[hide]Plot[edit]
In 1973, French street performer Philippe Petit is trying to make a living in Paris with juggling acts and wire walking, much to the chagrin of his father. During one performance, he eats a hard candy which was given to him by an audience member and injures his tooth. He visits the dentist and, while in the waiting room, sees a picture in a magazine of the Twin Towers in New York City. He analyzes the photo and decides to make it his mission to walk a tightrope between the two buildings. Meanwhile, he is evicted from his parents' house by his father, citing his lack of income and the fact that he's a street performer. Philippe returns to the circus that inspired him to wire walk as a child and practices in the big top after hours, but is caught by Papa Rudy, whom he impresses with his juggling skills. While performing one day, Philippe meets a beautiful woman and fellow street performer named Annie, and they begin a romantic relationship. He also explains that although he didn't know it at the time, she was his first "accomplice". He tells Annie about his dream to walk between the towers of the World Trade Center and she supports him and gives him a perfect place to practice at her music school. Philippe meets a photographer named Jean-Louis and befriends him, becoming Philippe's official photographer and second accomplice in his "coup".
Philippe requests Papa Rudy for tips and advice on knot tying and rope rigging, which Papa Rudy agrees to for compensation. After failing his first real performance by falling into a lake, Philippe decides to attempt to walk on the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris to redeem himself. He succeeds with the support of Jean-Louis but is arrested in the process. Jean-Louis introduces Jeff, another accomplice who has a fear of heights, to Philippe and Annie, while explaining his idea to use a bow and arrow tied to a fishing line to get the cable across the Towers. Philippe and Annie then travel to America, setting the date for the walk as August 6, 1974. Philippe dresses in disguises to spy on the construction crews and scout out the locations, impaling his foot on a nail in the process. At one point, he meets a man who reveals he is a fan of Philippe's and saw him at Notre Dame. He introduces himself as Barry Greenhouse, a life insurance salesman who works in the building, becoming another member of Philippe's team. They also meet French-speaking electronics salesman J.P. and his friends, amateur photographer Albert, and stoner David. The gang goes over the plan several times, ending with the notion that Philippe must be on the wire before the construction crews arrive at 7:00 AM.
On the eve of the event, the gang encounters several speed bumps, such as being three hours behind schedule, guards on the premises and nearly dropping the heavy cable off the roof. However, they successfully string up the ropes and set the cables. Philippe begins his walk, explaining that everything around him faded once he started, except the wire and himself, and that for the first time in his life he felt truly thankful and at peace. He successfully crosses the gap between the towers while crowds below cheer him on. Once he reaches he has an urge to return, so he walks back again across the void. At one point he kneels to his audience and even lies down. The cops arrive, and threaten to remove him by helicopter if he doesn't get off but Philippe relentlessly continues to walk back and forth until he achieves the feat a total of six times. He is arrested on sight, with the police and construction workers commending him on his bravery. Philippe and his accomplices are eventually released and he decides to remain in New York, but Annie chooses to follow her dream, and return to Paris. The building manager gives Philippe a free pass to the observation decks of both towers, and Philippe gives a final look to the camera, with the Twin Towers in the background, as he says the expiry date on the pass was crossed out and changed to "forever".

Production[edit]
On January 23, 2014, it was announced that Robert Zemeckis would direct a film based on the story of Philippe Petit's walk between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in 1974. It was also confirmed that Zemeckis wanted Joseph Gordon-Levitt to star in the film as Petit.[3] Zemeckis first came across the story of Petit from the children's book The Man Who Walked Between the Towers.[4] At first Zemeckis questioned whether or not the story was true as he did not recall the event saying he "somehow missed it".[4] Zemeckis immediately recognized the potential for a movie telling Deadline "To me, it had everything that you want in a movie. It had an interesting character who’s driven, and obsessed, and passionate. It had all this caper stuff. He was an outlaw. There was suspense. And then he did this death-defying thing."[4] By February 2014, Joseph Gordon-Levitt was confirmed to star in the film.[5] In April 2014, Charlotte Le Bon, Ben Kingsley and James Badge Dale joined the cast of the film.[6]On May 6, 2014, it was announced that the film would be released on October 2, 2015.[7] In May 2014, Steve Valentine and Ben Schwartz joined the cast of the film.[8][9] Principal photography began on May 26, 2014, inMontreal, and ended on August 6, 2014.[10][11]
