The Walk (2015)

The movie is superb. Joseph did a spectacular job in it his look and his accent in French and English as the French spoke it , He really should have been nominated for a serious award as the globes or maybe even the Oscars. The movie is very underrated , the music and editing are superb only Zemeckis had some scenes that you felt the effect added on it and was just dull as most of the movies in the end of the year. The visual effects was average but it didn't have to be perfect cause it could present the idea and make you feel the intense and excited and on the edge of your seat with lots of sweats too . The movie too had the very quick rhythm that some less scenes when it took long to explain it you might feel bored but not for sure about that and also it's style was unique in it's preview and also the movie didn't make fun of the audience's smart and criticism which I very respect but it was too quick that you feel they might hide something wrong and you couldn't notice it and the ending scene which was amazing but went a little bit awesome exaggerated! By far one of Joseph's best performances and one of my favourite movies. 8.5/10

Before watching this awesome movie, I was thinking why should I waste 2 hours if this movie is all about a guy crossing Twin towers in rope. After watching movie reviews decided i should for it, and this is one of the BEST movie I have seen in recent times. Movie is visually enriching. This movie is a emotional journey and you will get immersed into hero's role. It resembles movies like BigFish and Life of PI. Hats off to director for coming up with a engaging screenplay right from the film beginning.

This is a splendid film in all respects. The acting has a highly effective subdued quality. There is much creative photography, for example some of the early shots of Petit riding his bicycle that have colour highlighted on a black and white scene. There is comedy, drama, suspense and interestingly drawn characters. It captures the essence of both Paris and New York. Of course the scenes from the top of the World Trade Centre are spectacularly good. I was amazed to read here that it was shot in Imax 3D. I'm thankful I didn't see it that way because even on my flat screen TV, the shots from the top of the tower were so gut wrenching that I had to turn away. (I'm a bit of an acrophobiac myself.) I was disappointed that there were no details on the IMDb on how the World Trade Centre was recreated so impressively. This was shot 14 years after it was destroyed on 9/11.Also curious how they put Petit at the very top of the Statue of Liberty for his narration. It must have been a set but it was hugely effective. There also must have been a great deal of computer generated effects. A really impressive film!

i didn't know who philippe petit was before i watch this film,let me tell you something:he is an exceptionnal man. great movie with outstanding visual effects that will take your breath away,it's been a surprise for me for it didn't get as much hype as it truly deserves. philippe petit walks on wire for fun,philppe petit is a talented,arrogant little man who takes walking on wires seriously and sees himself as an artist,philippe petit meets the mentor papa Rudy,learns some,philppe petit has a dream,to walk on a high wire set between the two highest towers in the world,it looks impossible until it's done! unbelievable determination and energy,a very unique perspective,a very inspiring story,wonderfully brought on screen.
