Man On Wire

E:
This film chronicles Philippe Petit's successful highwire walk between the World Trade Center's twin towers and the life that leads up to the attempt.
I loved it! I see probably just a few more documentaries than the average person, but this is more like a regular moobie than the average documentary. It's very compelling to see old footage of Petit in training. It's interesting to see old photographs of the Frenchman and his cohorts. But more than anything, the narrated recreated scenes are absolutely riveting. It's amazing what these people got away with, there's no way it could be done in our modern age of fear. To see the final result - a man on a wire that far up in the sky - is nothing short of breathtaking.
