Very fitting word as the sky scraper referred to the highest yard or sail on a sail ship, which were usually the tallest structures in a port city or town at any given time.
I learned about these towers through a 9/11 joke during science class when I was 8 in 2008, I’ve been fascinated by them ever since. The scale, the eloquent facade details/ interiordetails were incredible
@@1stwonder788 Wow that is so odd to me. I was 5 in 2008 and not a year went by in school when we didn’t watch 9/11 videos in several of our classes. I can’t think back to a time when I didn’t know about 9/11.
BROOOOOOO I literally couldn't I was about to lose my lunch just being on top of the Empire State Building and that isn't even as tall and I was behind a bunch of bars from the edge...
Read the book that this movie 🍿 is based off of : The Man Who Walked Between The Towers. Mordecai Goldstein wrote it. It’s a children’s book but wonderful! It got a Caldecott honor award for being a great book! I own a copy but have 3 away to family and friends
He wrote in his autobiography, "My towers became our towers. I saw them collapse - hurling, crushing thousands of lives. Disbelief preceded sorrow for the obliteration of the buildings, perplexity descended before rage at the unbearable loss of life."
@@LipticZoneIf my memory serves me correctly, this movie was shown in 3D and made some audience members motion sick. I think that's what happened, but I'm not sure. 🤔
@@circleinforthecube5170They were pretty cool, weren't they? It's really sad that they're gone because I've always wanted to visit them when I was a kid, but 9/11 occurred and that dream went down the toilet.
Joseph Gordon Levitt actually met the real Philippe Petit, and ( the real Philippe ) taught Levitt how to wire walk ! They went over to The 9/11 Memorial Park and Petit had Levitt wire walk between the two foundations of The WTC Foundations to get a good idea of what it was like!
It was an absolutely Amazing 👏🏽 Honor to work with Philippe and bless the World walking the wire in beginning 🙌🏼 and Eternal Memories ❤️ of the Twin Towers 🎉
I visited America last year and was shocked to learn everyone had died in their homes as moving an inch and breathing oxygen were both made illegal. WHY DIDN’T I VISIT BACK WHEN THERE WAS FREEDOM?
Who ever came up with the word, "skyscraper" did a fantastic job. That's like the perfect word for these buildings.
It was Adolf H who came up with it
@@blackdynamite_5470 no it wasn’t lmao
@@blackdynamite_5470 no it was not lol, it was originally a name of a part of a ship
@@jakub2631 Yeah, I think it had to do with tall sailing ships.

This scene did such a phenomenal job in illustrating the absolute scale of the towers ♥️

You must not be American
@@jayden28430funny enough I am. They didn’t teach us about 9/11 at all

What was the joke?
@@matthewbertram3304 i'm falling_for_you . meme
2:05 anyone hear like a jet like engine…that gave me goosebumps…
Isn’t it the sound from machines in the WTC construction site?
In another universe, they were able to film the real towers for this movie.
And make a sequel
@@elloowu6293 A sequel about what? The story is already told. What would the sequel even be about?
@user-ri1gq3ec2q He crosses the twin towers during a fictional terrorist attack.
"2 Walk 2 Wire"
@@user-ri1gq3ec2qpeople would probably of done it twice, or similar feats.
@@user-ri1gq3ec2qidk man, the empire state building maybe, they'd figure something out
I love how he did all of it all and didn’t get caught before the big walk
2:00 kind of eerie as the camera looks up at the towers you can hear the roar of a jet overhead
Seems like this was intentionally done.
At the very last shot of the movie you can hear a plane getting closer while the camera stares off at the towers
Premonition
In a parallel universe, they shot this movie at the World Trade Center's Twin Towers.
I physically recoiled when he looked over the edge
3:06 nice that in the reflection of the South Tower, on the right you can see the North Tower, excellent recreation
I'm legit scared shitless watching him stand upon that beam.
I wonder if he still has that model of the towers.
4:32 seconds sent a sweat through my whole body.
This film is a visualization of anxiety
this guy is the real life sky walker
I love this French Man. ❤
I don't know what I did, youtube start to recommend all these The Walk and 911 related videos to me in the past few weeks.
September?
These towers... There's something else on them. The main characters from this movie.
BROOOOOOO I literally couldn't I was about to lose my lunch just being on top of the Empire State Building and that isn't even as tall and I was behind a bunch of bars from the edge...
When he was on that beam my body felt like i was tipping over

I wonder what Mr. Petit thinks about what happened to the towers later.

It's too bad that this movie emptied theaters everywhere.
it emptied theaters? What do you mean?

@sylvianapalma958 oh, jeez that's really tough. But that makes sense
It would have been alot easier if they knew about the tracks that the window washers would ride on down the side of the building.
Remember that they were a thing just makes the setup hilarious 😂
Amazing buildings.
they are pretty cool

Imagine if that was china steel 3:59
I would trust any beam that size, even if its made in china and very rusty.
Lots of things are made in China. Not all of them are bad.

Ironically enough if he had a safety wire on i reckon it would have caused him to fall off
I admire the guy but I am so glad I am not him.

Heath Ledger ❤❤❤
They look similar but that isn't heath.
Heath Ledger had already been dead for 8 years by the time this movie came out.
That’s Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Interestingly enough, he starred in 10 Things I Hate About You alongside Heath Ledger
@@no.5429they were both in the Christopher Nolan batman movies, although not in the same movies.
Takes years to learn how to fly an RC plane... Wat? Just wat? RC vehicles are toys...
french people 😃
love Levitt but that french accent is horrendous
back when america had freedom

What freedom is it lacking now, because you guys still claim to be the only 'free country' on the planet?
This movie was so bad tho lol
unrealistic plane missing
You're not funny.
stupid movie....bad performance. Should've left it a documentary
You a bad
