    I was 14 when he did this. I remember seeing him on the news being hauled away in handcuffs. I just watched the movie and it was absolutely amazing. Especially in light of the fact that the towers are now gone. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to see them and go up to the observation deck before 9/11. I believe his experience must have been akin to landing on the moon.

    I saw the film on the BBC. I was spellbound! That morning Phillipe achieved something beyond art and showmanship. The images from this film will stay in your mind forever. The film itself is a fitting memorial to the Twin Towers.

  5. Conker111 Says:

    A man did something …
    A man did something on that day which was beyond art – something people usually have to interpret and discuss the meaning of, while “man on wire” was simply beautiful, prancing with death.

    But since you cannot understand how thats even worth £19 I’m sure you’ll understand this: u r a fag. lol

  6. loftpigeon Says:

    why we have to pay …
    why we have to pay almost £19 wen it comes out on dvd, just 2 watch a man walk across a wire is beyond me?

    Me too! Ever since I saw it last night I think about it all the time. I think this man is an example to us all. What he did made me realize how life should be.

    Jean Luis wasn’t crying out of grief…he was remembering the beauty of the act. Sometimes something is so beautiful that you can’t hold back the tears.

  12. lachtungbaby Says:

    what ever happened …
    what ever happened to Jean Luis, Phillipe’s best friend. It seemed that he was overwhelmed at the end of the movie with grief. Is there any information on their relationship today?? Or if their relationship soured after the walk?

    does anybody else think petit is hot as a young man?

    i so wanted to be that girl he bedded at the end.

    i know you mean, his life changed suddenly and he left his old friends. i was left feeling like he used them, unconsciously or not.

    I like the home footage they took, that really gave the impression we were part of this “conspiracy”.

    Many people will be over 40 and homeless thanks to the economy, may have to do that or be a hobo

    The sequal is to be called “Coin in Pocket”, I was just reading a print review, about a year after this posting! I’ve yet to see it, but it’s on the list!

    if you are under 30 …
    if you are under 30 yrs old and have a tolerance for humiliation and the stupidity of the general public then it has great potential for personal growth and connecting with random creative people as well as the best vehicle in the world for traveling. i was a juggler who never spoke and improvised comedy with the whatever was in my crowd

    Man on Wire is brilliant. Petit, Jean Louis and their crew make Al Queda look like a bunch of pussies.
