what a walk

In 1974, Philippe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) with his accomplices stage a 'coup' to walk a high wire strung between the almost complete World Trade Towers. Papa Rudy (Ben Kingsley) is his mentor. Annie Allix (Charlotte Le Bon) is his girlfriend. Jean-Louis is his anarchist photographer. Barry Greenhouse (Steve Valentine) is his inside man with an office in the North Tower. Jean-Pierre is a Frenchman in NY who brings along two locals. The small group pulls off the impossible.

Robert Zemeckis delivers a straight timeline telling of this fascinating man's obsession. I would like a more imaginative use of a split timeline structure. The most compelling part of the walk is the caper to get in and the walk itself. It would be better to have that as the main timeline and flashback when needed. Joseph Gordon-Levitt along with everybody else do the french accent. It might bother some people. The wire walk can also bother people with vertigo. Nevertheless, the simple story is well told. The acting is solid. It has a bit of fun and plenty of excitement.

Based on a True Story

In 1974, the French street juggler and equilibrist Philippe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) decides to cross the towers of the World Trade Center walking on a tightrope. He travels from France to the USA with his girlfriend Annie (Charlotte Le Bon) and their friend and photographer Jean-Louis (Clément Sibony). They team-up with a small group of residents and plot a scheme to take their equipment to the roof of the building. Will Philippe make his dream come true?

"The Walk" is a highly entertaining adventure based on a true story. The performances are great but the special effect of the crossing of Philippe is amazing. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "A Travessia" ("The Crossing")

ALL ARTISTS ARE ANARCHISTS

The film is based on the true story of Philippe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who walked on a wire between the towers of the World Trade Center. We know the climax ending before it starts. The film flashes back to Paris and his childhood as we get glimpses of his training and the people who help him along. I didn't see it in 3D and I was a bit underwhelmed. The tightrope at Notre Dame seemed rather fake, looking like he was walking on a floor.

Yes a French guy with some help, walked across the WTC.
