Man on Wire

David Blaine’s Central Park stunts are minuscule compared to Philippe Petit’s walk between the twin towers. I have really never seen a documentary that looked quite like this. It was presented in a very stylized fashion accompanied by dramatizations of what took place while setting up the wire between the two buildings. The film has wonderful music, at times it overwhelms the dialog to the point where it's hard to concentrate on what the person is even saying. But this is truly a brilliant film about a man and his passion to tight rope walk between the World Trade Center buildings. This is a must see.

Thank you for commenting. If someone were to do this today on tv it would be the most watched event in history. This is an important film.
