    What I loved most about the movie is that it never mentions the 9/11 attacks. It really gave the audience the chance to remember the World Trade Center as a normal and peaceful place.

      Mei-Lien Converse I'm aware of that. But I appreciated that here, for the first time in a long time, the Twin Towers were shown intact and standing proud, as they once did.

      Jay Quinones No, it's perfect just the way it is. It mentions a beautiful event, and any mention of the 9/11 attacks would've just ruined it.

      ***** Yes, for me, that was the saddest scene in the whole picture. That, and the one where he is told that he gave the towers a soul.

    • @NewMetallica
      @NewMetallica 8 років тому +125

      +Amara Thohan This is what he said in his book: "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." Besides paying tribute to those who were killed, Petit also called for a
      rebuilding of the towers, promising that "When the towers again twin-tickle the clouds, I offer to walk again, to be the expression of the builders' collective voice. Together, we will rejoice in an aerial song of victory."

    Just done watching 'The Walk' and it become my favorite right away. I may be too late to watch this but then I knew that this was based on a true story because I did heard it once. I just brush it off and thought the movie will make me feel just okay which delays me to watch this movie. Then slowly I forgot to watch this movie and funnily today I don't know why I suddenly remember about it and immediately watch it. I am amaze and it gave me heigh anxiety but at the same time thrilling and it was beautiful. I didn't believe some of the scenes were actually really where Phillipe walks a couple times and even sit and lay in the middle and the seagull with red that he saw, I thought it was just an exaggeration to make this movie interesting. However I quickly research and google about it and saw interviews and the real photographs and all of this are an actual events. Every details in the movie actually happened in the real life which makes me amaze even more. It is truly beautiful. This makes me change my perspective towards the WTC. It is an awful tragedy and it is normal for people to immediately thought about it when we mention 9/11 or WTC, but this makes me remember that there is also something beautiful happened way before the 9/11 and it is actually what makes the building beautiful. I could write a damn essay of what I thought or how I feel about the movie and the actual event. It is simply beautiful and I'm really appreciate this movie. It reminds us of the good times (even though I'm not born yet) and it is beautiful historical act. It is an art.

    I've been on Kingda Ka, the tallest roller coaster in the world. When you're getting ready for it you're terrified but at the top it is absolute bliss. This is probably my favorite movie because it reminds me of when I lived so close to that roller coaster, driving there with friends, being terrified as I lower the bars over my chest and being so happy at the very top.

    I visited the towers, after they bombed the basement. On the tour, I looked at the architecture and told myself that they will never bring town the towers.
    After they brought down the towers, I saw on the news, standing, the very part of the tower that I said could not come down. Now I know that this is in both
    the mind of the beholder and the creator, in that ,the towers first existed in the mind of the architect. And it probably still does and this is why there will be
    another one and it will still never come down.

    This movie was so realistic that is seems like the Twin towers are actually there standing majestic like overlooking NYC - JG-L pulls off being PP & with CGI technology they are all pull together to make you believe that we are eventually watching an event - That the world missed out on 1st time around Because unfortunately it was not filmed !!!

      It was an act of expression and the culmination of many years of planning and devotion to the idea that he could do it.
