Why? There is no Why !!??!


It is Philippe Petit's response to the barrage of reporters come from all over the world to question him as he finishes his crossing of the Manhattan sky, without safety protection, on a cable... madness... a must see in MAN ON WIRE. A beautiful story. A man untouched by the opinions of others. A man with a desire who sets a goal and reaches it no matter what. It is beautiful, it is strong. One feels very small (literally) after this film, raved right up and... inspired.
