Directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, "Walking in the Clouds" is in theaters in China, and I've always been interested in films based on true events, so recently in Los Angeles and New York Watched the film during the exhibition. Ostensibly, the film focuses on a wire rope walk performed by French acrobatic artist Philippe Patt in August 1976 between the tops of the still-unfinished World Trade Center-Twin Towers in New York. But in fact, the more you watch it, the more you will feel that this movie is actually about the terrorist attack on the 9/11 World Trade Center and its far-reaching impact. When you walk out of the cinema after watching this movie, you will feel this movie more deeply. Movies are another manifestation of the American spirit. At the beginning of the movie, Philip insisted on speaking English, and asked his friends to speak English too. Although he said that this was to better integrate into the life in New York, in fact, this is the obvious stalk of English and French. , but this is also the beginning of the film's greater feelings, what feelings? The American spirit is broad, accepting, tolerant. Philip himself, like the United States, yearns for freedom, is mischievous, and likes a challenge. Philip has to walk a tightrope between the two tallest buildings in the world, he has to challenge authority, challenge the law, but also challenge fear and challenge himself. The United States is also very open and tolerant of artists like Philip, and the United States is like the one who walks a tightrope in the international community. Whether it is Philip, Andy Warhol, or Marina Abramovich, there are too many contemporary artists from all over the world who come to the United States and take root in the United States. It is because the United States likes to challenge new things and accept the challenges of new things. Philip was arrested by the police and taken down from the rooftop. What greeted him was applause from construction workers, admiration from other police officers, applause and cheers from the audience, attention from the media, and questions from reporters. It also reflects the acceptance, welcome and worship of art and higher spirits in American society. All works of art, or good works of art, use a very specific but indescribable metaphor to tell the spirit it is trying to express, and this kind of work can always move you with indescribable emotions. It's like you are suddenly surprised to eat the most unique and wonderful food in the world, but you have signed a pact with God not to tell anyone what it feels like. A good movie is never about what it seems to say things, at least not just about what it seems to say. The same is true of this film, the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York, we all know what day and day of the year, what happened there, but this film does not mention a word, only brings you beauty, brings you joy, Bring you admiration. That feeling is like a beautiful girl, standing there, waiting quietly, you don't know who she is, you don't know who she is waiting for, you only know that she is very, very beautiful, and the person she is waiting for must be He is the happiest guy in the world, and you can only envy and bless you silently in your heart. This movie brings you not only beauty and joy, but also courage and faith. It seems that the terrorist attack brought grief and anger to people, but it is not forever, it brings more and far-reaching, hope and longing; it is to wipe away the tears and smile again, and it is more forgiveness. Philip walks between the World Trade Centers, and he also becomes the World Trade Center. The reason for this is because he also represents the spirit of building the world's tallest building, the spirit of the United States to be the first country to land on the moon, and the spirit of the United States to be the world's largest country. Philip's pursuit of life, art and dreams is also the pursuit of life, art and dreams by Americans. Of course, when the World Trade Center was destroyed by terrorism, like Philip fell into a pond when he performed his first performance, he was frustrated; but Americans stood up more united and stronger because of it. You can recall the New York police officers with dusty faces in the rubble, the first firefighters who rushed into the building regardless of their own safety, and even the cafe owner who let everyone hide in his coffee shop to protect the crowd. The courage of New Yorkers is actually the belief of Americans. They are as high as the World Trade Center, and they are more like Philip, who are not afraid of any difficulties and believe in themselves. In the whole film, Philip stood on the torch of the Statue of Liberty and said so many narrations. I only remember the last sentence he said at the end. The designer of the World Trade Center gave him a ticket to the rooftop, unlike others. There's a deadline, and his one says Forever forever. This "forever" means that the World Trade Center will always stand in people's hearts. (As Papa Rudy always taught Philip in the film, pay homage to art, pay tribute to the audience, and Philip pays tribute to the city of New York on the wire.) Then the camera moves to the World Trade Center again, and the last time to pay tribute to the Americans, also Give Americans one last chance to pay tribute to the World Trade Center, but also to the world A tribute to all those brave and indomitable souls who came to this film. "Walking in the Clouds" premiered on September 26, 2015 - 15 days after the 15th anniversary of 9/11.  Finally, let's look at this poster of "Walking in the Clouds". Three elements are simple and clear to reflect the film: the World Trade Center, the man walking on the tightrope, and the cross.
