“The Walk“ is a movie based on the true events surrounding Philippe Petit and his dream to amaze. In the beginning of the film, Philippe introduces himself as any performer should, along with his dream to entertain and thus his show begins. Philippe decides to become a tight-rope walker and performs throughout the city of Paris where he meets his first accomplice and discovers where to hang his wire; on the grand stage of the modern world, New York City, specifically between the Twin Towers. Philipe’s dream was against the law and was the artistic coup of the century and like most movers and shakers he knew he had to do something bold and daring if he were to leave an impression on the world.

“The Walk’s” humorous style matched with its unique sequence draws viewers and creates a connectable story. However, my appeal to the movie comes, not only from its story line and eccentric characters, but from its deeper meaning. The world is filled with people who have dreams and everyone should have one, but its how you achieve your dream and its impact on the world that matters. And what better place to impact the world than America, the land built on a dream and the determination to change the world. Philippe’s dream was a life threatening performance for the world a show that would inspire his audience and change what people believe they can do. “The ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do” (Steve Jobs).
