I was lured into seeing this film by my teenage son, who is a circus acrobat by genetic conviction as surely as Philippe Petit was a high-wire walker and as I am a musician. I would never have entered the theater if I’d known what I’d be seeing. I have a pathologically empathetic response to films. When I was a cramped kid, I mature to wail out warnings to Tweetie Bird when the cat got advance. During fight scenes, my whole body twitches and my wife gets nervous for the safety of the unsuspecting head in front of me. I’m a climber in proper life. I’ve been to the summit of Annapurna. But my blood pressure rises and I tremble with acrophobia at Hollywood simulations of climbing. This film Man on Wire took two years off my life, I’m definite. It’s that intense, with its coy intersplicing of unruffled photos and super-eight footage of Petit in mid-air and fine listless talking-head interviews of Petit and his accomplices, years later, clearly establishing that they all survived to sing the fable.

Those interviews of middle-aged daredevils, reminiscing about their greatest caper, were as intense for me as the dodgy accomplishment of the adventure. It was literally the waste of a like affair with life for all of them, something “too hot not to wintry down,” an overture too overwhelming to be followed by a mere opera. When Petit’s boyhood friend broke down in tears at the waning of their friendship, when Petit’s wife-the-love-of-his-life felt the reality that his life no longer needed hers, the whole social cost of Petit’s obsession moved me also almost to tears. Hey, I might have cried if my heart had slowed down to twice normal. I felt an speed to grab my son and hug or shake him, saying “don’t let your art be more to you than your life.”
There’s more to this film than a mere victimless heist thriller.
Let me location upfront that I am a sucker for grand non-fiction documentaries. I’ve always believed that life is stranger than fiction. And this is unbiased the last (and perhaps best) example of it.

“Man on Wire” (98 min.) tells the fabulous fable of Phillipe Petit’s dream (and eventual reality) of walking on a high wire between the two WTC buildings on August 7, 1974. The movie starts with his humble beginngins of being a street artist, eventually leading to his wanting to do high wire walks, starting with the Paris Notre Dame, then the Sidney Harbor, and then eventually the World Trade Center Towers. The movie does an proper job building the excitement into what it took to eventually pull off that implossible event. All of the main players of the event are interviewed now more than 30 years after the event, and Philippe Petit turns out to be a master entertainer and epic teller. When you are watching it all unvolve, you can’t but succor be in anxiety of it all. Objective exilerating, period.
If this movie doesn’t rep serious consideration of being nominated for best documentary of 2008 at the Oscars, there is something terribly injurious with the entire system. This is one of the most spirited movies I’ve seen this year, and I’ve seen a lot of movies.
