Man on Wire

I enjoyed this las film for a number of reasons. As the film progressed I felt the music se the mood the the scenes. The story kept building up and the music built the anticipation along with it. Compared to other films we have watched I liked the reenactments of the day of the stunt. The story its self it wild, and the films followed the Frenchman's past and motivation to create his greatest performance. Another aspect of the film that I enjoyed was how each character involved in the task was introduced. each person was not just brought up, they were introduced as like a character in a ocean's eleven movie. Each have some sort of nicknames and personality. The film as a whole was inspirational, but as we talked about in class, you realize how the main characters attitude changed your view of him after he basically dropped his lifelong friends and girlfriend. As a fellow New Yorker it was great to see such magnificent shots of the World Trade center. It makes you realize how amazing those buildings were and with that how crazy his stunt was. I would agree with the academy that this film deserved the academy award for best documentary of the year. Out of all the films we saw this semester, it was the best at keeping your attention and interest into what will come next.
