I finally saw the last half, maybe more, of this movie. Very interesting. I recommend it. About Phillipe Petit who walked a tightrope between the Twin Towers in 1974.

I saw this two weeks ago on DVD. Riveting. It had a lot of reenactments though and employed modern filmmaking techniques like non-chronological story-telling. What I was disappointed about was that there was no actual footage of him walking the tightrope, only stills. Anyway, it's certainly better than the usual Hannah Montana and Mamma Mia crap.

What struck me -- and the destruction is never mentioned -- was the juxtaposition of 1974 and 2009. The 1974 "crime" and what we have now.

True. And the film would be less interesting if the twin towers of the World Trade Center weren't decimated on 9/11. The wife and I kept talking about that during the viewing of the film. Even the little illegitimate brat mentioned it.
