Great viewing
I saw this on a plane - amazing the romantic gall of this weirdly fascinating man, who walks for 45 minutes back and forth on a piece of wire suspended 400 metres up between the twin towers, laughing at the police who threaten to get a helicopter to come and pluck him off it! (No common sense regarding air currents I guess) No safety net and he's just spent the entire night hauling the wire into place. An amazing doco - be good to see it on the big screen, although a lot of the footage is old amateur video stuff. Well worth a watch.
Very inspirational
You will learn that Phillipe Petit is actually a very unusual man. This documentary is powerful because it serves as insight into a weird character. It's not just about the Twin Towers stunt, but mostly about the way in which Petit lives his life and how he succeeds or suffers because of it. Made me want to do something great.
we agree. 'tis good.
Peter: Very very good, remarkable, but going in knowing his achievement lessened the experience I feel.
Sally: Not really, peter. It was remarkable just to see the process he went through to get there. What a strange passion to fulfill, And to swoon a team of like minded supporters. really good viewing.
A piece of the Twin Towers history that was not know to me
Marvellous.
Motivational,
insirational and
captivating.
Couldnt help thinking of the parallels with our own AJ Hackett.
dont miss this one.
wicked
looking movie
Stunning and romantic.
If you like that sort of characters (don't ask why, there is no why), check out another Frenchman called Alain Robert. He was in 60 minutes not so long ago. In spite of suffering from vertigo he climbs the highest towers, without any safety device. Who said romance was about living safe?
