Man On Wire was interesting to me. I liked seeing how they [director James Marsh and his crew] built up to the big event of tightrope walk between the World Trade Centers. It was really interesting to see a man who started out as a beginner [novice?] and then grew up to be able to do something so amazing. It shows that if you keep on practicing you will get better in the end. I enjoyed seeing other peoples' perspectives as well; it makes us see the story from every different angle, not just one. It put more volume into the story and let us get what it was like to be there.
I also liked how they had the interviews about the story. It let us see the person now and how much they remembered from that one time. It also showed us how they told the story, since everyone tells a story differently, and that generations change the story. So someone might say "A man tightroped across the two twin towers," while these people will say, "a man tightroped on a wire for 15 minutes on the twin towers." We get the REAL story and not a story from other people who weren't even there, like the history documentaries.
I liked how they even told us what happened after and were they are now. Showing that even after the great moment, they are still living to this day, going on with life. Sadly, I think the guy who did it was beaten, by a guy who tightroped in Dubai, but the thing is, his was a surprise while the persons in Dubai wasn't. The person in Dubai had everything prepared for him and people said he didn't even look scared. The Man on Wire's tightrope was not prepared at all, no one knew except for the people involved. This makes the moment even greater and different!
