The meaning of walking in the clouds

When walking in the clouds becomes a person's way of life, he has to accept the fact that others question it, and others will frantically doubt the foundation, influence, and meaning of the sport, even for yourself, the limit It is the whole meaning of itself, but the cloud walker must be the glory that he has won with his life, and his youthful desire is burning on the peak he has crossed.
The walkers in the clouds are actually very similar to those who climb Mount Everest. They are not destined to be madmen who will push the limit on a whim, nor are they mortals who act as heroes in the eyes of the world in order to gain attention, even if they When completing these shocks, it is often necessary to rely on a moment of passion. Standing around for a moment in eternity, it may be death if one is not careful, or a new vision will be obtained if one bites the teeth and persists. This is of course a great temptation for human reason, because we cannot understand what we can achieve with reason. The potential of our bodies, how our minds coordinate with our bodies, or how our minds stick to our body's pre-existing knowledge, may be the dream of these extreme enthusiasts.
For us ordinary people, why do we say that these people are pursuing crazy things, because with our strength and our current ability, it is a mortal choice to put our hearts in this situation, so we Subconsciously choose to avoid this kind of imagination, but for these "professionals" and dreamers, they have made sufficient preparations for their dreams, with careful professional training, patient physical persistence, and certain victory The toughness of the two towers, so that their hard work is like what the protagonist expresses on the steel cable across the Twin Towers in Walking in the Clouds, "At this moment, I really feel the steel cable, and the Twin Towers are silently giving me strength. , give me support, it all becomes one", this feeling of forgetting things and I is what they are demanding. And the only thing that should be maddening is that the price they crossed the limit was sometimes life, and the price they might have paid to pursue this dream was so huge that it felt incomprehensible, and negatively affirmed their courage, their Self-knowledge, and their "madness".
For those who pursue the limit, of course, they also have enough talent and ability, because they have acquired the ability and interest to complete these activities we call dangerous at a critical time in their lives, such as the comfort in racing. Mach, in the wild drag racing, he not only reaps the thrill, but also hones his skills carefully. Behind him is a group of research teams that turn the accidental factors in our eyes into inevitable, and they analyze it bit by bit. How to make the car run better speed, better track, better posture and so on.
I think this kind of enthusiasm for walking in the clouds is more difficult to train. It is more like a kind of inheritance, a kind of surprise, a kind of inheritance of passion for life. It cannot be used like a profession. To spread by popularization, it is more like a craft, a movement that requires unique wisdom, unique enthusiasm, unique life seeds and life foundation to stand. According to this reasoning, whether this Will the lineage arise in one place, one family, one period, that is, is it influential and concentrated? What we feel through the film is what actors and actresses show us with their acting skills. These dreamers' love for the limit and the impact they love on our traditions are such an amazing group of people. ?

    Although there are many carvings to make it more dramatic, the dreamer is still moving. He doesn't have to chase the sky, chase the sun, the world is at his feet.

    Exciting and thrilling to overcome all odds and challenges to challenge the human limit blablabla is too much to lose the most wonderful elegance. From the cartoons read by jake gyllenhaal to the tightrope walkers in the documentary, the most touching thing is the lightness, calmness and grace of a small figure in the abyss. 囧 Joseph is completely incapable of controlling this kind of light spirit, and is more like a laborer who is bitter and hated. Alas, but I know from the poster that this is a purely commercial film, forget it

The Walk quotes

  • [last lines]

    Philippe Petit: You remember Guy Tozzoli from the press conference, one of the men behind the creation of towers, he loved the walk, and he gave me a pass to the observation deck, so I could go any time I wanted. And I went there many times, alone. I would find myself there looking at the void, to see how the thought comes back. How the feeling returns. Because it was a beautiful day.

    Philippe Petit: And you know this pass I was given?

    [holding up the card]

    Philippe Petit: Well, these passes they have a date on them. A date when they expire. But on my pass, Mr. Tozzoli, he crossed out the date and he wrote on it: FOREVER.
