Man on Wire

Notes from "Man on Wire"

*Phillipe Petit has a dream about Twin Towers.
*Annie and Phillipe become close through Phillipe's hobby of wire-walking.
*Phillipe wants to wire-walk across Twin Towers and has friends disguise themselves as workers to get into Twin Towers and on the roof.
*Phillipe and two friends bring equipment to the top of the one tower and two friends go to the top of the other tower, guard comes, one friend runs away, Phillipe and his friend with him hide under tarp.
*Phillipe seems obsessed with wire-walking, kind of looney/crazy. Rides unicycle around.
*Phillipe studies Twin Towers, draws diagrams, notes, spies. Steps on nail and gets injure=likes it because he gets more attention from people.
*pretended to be reporter with friends to get on Twin Towers to take pictures/study roof.
*shoot bow and arrow with string connected to wire to other tower.
*did it, got arrested, recognized and respected by alot of people afterward.
