Man on Wire (2008)

Movies Watched In 2013 (266 movies items)

"Fascinating documentary about the extraordinary exploits of a Frenchman named Philippe Petit who walked across wire between the two towers of the WTC in New York during 1974. It's really engrossing and goes into the detailed planning that he and his friends did to make the daring stunt work. "

"Hey, we've all had dreams sometime in lives, right? Some people have dreamt about reaching a million dollars, or reaching the Oval Office in the White House. Here's a story about a guy who dreamt about reaching between the two tallest buildings in the world (at least, they were the tallest back when this story happened). And you know how one of the most quoted pieces of advice when pursuing one's dreams is "If you should fall, you just gotta get back up again"? Well, I'm sure you can see where "

"13/12/2012 Aivan kertakaikkisen upea dokumentti taiteilijan vapaudesta ja rajoja rikkovasta innostuksesta. Dramatisoidut takaumat toimivat hienosti, mutta kaikkein kauneimmillaan elokuva on aitoa arkistomateriaalia näyttäessään Philippen harjoituksista ja itse suorituksesta. Henkeäsalpaava kauneus tuo tunteita pintaan ja Philippen kylmäpäisyyttä ja intohimoa voi vain ihailla. Haastattelumateriaali on erinomaista ja näyttää loistavasti Philippen persoonan tänäpäivänäkin."

Dear Cinema Diary - Vol 3 E9a - etc 2012 (77 movies items)

"Oct 6th - First Viewing A very interesting documentary. How the film was shot and put together was superb. Trying to capture a moment in time and the grand beautiful meaningless of a perfect moment is a noble effort. The film left me with quite a bit to think about and some things aren't fully explained... still this is perhaps more of a positive aspect then I'm giving the film credit for."
