For the love of Documentary Film: Man on Wire
If you are not aware, an incredibly ambitious man named Phillip Petit, decided in the summer of 1974, along with a very dedicated team, to wire walk across the World Trade Centre towers in New York City, USA. The subject of Man on Wire is Petit's incredible journey to walk the tight rope across the Twin Towers and in doing so, create a marvelous spectacle that was never to be repeated.
The most wondrous effect that this film had on me was in part due to Petit's fascinating gift to dance upon a high wire with the ease and grace of a feline and the strength of a being who knows inherently, that this is the path his life was meant to choose.
Regardless of any outside opinion's on Petit's choice of artistic expression, he rose above all judgements by instilling a sense of awe and wonder from anyone to happen to watch his high wire act. In Petit's face, you can see a concentration that nearly belies mortal comprehension; a mixture of utter mind and body power and pure, unadulterated joy.
The power of Petit's mind so obviously plays a huge role in his attempts and successes at wire walking, that I immediately recognized this human being as someone who has conquered their fears and in turn, has made the impossible, possible!
Man on Wire has earned the distinction of Best Documentary Film contender for this year's Oscar ceremonies and rightly so. It is very exciting to see that the masses are beginning to embrace this type of thinking, where nothing is impossible and to think so only limits what we think we can actually do: which, by the way, is anything! I am thrilled to share Man on Wire with everyone and to showcase it as a film of the future, along with What If? The Movie, What The Bleep Do We Know, The Beautiful Truth (to be released very soon) and The Secret, amongst a plethora of others.
