Right "Why?" The best answer

Starting from a street juggling performance with a slightly funny color, it is actually about the solid skills that can't tolerate a little child's play. In addition to the thrills, the movie Walking in the Clouds uses life to challenge the limit of walking a tightrope at a height of hundreds of meters, which really makes people feel ups and downs. What is it that has been lingering for a long time?

After watching the film, I immediately Baidu, and confirmed that the prototype of the film really exists. The documentary film The tightrope walker won the Oscar for best documentary, which was a joint production of the famous BBC, Discovery and UK Film Council.

this makes me even more astounded. I have always been uninterested in some mysterious tricks such as challenging the impossible, including the so-called extreme sports. I think that it is nothing more than creating gimmicks, attracting people's attention, and even some are purely grandstanding.

However, the "crazy" behavior of Philippe Petit, the hero of this film, makes people feel moved, and can't be treated simply as showiness and adventure, so I suddenly understand something-knowing that you can't do it? Why？ For these people, what attracts them to be desperate? What their behavior shows-it is people's ability to control their body and mind in the face of extreme danger, and it is the energy that life can exert. These are the secrets of life, maybe we don't know, "but I can show you how it happens"; Also, as Pat said, when walking on a tightrope, we should control ourselves not to look down, because danger itself has great attraction, so they don't try because they can't resist the temptation of danger. On the contrary, their extraordinary strength lies in their extraordinary resistance to danger and abyss.

The story of this film adapted from autobiography is not complicated, and the arrangement is also very simple. In the way of self-narration, the hero tells that he was obsessed with it from believing that he was engaged in a great art no matter how others didn't understand it, to showing the beauty of this great art to the world as much as possible, until he pushed it to the "stage" on the top of the world's tallest building, the Gemini Tower of New York World Trade Center, which is more than 4 meters high, and shocked his heart.

he succeeded! Won the supreme respect of the world and forgot to regard him as a "madman". It always seems that this extraordinary achievement must be achieved by a madman, and when he put forward this extraordinary imagination before, no one laughed at him for being crazy. However, only the "madman" deeply understands the righteousness and has no hesitation: "Who will do it in a normal person? That's why I have to do it! "

why don't normal people do it? Because I can't answer the "why" question. Why do you want to do it? Why take the risk? Why not take the conventional route? -too many why. It's irrational to rush forward with all your heart before all the "why" are answered clearly! As a result, while normal people are struggling to evaluate whether it is rational to do so, "lunatics" are already using reason to solve problems.

Before his success, Pat was crazy, always holding a red rope in his hand, and when he saw a gap between two high points, he figured out how to tie a rope and walk up. Of course, a madman is desperate and will do what he says. However, this work can not be achieved by sheer madness. It is by no means a fancy juggling, which contains a lot of science, art and philosophy. Without a complete understanding of any of them and a perfect solution, it is impossible to reach a profound level, and it will also give itself up to death.

At this time, you will see a madman's first-class patience, meticulousness, wisdom and preciseness ... Needless to say, there are also problems such as steel wire fixation, materials and methods, firmness, balance, how to cross the steel wire, how to tie a knot, and how to measure the distance ... He never lets go of any detail, delves into it deeply, and does not hesitate to spend all his savings for advice.

In addition to technical problems, there is also the mentality when walking on a tightrope. If there is a little disturbance in the heart, there is a little lack of calmness and concentration, and the body can't keep balance.

When Pat made a public performance over the river for the first time, he was so pretentious that when he heard that the crowd below didn't care at all, he couldn't help but look down indignantly, making the taboo of walking a tightrope and being distracted, so he fell down.

we know that concentration is the prerequisite for success in everything, which is very contradictory-a madman will only go crazy, how can he concentrate?

but in fact, the secret of success lies in the high degree of unity between the two. "Arrogance" is not ignorance of danger, but real "disregard" of danger. The danger is as great as the difficulty. They all start from the origin and go to the positive and negative poles of the number axis respectively. The more they go to the positive pole, the farther they are from the negative pole. Therefore, the way to remove the danger is not aimed at the danger itself, not to reduce the difficulty, but just to get close to the difficulty, focus on the difficulty and conquer the difficulty. If you conquer the difficulty, you will gain freedom. The more you dare to be free and soar in freedom, the farther away the danger is from you.

Anyone who pursues freedom regards freedom as extremely sacred and has extremely respectful feelings. He also holds the ultimate respect for the audience who wants to present it to him. The appreciation of the audience is the source of artistic life. "In your heart, you must pay tribute!" -this attitude is repeatedly emphasized in the film, which is the core of the so-called belief, so we can come up with the highest and most exquisite "works" with our heart!

Although people around you may not understand, it has irresistible magic to spread this spirit. This is the power of faith, which not only inspires themselves, but also infects others. Pat's companion, an unknown photographer, a math teacher who is afraid of heights, and even several gangsters who joined later, all gave him selfless support, especially his fiancee Jenny. From the beginning, when she listened to Pat talking about her dreams cheerfully, she didn't regard him as one. And became his most loyal fan and spiritual pillar.

with the efforts of all, the moment of decisive battle has finally arrived. However, as the saying goes, those who walk a hundred miles are half-ninety, and the arrow is on the string, which is often the easiest to give up. There are many reasons to give up. First of all, the target building is not allowed to enter at all. Although the heart of shaking has risen, Pat clearly knows that "the carrot has been cooked", giving up halfway is not only a shame, but also not beautiful, which is intolerable for an artist. The only thing to do is to finish it, regardless of the outcome, completion is beautiful.

At this time, he needs a little sense of ceremony, crucifying the "coffin" and paying tribute to the participants, all of which have strengthened his determination to cross the rubicon.

The main event has finally begun. He walked on the tightrope, which seems a bit hasty, but once he entered that state, he fully integrated into it. At this time, together with the tightrope, he formed a superb work of art. The tightrope is not a support, not a road, not a bridge, but an extension of his feet. His steps and thoughts take him to the sky, and he only needs to follow it. The feeling of flying high is like walking on clouds, which reminds me of my feeling when I was on a speedboat, light, flying and as free as the wind.

After finding this feeling, the thin steel cable is more stable than the flat ground and wider than the stage. Pat stepped on it and made eight trips between two 1-storey high-rise buildings, which became the safest and most interesting place for him. He evaded the arrest of the police on it, but the helicopter could not help it. He danced, lay down and slept, confronted the "God Bird" and even broke the taboo and looked down.

He felt threatened by the wind when he had had enough trouble. He wanted to end the performance, but the pride of the artist made him hear a voice: As long as you still have doubts and fears in your heart, you should not get off the tightrope, but walk off as a winner. This is the perfect art. So he turned back again until he was calm again. Finally, it draws a perfect end to the work by deliberately shaking on the wire.

why do you want to do this-"I just can't help but see a good place to tie the steel wire." This is the artist's instinct, fanaticism, and this is the real thing. The artist's duty is to create works, not to explain them, and so are other things.

Pat, who can't answer "Why" clearly, has created a myth, but there is no end to art and exploration. For example, there will be people walking a tightrope without the balance bar and walking backwards in the future. At that time, do we have to ask "why"?
