man on wire

Man on Wire is a documentary about a group, organized by a French tight rope walker, who tight rope walk in between the world trade center buildings. The documentary does a good job establishing the circumstances and history leading up to the event, establishing memorable characters, although I can't remember their names and most of the people interviewed recount the event consistently, even with their personal bias. The interviewed people gave the impression that they were doing the movie to document the event as it occurred, not an exaggerated account. As a Non Fiction story, Man on Wire is an interesting story that provides suspense, solid character development and a reliable account of what they actually did to achieve such a feat. All in all the movie was enjoyable to watch and was an interesting story.

assign. 1

My A Day At The Races album was playing that night. Our smash brothers games were taking about as long as a song. All we could hear was the sound of Freddie Mercury's voice and the wail of Brian May's guitar as we battled for the title of most able. Our blows met on heavy drum beats and bass notes. As the final note rang out so did my final blow, naming me the victor.
