Review of Man on Wire. Welcome to the mile high club.

Man on Wire is a documentary about the rope walker Phillipe Pitite who walked between the twin towers of the World Trade Center in 1974. The film is a bit short timing in at about an hour and a half. The first hour focuses mainly on His life before that faithful day but to keep it fresh, there are bits of the breaking into the WTC reenacted as to keep the audience interested. When Phillipe is being interviewed it's easy to tell that he tries to add his own little flair in while explaining everything and it is amusing. But the climax and best part is without a doubt when he's up on the wire. You can actually feel how far high up he is and the euphoria is very well mirrored and explained between the real-life pictures, the acting, and the witnesses. Surprisingly enough, the soundtrack was great as well. The music changed when he was up walking or when he was practicing or socializing.The Verdict:Man on Wire is a fantastic documentary that will definitely entertain even the most mainstream moviegoer. And the French accents are fun to listen to! I give it five "hundred" floors too high out of five. 5/5.
