囧 Joseph comes on stage with his own funny attributes, his French English and the acrobatic performances on the streets of Paris make me overwhelmed. There's an impulsive and optimistic vibe about this guy, which is why I've always liked this actor. Interested friends can click on the original link to watch an episode of "Saturday Night Live" hosted by him. In this episode, you can see not only his funny side, but also his excellent physical fitness (presumably this kid is very good at sports), I laugh and cry every time I watch it.
The film "Walking in the Clouds" was shot relatively well-behaved. Like director Robert Zemeckis' masterpiece "Forrest Gump", it was smooth and gradual, even the music was similar, the theme part used piano, and the melody was similar. In fact, the composer for both films is the same person.

Oh by the way For a moment, in my eyes, "Forrest Gump" is not a very good movie, but the use of technology is great. The other two popular films that were defeated by it in the competition for the Oscar for best picture that year, "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Pulp Fiction", are above it in my opinion, especially "Pulp Fiction", which is obviously better to watch. . This may have something to do with my particular dislike of chicken soup. "Forrest Gump" is really the main theme.
The film "Walking in the Clouds" focuses entirely on the tightrope walking of the twin towers of the World Trade Center. The film is 120 minutes long, and more than half of it is about this incident, and most of the time is about the preparations before the tightrope walk, such as how to fix the cables, how to use security loopholes to avoid supervision to reach the roof, etc. Of course, this process is very important. Any mistake in any link will cause Jon Cerf to fall from an altitude of more than 400 meters, but it is not necessary to show every detail to the audience, at least for me. Can't be called thrilling. The tightrope walking I was most looking forward to lasted only ten minutes. Of course, it only lasted for such a long time in history. If this part of the scene is as fancy as the low-altitude tightrope walking ahead, it will easily give people an unreal feeling. So I think it would be better if the big part of the preparatory work could be compressed a bit.
In the psychological and emotional scenes of the characters, the film exposes the biggest loophole, that is, the relationship between the male and female protagonists is relatively ambiguous and lacks explanation. The scene where they met for the first time in Paris was actually quite emotional. The encounter between the two was full of drama and emotion, but after they were together, the heroine seemed to be completely attached to Jon Joseph's tightrope walking career. This kind of infinite dedication It continued until Jonseff returned to the ground from the cloud, and then she suddenly and inexplicably chose to leave.
In fact, the emotional development of the male and female protagonists in "Forrest Gump" is similar, but there are many historical events interspersed in the middle, which makes every meeting of them precious, and every separation is sighing. The sense of vicissitudes endows love with a poignant and beautiful charm, and "Walking in the Clouds" does not have this poignant rendering, it looks very light.
But the film did not completely lose its texture, which is mainly due to the excellent production, which is reflected in two aspects: the reproduction of the street scenes of Paris and New York in the 1970s, and the excellent mastery of the picture and sound. Needless to say about the former, each frame is an old photo, while the latter focuses on the tightrope walk of the twin towers of the World Trade Center. , and the faintly audible shouts of people when Jon Joseph looked down on the street, as well as the scene where the steel cable fell and smashed into the camera. All in all, this scene was very well done.
In addition, like the director's previous works, the theme of the film is still stable and very mainstream. Mainstream is not a bad thing, mainly because it's okay to replace Forrest Gump with Jonghet, and Jonghee with Forrest Gump is no problem, I think the writers and directors are not careful enough to dig the characters' hearts.
So in general, this film is above average in my eyes, even compared with "Forrest Gump", it is more than a little worse, because "Forrest Gump" at least has enough emotions to move people's hearts, and "Walking in the Clouds" "Without this touching power, I probably wouldn't have watched it if it wasn't for Jon Cerf. But if you like the vertigo of looking down from the sky, then you might as well take a look. For the foreplay that I have criticized a lot - the preparation before the tightrope, it is not so bad, and the director also made it less boring by editing, but it doesn't make sense to me.
