Man on Wire

Man on Wire is a very well made documentary and it is a lot different then the other films that we have watched this year. This piece is a lot lighter and fluffier than what we have been doing most of the year which is watching propaganda films or films about propaganda. Philippe Petit is a cray man and an eccentric who you have to give credit to for accomplishing his dreams. I thought the most interesting part of this film was how the filmmaker recreated the scenes of them hiding in the twin towers with the voice over from the actual people involved. The film was extremely well made and i thought it was a very interesting character piece. The only thing I did not like about the film was how they glossed over the end pretty quick. I wanted to know a little more about how once Petit accomplished his dreams he moved on not only from wire walking but from all the people that helped him get there. I thought this part of the film was a little to rushed and could have been developed a little more. Overall I think this a very good film that is very interesting and it makes me want to see the narrative take in The Walk.
