    A very compact documentary~! Sure enough, art comes from life. The most imaginative ones are not created out of thin air!...

    For documentaries, I still don’t know how to appreciate them, and the viewing volume is too small. I like to recreate those parts of the life of the Philips team in the 1970s, and the part of having sex with a female fan after successfully walking through the Twin...

    I want to walk and dance in the clouds, if I die for it, it will be so beautiful. The most beautiful thing is that I just want to do this for no...

    9/10, Life is a miracle. An amazing documentary. The technique is sublime, but it does not feel dazzling at all, extending the theme and artistic conception to a far-reaching and...

    Based on the reenactment of the simulated robbery film, the flashbacks that break the timeline are interspersed not only to eliminate the drama through reflection, but also to synchronize the construction of a building with the growth of a personality. The multi-perspective piece together shows that Philip seems to be complete but he is not. Still mysterious images, it seems that neither creation nor rebellion can be summed up. So...why? When all is not there...

    I should watch it again. It’s the most dramatic documentary I’ve seen so far. The director wished he could use the music to the extreme. In the end, the soft and soothing music when I successfully walked in the World Trade Center was very good. I really want to use it as a soundtrack in the future. Philip Petit was born on the 13th of...

    What a wonderful story to watch the people walking on the tightrope of the World Trade Center in the post-911 era. A romantic extreme way. The soundtrack is very naughty. The G-type detective is used. Why is the story going? Because of beauty. The best answer to the modern "scientific" paradigm is a tightrope walking not only a literal resistance to physics and fragile life, but a metaphorical resistance to the constraints of social...

Man on Wire quotes

  • Philippe Petit: It's impossible, that's sure. So let's start working.

  • Alan Welner: The fact that I could not speak French, and didn't know what the sound was or what had happened with the wire... was probably just as well.
