The Dark Knight's casting director said the script was sent to Leonardo DiCaprio first, who apparently didn't even respond, and then offered to Joaquin Phoenix, who said at the time he wasn't interested in doing big movies.
I've been thinking about that scene from The Dark Knight Rises.
Batman keeps trying to climb.
He keeps falling.
Every single time the rope catches him.
Then the old man says something that hit me harder than I remembered
You climb as the child did... without the rope.
And it made me wonder...
How many times have we failed not because we werent capable
but because a part of us never truly committed?
In crypto, in business, in life.
As long as there's a safety net, your mind negotiates that
You can always try again tomorrow.
But when there's no rope
You stop thinking about failure.
You stop looking down.
You just climb.
Maybe the biggest thing standing between us and the life we want is the rope we've been calling security.
