Man on Wire

I thought Man on Wire was a very interesting movie. Although I like it, I feel like they drug it out to be too long. I think they should have told about his previous events very briefly, and then gotten to the point of the twin towers. He is a very animated character; I think his accent helps his character. Just by listening to him talk about it we can tell how passionate he is over this subject. It is insane that the friends that helped him create this magnificent even are not even on talking terms now because of what he did after the event. This proves that he is obsessed with wire walking because he just threw away his lifelong friends for some random girl. That part of the movie was very strange and surprising. Although is it strange, I think that part of the story is needed to tell the whole experience. This movie was created after 9/11 happened. I think they avoided the 9/11 subject all together because it would have distracted the viewers from the story. They would be giving a different story than they wanted to by telling the emotions they had from 9/11. That could be another reason why they didn’t include 9/11; maybe their emotions are too strong to talk about what happened. He had signed his name at the top of one of the towers. Now his signature is probably dust. That has to make him emotional because that is the only proof they had besides the video and now that piece of evidence is gone forever.
