Wire lead to success
- Review of the movie "The Man on a Tightrope"
"The Tightrope Walker" won the 81st Academy Awards. I have to say, it really deserves this award. What impresses me most about this documentary is the way it tells the story.
Different from the general narrative method, the narrative method of this documentary unfolds in two lines. One is the narration and emotion of Philip and his friends about their youthful experiences in their later years. When doing this interview, the pictures are often colored, which is not only Being able to highlight the difference between the two eras also allows the audience to distinguish the difference between the present and the past. Another line is Philip's previous experience, from when he set a goal when he was 12 years old to finally successfully walking on the tightrope between the twin towers, most of the experience at this stage used black and white tones, only when Philip usually trained or challenged tightrope walking. , the screen will turn into color. The director must have his own intentions for this arrangement. Viewers should be able to see that the use of color during training and challenges is actually to attract the audience's attention and attention, and to give us a more thorough understanding of Philip's moving experiences. In addition, what left a deep impression on the audience was the use of cross montage in the filming of the construction of the Twin Towers. The screen is divided into two parts, one is filming the construction of the Twin Towers, and the other is reviewing Philip's growth from childhood to adulthood. It's a tactic rarely seen in documentaries, and the director shows us in such a different way how Philip was connected to the tightrope walker and what Philippe did after he decided to be a tightrope walker. Exercise. In addition, it uses interlude, and interlude in the climax is more able to grab the audience's attention than the climax.
In addition, one of the most notable features of this documentary is its soundtrack throughout the film. Although the stage of each picture is different, for example, when talking about their plans, the background music is long and full of suspense; when the picture turns to Philip lying on the wire at the top of Notre Dame, the music is passionate surging. It is precisely because of such just the right music that the audience can feel immersed in the scene, and it can make people feel the same nervousness and excitement about Philip's behavior as the citizens in the film.
Overall, this documentary is a perfect and just right interpretation of what is called "as long as you have a dream, the whole world will make way for you." Although everyone has different ways to achieve their dreams, no matter which one they are, they all need Use a springboard to realize your dreams and lead to success.
