All they have to do is move the camera the wrong way and whoop - there I go! This movie didn't really have that effect, only once did I find myself spinning while sitting absolutely still. Man On Wire is a beautiful movie that really should be seen on the big screen if you have the chance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-31822778901987862252008-08-26T10:20:00.000-07:002008-08-26T10:20:00.000-07:00"You're the best...around," people!How many movies..."You're the best...around," people!<BR/><BR/>How many movies do I give that to?!?<BR/><BR/>(To save anyone from looking - I've given it to 3 films this year: this one, TDK, and Wall*E.

The fact is, though, you're so hypnotized by Petit on the wire, and the music, that the height doesn't even come into the equation.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05222052132452709301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-14437632797508735632008-08-26T06:41:00.000-07:002008-08-26T06:41:00.000-07:00MoW was about a 3.

Patience - hopefully it'll be there soon.<BR/><BR/>Fox, I'm not bothered much at all by heights (at least not on screen), but if I were to gauge Cliffhanger and MoW on a 1-10 vertigo scale (with 10 being the worst), I'd give Cliffhanger probably a 7 and MoW a 3 or 4.
