I think the best part of the whole film is the director's discussion about "solute". Before Papa Rudy drove Philip away at first. Philip argues: Why pay tribute to the audience, it's me standing on the tightrope. Rudy's father said: We are performing for the audience, without the audience we are nothing. In fact, the relationship between the performer and the audience is mentioned many times in the film. For example, in the middle, because the audience on the river boat mocked Philip, he failed. For example, when approaching the back, Philip (or Rudy) said that the audience knew everything and could watch it. Knowing what you're thinking, and kneeling while walking the tightrope, he watched it even though he knew he shouldn't be looking at the audience. But until the end, the object of his tribute should never be the audience. He paid tribute to the Twin Towers and the steel cable. But like the artists we all hope for, he won't compromise on the tastes of the audience. When he was a street clown, he had to please the audience in order to make a living; but he shouldn't be flattering when he wanted to fulfill his dream. In fact, I have been thinking, why do I have to choose to be in the daytime, or to let the world know. After all, becoming a so-called "master" is what he desires, and this title depends on the witness of the audience. Look how conflicted we are, with disgust at those who are chasing flowers and applauding, and at the same time desperate for attention.
I was looking forward to seeing the story of a man bordering on insane and paranoid, but alas, I smelled too much copper. On the contrary, it was my colleagues who moved me. No matter how hurried and accidental the companions appear in the story, I still see the dreams and beliefs that everyone in this world may have, and are willing to go crazy for them. The final departure of the heroine is a perfect ending, looking for her own dream, and thus meeting more lovely people who are willing to help you realize it.
In the end, the reason why I didn't get much interest when watching the movie was that I was too suspicious of the film's simplification of tightrope walking, so that my mind was full of thinking about going back to watch a real documentary. In fact, it is no wonder that the last part is too time-consuming.
After watching the documentary, I felt that I was wrong to blame the director. It turns out that the real Philip is so naughty! There are so many police officers! It turns out that he just enjoys being worshiped! (I must have been brainwashed by the texts from childhood to college to make up the reasonable words and deeds of heroes...) But as a movie, you can expose human nature and leave me with a little hope, okay! You can almost copy the facts, Xiao 囧 don't make me embarrassed with a paradoxical smile, okay?
