Man On Wire

The film Man On Wire is about a man's dream to tightrope walk across the Twin Towers. The film shows his history of tightrope walking as a young kid and follows through his practice and other major tightrope walks he accomplished throughout his life. He felt like the Towers belonged to him ever since he first saw a magazine article about the Towers being built. He knew he had to follow his destiny to reach this goal, even if it meant getting arrested, or worse, death. The man makes some powerful points throughout the film saying, "It's a wonderful thing to die in the exercise of your passion." Walking across the Twin Towers felt to him and his accomplices like a work of art. After viewing the walk there is no doubt that what he did was a beautiful work of art and meant something more than just a silly tightrope walk across two elevated spaces.
