Soooo overrated
MAN ON WIRE - Documentary of the events of Philippe Petit's "afternoon stroll" between the Twin Towers. Movie covers this like a glove, from the planning of the blessed event, the troubles, worries etc of his accomplises, the getting past the guards, the way they managed to sneak some unbelieveably sized equipment from the ground floor to the roof etc etc etc. It's told back in forth in flash
Breathtaking - and a pleasure to see the Twin Towers as they were meant to be, not as a reminder of destructive evil
We were not too sure about going to this movie at first, but after seeing it with some friends, we all concluded that it was the best movie we all have seen in YEARS!!!!!! We left there feeling so inspired that anything is possibe....
Just wonderful...Need I say more.

Thanks to Marsh's sensitive storytelling, Man on Wire manages to put Petit's performance into another, more ineffable realm: What began as a caper turned into poetry, and poetry became a prayer. Full Review

He had the fearlessness of a 104-story man and something more than a daredevil's brass. Full Review

Man on Wire brings back a time when the towers were still symbols of aspiration and possibility. Full Review
