I'm insane, but i'll do it.

I haven't seen a movie in theaters for a long time. Not only because there is no time, but also because there is no need to watch 3D for ordinary movies. The first thing that attracted me to this film was the high-altitude 3D feeling. I have to complain, watching movies in theaters is too hard. The class dragged on, the road was jammed, and the rain ran wild. Damn, I just want to watch a movie, it doesn't need to be difficult.

After watching a lot of inspirational movies, I know where there should be tears and where life philosophy should come out. Director Robert still had the feeling of shooting Forrest Gump in this film. Throw away the flashy coat and tell the story flat. But the kind of emotion, firm desire, and passion for dreams conveyed by the characters can never be plain.

I'm thinking, if I had a friend like this by my side, I'd take him as a lunatic and stay away from him. But he said, yes, I'm insane, but I'll do it. I'll do the things that sensible man could not do. Yes, people worship sensible people and try to get themselves close. Because rational people never do anything out of the ordinary, they do a risk assessment before they do it, they know the value of everything, and they make themselves the closest to the truth. oh god, is it life? Life needs the unknown and passion. And he, resolutely, wants to do things that rational people don't do. Anne said, why care about what other people think. What is the meaning of your life if you don't do things that others don't understand? You just follow the stereotypes and turn yourself into a manipulated puppet.

When he was standing on the twin towers, he said, impossible, but i'll do it. Hey girl, do you know your life is short of this sentence?

The Walk quotes

  • [first lines]

    Philippe Petit: "Why?" That is the question people ask me most. Pourquoi? Why? For what? Why do you walk on the wire? Why do you tempt fate? Why do you risk death. But, I don't think of it this way. I never even say this word, death. La mort. Yes of okay, I said it once, or maybe three times, just now... But watch, I *will* not say it again. Instead, I use the opposite word. Life. For me, to walk on the wire, this is life. C'est la vie.

    Philippe Petit: [now standing in the torch of the Statue of Liberty] So, picture with me it's 1974, New York city, and I am in love with two buildings - two towers. Or as everyone in the world will calls them, the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. They call to me. These towers, they stir something inside of me, and they inspire in me a dream. My dream is to hang a high-wire between those twin towers, and *walk* on it! Of course, uh, this is impossible, not to mention, illegal. So, why attempt the impossible? Why follow your dream? But, I cannot answer this question why, not with words. But I can show you how i happened. And so, we must go back in time, and across the ocean, because my love affair with these beautiful towers did not begin in New York. In case you couldn't tell, I'm not from here. No, my story begins in another one of the world's most beautiful cities, se Paris.

  • Philippe Petit: [just before beginning his walk] I lost my costume! It's a tragedy! The biggest page of my like and I lose my costume! It falls off the edge! If have no costume!

    Jeff: What?

    Philippe Petit: [now in French] It lost my turtleneck, this is not my costume!
