Man on Wire is a 2008 film about a human construction of an amazing feat of boldness and ludicrousness; not so much about wire walking but about a corageous man chasing to the final hurdle his childhood dream.
Philippe Petit and his assembled band of brothers, their relationships and a beginning to end extravagance in their poetic project, their metaphor for life.
This film can educate us on how to concern ourselves resolutely on realising our dreams.
My personal feeling of this film were that of a sombre nature. There seemed to be a hopeless pessimism in each persons story that made me feel mildly cheerless and drained.
Philippe had a slightness about him of perhaps arrogance or egotism. That I suppose, he earned from his exotic lifestyle of adrenaline fielding and placelessness.
The film dwelled a little too much on worry and frightful anticipation. Indifference to excitement with an almost nonchalance, to the possible inevitability of a lurking doom.
It shows the sacrifice we as people have to make to live our dreams and the consequences of them being completed.
