Review of The Walk (2015) by Michael1208 — 23 Oct 2015
This biographical drama about high-wire artist Philippe Petit is presented in a surprising and classical narration from the beginning till the end which turns out very successful thanks to its well balanced visual effects and fact adaptations.
The plot is layered into several structures perfectly, its progression from dream, plannings, challenges, actions, consequences until memories are developed in an acceptable pace. Main actor Joseph-Gordon Levitt's efforts in practicing high-wire experience and learning French are fruitful which his charming performance and immersion in portraying Philippe manages to attract the audiences to fall in love and to follow the fierce determination to achieve a "suicidal ambition".
Director Zemeckis' ingenious camera work, CGI, SFX as well as the beautiful scores have brought this chilling and insane lifetime experience to a feeling like walking on the wire in real life. Most importantly, despite keeping the audiences on the edge of their seats and terrifying height, it delivers the messages of not giving up your own dream even the others might see it as an insane imagination.
