and started nailing the coffin in the aisle bang bang, awakening his girlfriend Anne, who was rude by Philip. And reminded him that he never thanked his teammates for their support, but the overly nervous Philip had no awareness and recognition at all. His later recognition was that he suddenly hit the table violently with a hammer, waking up his teammates who were sleeping on the floor, and then said something like thank you Everyone's words.
On the morning of August 5th, they brought all the equipment to the near-complete Twin Towers as planned, and began walking on August 6th when the sun rose.
As mentioned earlier, the plan can't keep up with the changes, the equipment arrangement before walking is completely out of the planned time, and the situation is constant during the period, which makes people terrified. Any situation may make Philip give up. However, since there was only one chance, the motivation of his dream made him have no plans to give up. So, as we often say: hard work pays off, he finally completed the only and most thrilling high altitude in history. The art of walking.
In my opinion, the spirit of the whole film is not much different from the difficulties that an entrepreneur needs to overcome. Entrepreneurs, like Philip, need to have a team with their own great dreams. In the process of realizing their dreams, they must constantly absorb people with common beliefs to join in and contribute to the realization of the entire goal. Of course, there are times when there is always helplessness, such as choosing the wrong companion, and taking extra thrills in the process of chasing dreams. At the same time, in order to obtain all the characters and resources that will help the dream come true, we must consider spending some money and the like, and use unconventional means to obtain them. For example, Philip paid Rudy’s father to teach him the essentials of high-altitude walking. Eating and connecting. In addition, various detailed investigations and plans must be made before taking action, and flexible responses must be made in the event of temporary changes. The most important thing is that in the whole process of chasing dreams, you must stick to your original dream. No amount of accidents and difficulties can hinder your progress.
