I still don’t understand why, but this movie had such a charisma that I can’t explain.
Well crafted documentary that gets you in straight away. The movie itself takes places I various countries, but It doesn’t matter where it is the idea stays the same – to fulfill your dream, do it at any cost.
That what a wire walker Philippe Petit was trying to do, his passion for what he was doing led him to the story of his life – walk through a wire between World Trade Centre twin towers what was considered the “artistic crime” of the century.
What gives me the biggest impression, is that such a harmful trick was planned so carefully by a group of young people and their accomplices and how many people were supportive and wanted to help Philippe with his dream.
Second of all I really enjoyed the authentic camera work that was used. Amateur but so close to actions shots made this movie even more personal and made it feel even more realistic, at one point you could imagine yourself as a part of the crew. The opportunities to see the everyday life of these people and how this was planed is inspiring . Freedom, passion and living your dream with the cost of everything you have, that what makes this film so interesting. The director caught the viewer finding itself in place of the people who were in the film. People who are kind of a daredevil’s, who had the desire to feel free. The heights and the shivers that you could feel is watching this movie are priceless.
