Shortness of breath started from the time of the wire rope, and for the first time, I experienced the feeling of almost shock from hypoxia in the theater. THE MOST IMAX FILM EVER! ! !

[last lines]
Philippe Petit: You remember Guy Tozzoli from the press conference, one of the men behind the creation of towers, he loved the walk, and he gave me a pass to the observation deck, so I could go any time I wanted. And I went there many times, alone. I would find myself there looking at the void, to see how the thought comes back. How the feeling returns. Because it was a beautiful day.
Philippe Petit: And you know this pass I was given?
[holding up the card]
Philippe Petit: Well, these passes they have a date on them. A date when they expire. But on my pass, Mr. Tozzoli, he crossed out the date and he wrote on it: FOREVER.
