The movie celebrates both Philippe and the towers themselves. The effects are just amazing. Even on a fairly small computer screen, the sense of scope and height are just amazing to behold. A lot of modern techniques for this super heavy use of Green/Blue screen were in fact pioneered by the Star Wars prequels. And now the technology can deliver such breathtaking results.

It's amazing how VFX have developed, It all looks so photorealistic down to every detail!

It's still heart rending to see the towers again

It's so great for this sort of thing to be made before the man that the movie is about has died.

Phillipe Petite, one of my hero's. A man with an art form that is indescribable, truly profound. This man walked on a tightrope across the 2 world trade towers that were in New York, Some may think he was crazy to do so, but I think it was true art in its purest form. After coming down from his walk on the rope, the New York police and journalists kept asking him the same stupid question "Why did you do it?" why? why?, there can be no such question, such a question is totally unnecessary and meaningless to ask. It is like asking a great mountaineer why he wants to stand on top of Everest, it is like asking why did Angelo paint his works of art? Art has nothing to do with "Why" it has more to do with the fact that it is there to be done, and more to do with the human spirit and what we are as humans, and what makes us human. When Phillipe Petite walked across the tightrope strung between the world trade centre, he became art, ART in its truest sense, in its most purest undiluted form. Even to their eyes the stunned onlookers, from way below, knew that something graceful and remarkable was taking place way above them, something extraordinary, something that made their hearts leap with utter amazement and with joy. I wish I had been there to witness this great man doing this. This man is the epitome of what humanity is, he is the man that spits in the face of death with a smile, and still lives to tell his graceful and elegant tale. I cry with tears at his art, and what he did in New York, why do I cry? I do not really know, tell me?

The greatest visual effects ever created for a film. Saw it in IMAX 3D and it was the most real and terrifying experience Ive ever had. Pure cinema.

The most beautiful twin towers in the world

Such a beautiful, beautiful story and movie. Applause.

Even on my 47 inch TV it was heart stopping! This film is beautiful and what these people accomplished was nothing short of miraculous. I loved how they seemed to imbue the entire film with Philippe's spirit. I did cry for the entire last half hour though. 😭😂😭😂

This is beyond courageous. It's crazy and I don't condone it, but it's also a miracle what he did. He should be put in the Guinness book of World records.

in love with this movie!

This kind of capacity for full-CGI environments makes me think of how different the Star Wars Prequels would be if Lucas waited fifteen years.

+Daniel Rosenberg Yeah I agree, but in real life, you never know when the moment is, is like when they were going to do Jurassic Park, they were going to use stop motion until they decided the CGI. Or even in the Star Wars Prequels, indeed George Lucas waited to have the technology, and yet is looks cartoonish compared to now. Even Alfonso Cuarón said: "The thing with technology [in movies] is what looks awesome now, will look dated tomorrow" So is funny to think if in the future a Holographic HUD like in Iron Man is invented and people say... How'd Iron Man would look if they waited. Greetings Daniel! :)

Fantastic movie!

visual effects look realistic, good movie, not to mention based on a real event.

it is epic and you have to watch it

Impressive visual affects

He's true: modern supermovies just kill you with all the action and massive explosions and epic dragons

Maaan, while being herbally amused, i realized. Visual effects like these, and therefore movies like these, that have some actual meaning and value, are only way to show for the future generation. How something actually happened by recreating it super realistic. Just woow. Probably gonna watch whole movie if i can stay up somehow :D Oh and the point was. In the actors case and especially tthe ones that are in such movies, is that they have true cultural meaning for everyone, not like some boy band or cheap ass movie start in hallmark movies. On musicians its another case... oh well. Doesnt matter. None of this makes sense "post" :D

I love the movie it's amazing😀😁😀😁

Phillip Petit conseguiu o inalcançável e o inimaginável, não acredito que alguém conseguirá repetir este feito surreal

I give props to the person that saw him cause I can see a thing

Awesome movie, sad to see the towers leave a new image of a none identical World Trade Center.

man only one book from my library brought me all the way over here

stunning CGI.

Very good.

Woah, wait I didn't even know it actually happened! I thought the walk was just a movie remake of 2008!

Great movie about following your dreams...simply that. No reason, money or political motivation which has become common place these days. Shallow people doing stuff for reasons other than passion, selfies, bullshit. The movie is a nice piece of art in an industry "loaded" with dischargeable movies.

Which one? The video started off with either Pourquoi? or The Walk (both starts off similar), and ended with Two Loves, all by Alan Silvestri. I'm pretty sure the other songs are from the movie's original soundtrack.
