Why do the impossible? Why follow your dreams? These, one can't tell by words but show. Are you ready to be swept off your feet at the edge of the void by an emphatic force of zeal?
Plunge into this heart-stopping, lip-smacking, eye-shuttering, breath-arresting & mind-blowing caper coup by the glorious high-wire walker who loved what he did with all his flesh & bones, heart & soul!
Philippe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a fundamentally multifaceted, carefully sketched & true-to-the-book character whom one could savor from maximum angles! He runs across the last corners of the Twin Towers with ease & no fear, as it is an extension to his character. Also, one could clearly see the increase in rope's height correlating with Petit's experience, fervent vigor & career graph. Just take a look at how the makers have striven to tell this remarkable story as visually as possible. That's filmmaking!
One's heart would pause when Beethoven's Für Elise begins to terrorize the walk! An intensively emotional moment it is! The depth of impact is perforated & carved to the deepest. Dariusz Wolski's holographic point-of-view shots are brilliant too!
At certain parts, the plans can get a little ho-hum. But, just remember, you are about to experience the liveliest biography in the library of motion pictures!
The Walk is something to always remember, even if Robert Zemeckis or Philippe Petit forgets it. Consider missing this film in the theatres tantamount to skipping one of the most important episodes in life. This is unlike anything you've seen before!
