      One of the police officers said it was like watching something once in a lifetime. He was untethered and dancing in the void, his feet were actually leaving the wire.
      The towers themselves were such a monumental development at the time, people hated them. "Welcome to NYC, home of the Chrysler building, Empire State, and the boxes they came in." But Petit was the first person who humanized them. He put his mark on them. The authorities were having problems leasing out all the space too, they'd flooded the market and needed publicity and public relations. Petit's once in a lifetime act of art became a win win situation. And he became somewhat of a folk hero.

    You really have to give Philippe Petit credit. He didn’t do what he did to prove himself brave to to be famous, He did it because it was for the art. To this day he holds the record that can never be broken. Philippe Petit walked across the wire eight times while many would have just done it once.

    I've been rewatching this video every so often because it always reminds me that once a person finds their purpose, nothing and no one can stop them. I'm in my early 20s, and I'm currently still trying to figure out what my purpose in life is. I've reached a point where I'm "good" where I am, but I feel like I'm capable of more. In a sense, I feel stuck. Mostly because I don't know what I want and/or what I'm meant to do. But videos like this give me hope. Once that person finds their purpose, nothing can stop their drive and ambition. Idk who needs to see this or if anyone is at the same point as me, but keep searching. The time will come when your true path will be revealed, and when it does come....nothing will stop you.

    He's an extraordinary man. I've watched everything I could get my hands on over the years. As a 7 year old when this happened, I was mesmerized and awestruck. I once rollerbladed all the way from the upper east side (my brother pulling me on his mountain bike) to the Twin Towers. That was 5 years before they were imploded. I skated between them and passed up riding to the top...a decision I deeply regret. Always thought I'd get another chance and had been to the top of the Empire State building and Sears Tower, figuring I'd already been that high up. Was still pretty cool zooming around the base of the buildings.

    The first time I heard about this guy was from, the man who walked between the towers. What he did in 1974 was pretty much unheard of, and I’m glad they gave him an actual cinematic film. Whenever the topic of the twin towers is brought up, most people think back to those horrific attacks on innocent civilians, and the absolute pain and terror that people had to experience, but this man made a beautiful, almost dreamlike memory of the towers for everyone to remember. Ironically enough, as Captain Vincent R. Ardolino from the 9/11 Boatlift documentary said, “I never want to say the word I should have. If I do it and fail I tried and if I do it and succeed better for me.” Philipe never gave up on his mission and in the end he was beyond successful. His balancing act will, or at least should, forever be legendary.

      His friends knew that he wouldn't have any problem! This was not like an ordinary person trying to do the same thing. This was Phillipe Petit. He was more comfortable walking a tightrope than he was walking on ordinary ground. Every stunt he did on that wire he had done before, hundreds of times, and much more difficult stunts as well. He also could walk loose-rope, which is like tightrope only much looser, so you can't count on it maintaining its position, so it's much more difficult and unpredictable. The only real difference between walking the towers and his normal routine was the strong wind, and he had tight-roped during all kinds of weather. I once saw him do his routine in the middle of a windy thunderstorm, in Washington Square Park.

    I grew up very near to Washington Square Park in the 1960s and '70s. I often saw Philipe Petit there, either walking a tightrope tied between two trees, or between a tree and a statue, or whatever, or, doing his other acts. He was an amazing juggler, and did all kinds of tricks with his shabby black hat. He could stretch out his arm, with his hat on his head, and then abruptly twitch his head in a way that would make the hat roll down his arm into his hand. That is how he would conclude his routine: he would snap the hat from his head to his hand, and then walk right up to the spectators, hat in hand, for them to put money into the hat for him.
    He had this paradoxical demeanor which the video doesn't get quite right, but that's not embarrassing, because it's very difficult to imitate: obviously foreign, but equally obviously at home in NYC, humble but also supremely arrogant, tense but also self-assured, friendly but challenging, mute but communicative. Intimidating.

    Great video! This is my favorite movie recap channel! Personally though, the one thing this video doesn't tell you is that this movie actually blows. The story is already masterfully told by the actual people involved in a fantastic documentary from 2008 called "Man on a Wire." I highly recommend that film over this one.

    When he was walking the rope, I felt alright, but that scene on the edge made me feel weird.
