The movie "Edge" can definitely be regarded as the best in the thriller genre. Billionaire Charlie, the protagonist of the film, can also be regarded as a model of the perfect man. He told us what qualities a man needs most. In him, I did not see the arrogant gesture of a rich man, but his calmness and wit. He is full of books, knowing astronomy in the first place and geography in the next. When you are in a difficult situation, you are still not surprised, and you can use a simple self-made compass and the position of the stars in the sky to identify the direction. He once said: "People who lost their way in the wilderness died of shame. Because they were not decisive enough to be afraid of making mistakes, and therefore missed opportunities." Men must also have courage. When facing a bear, he turned the hunted into a hunter, and bravely wrestled with the bear, killing this ferocious animal with the bear's own weight, and he firmly believed that he could do what others could do. Men must have a broad mind. After fellow photographer Barney tried to kill himself but fell into a trap and was seriously injured, Charlie saved him regardless of the previous suspicion. In the end, Barney died of his injuries, but when the reporter asked Charlie how his companion died At that time, Charlie replied: They died to save me. A person who knows how to be grateful is always worthy of respect. What I admire about Charlie in the film is not his wealth, but his character and qualities as a man.
"Why is the rabbit not afraid? Because it is smarter than the panther." This sentence is definitely the most philosophical saying in the film. Charlie in the film is such a clever rabbit. When he faced the dangerous environment, the cannibal bear and the photographer Barney who wanted to murder himself, the three black panthers, he finally overcome them one by one with wit and bravery. This world belongs to the wise.
The last thing I want to say is that compared with the excellent thriller "Vertical Limit", the protagonist of this movie has changed from a savior to a self-saver. In the film, the beauty of the Northland of Alaska and the majestic music add to the film a lot. In addition, I have to admire the old British drama Anthony Hopkins who plays the rich man Charlie. This role seems to be tailored for him. I have seen his works count, whether it is the cannibal professor in "The Silent Lamb", or the old man being hunted down in "The Heart of Atlantis" or "84 Charing Cross Street, London" The owner of a second-hand bookstore, his performance will never let me down. He really likes this actor too much.
