I enjoyed the movie man on wire. I like the idea that a man
who was tight rope walker saw objects or buildings around the world and his
mission was to walk across them. How many people on earth can say “I walked
between the twin towers.” Only one person ever in history can say that. He
truly is one of a kind. The years of training on the tight rope while having
his friends tug and pull on the rope to create a real like simulation of what
could happen when he is up there. This man and his friends where truly
dedicated to do this. The risked their lives trying to accomplish these acts
and spent some time in jail for it as well.
They created fake lives in an attempt to get to the top of
the tower with success. They waited under a tarp, motionless, for hours on end
to string up the wire. At one point Philipe was naked searching for an arrow so
that he could find the string attached to the end to pull the wire across and
when the wire was slacked between the two towers his friends spent hours of
hard work trying to pull it back up. The dedication it took from all of these
people to make one thing happen is incredible. This maybe the only thing they
are remembered for and it’s sad that the towers where destroyed because they
were a symbol of what they did.
