Review of Man on Wire (2008) by Ethan P — 05 Dec 2015

I was a little irritated after having seen this movie. I should have seen it earlier. First I read the book "To Reach the Clouds" which is basicaly like Man On Wire but in book-form. Then I saw the movie The Walk.

When I saw the movie there were things that I couldn't really remember reading in the book so I kept wondering if it actually happened or if it was made up especially for the movie. Then I saw the documentary and I realised that all of the things from The Walk that I thought was fiction, actually happened in real life.

So I wish that I'd read the book first, then seen the documentary and last but not least seen The Walk. Then I probably would have enjoyed The Walk even more than I already did. But overall this was a good documentary, it's a fascinating story that I've enjoyed learning more about.