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who had no formal high-wire experience, trained directly with Philippe Petit. By the end of the eighth day, he was able to walk on the wire by himself, and continued to practice while shooting.[12] Along with a stunt double, the actor shot the climactic wire-walking scenes on a soundstage; it had reconstructions of the top two stories of the tower and a wire approximately twelve feet off the ground, which was connected out across a green abyss and was anchored on a pole.[12] To learn more about what it was like, Gordon-Levitt also walked the distance between the World Trade Center memorial's two pools, which are located where the Twin Towers stood before the September 11 attacks. He visited the original observatory once before, in 2001, during his first summer in New York City. "It was touristy but I wanted to go do it. I remember it distinctly. It felt more like being in the sky than being on a tall building."[12] Aside from wire-walking, Gordon-Levitt also learned to speak French fluently, perfecting a Parisian accent aided by his co-star Charlotte Le Bon and other French actors on set.[12]
Release[edit]
The film premiered at the New York Film Festival on September 26, 2015.[13]It had an early release at IMAX theaters on September 30, 2015, before a wide theatrical release on October 9, 2015.[14]
Reception[edit]
Box office[edit]
As of November 8, 2015, The Walk has grossed over $10.1 million in North America and $31 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $41.1 million, against a budget of $35 million.[2]
The film was released into IMAX theaters on Wednesday, September 30, 2015. In the opening weekend of its limited release, the film grossed $1.6 million, finishing 11th at the box office. During the first weekend of its wide release a week later, the film grossed $3.7 million, coming in seventh.[15]
Critical response[edit]
The Walk has received positive reviews from critics, with praise for Gordon-Levitt's performance, Zemeckis' direction, and the visual effects, particularly during the wire walk scene. On Rotten Tomatoes the film has a rating of 85%, based on 203 reviews, with an average rating of 7.2/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "The Walk attempts a tricky balancing act between thrilling visuals and fact-based drama – and like its wire-walking protagonist, pulls it off with impressive élan."[16] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 70 out of 100, based on 41 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[17] On CinemaScore, audiences gave the film an average grade of "A-" on an A+ to F scale.[15]
John Lasser of IGN gave the film an 8.6 out of 10 'great' score, saying, "The Walk is an amazing film, and is so on multiple levels. Joseph Gordon-Levitt puts forth such an easy charm crossed with a fierce determination that it is impossible not to fall in love with Philippe Petit as he attempts what sounds utterly suicidal. The planning and set up of the caper are as fun as any heist movie. And, even though everyone watching knows exactly what the film is building towards, the climactic sequence delivers everything you want and more."[18] Peter Debruge of Variety gave the film a positive review, saying "A filmmaker with a gift for overcoming the seemingly impossible puts audiences in the place of the man who walked between the Twin Towers in this gripping human-interest story."[19] David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive review, saying "The film's payoff more than compensates for a lumbering setup, laden with cloying voiceover narration and strained whimsy."[20] Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune gave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying "The film gets better as it goes, and the last half-hour (especially in 3-D on an Imax screen) is nearly everything it should be: scary, visually momentous, meticulously realized."[21] Lou Lumenick of the New York Post gave the film three out of four stars, saying "Zemeckis finally delivers the goods in abundance in the section that really counts: A vertigo-inducing digital re-creation of Petit's famous walk back and forth between the towers."[22]
Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post gave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying "The Walk satisfies as an absorbing yarn of authority-flouting adventure and as an example of stomach-flipping you-are-there-ness. The journey it offers viewers doesn't just span 140 feet, but also an ethereal, now-vanished, world."[23] Peter Travers ofRolling Stone gave the film three out of four stars, saying "Expect the worst from the first half- that's before Philippe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) strings up a wire between the World Trade Center towers. But then, oh, baby, does this movie fly."[24] Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film three out of four stars, saying "The last 30 minutes or so are all about the walk. Dariusz Wolski's cinematography is beautiful... and Gordon-Levitt does some of his best acting when he's out on the wire and mostly silent, his face glowing from the sheer crazy joy he's feeling."[25] James Berardinelli of ReelViews gave the film three out of four stars, saying "It's two-thirds of a great film but the slow start and unremarkable first hour hold it back. Still, for those who buy into the precept that "good things are worth waiting for," The Walk unquestionably delivers."[26] Brian Truitt of USA Today gave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying "For those who want to feel like they're 110 stories up and living in the clouds, Hollywood does its job conjuring movie magic with a breathtaking Walk to remember."[27]

4. 줄거리[편집]
과연 인간이 하늘 위를 걸을 수 있을까?전세계를 뒤흔든 사상 초유의 위대한 도전이 시작된다!
어려서부터 하늘을 걷는 도전을 꿈꿔온 무명 아티스트 ‘필립’(조셉 고든 레빗). 그에게 꿈을 이룰 수 있는 단 한 번의 기회가 찾아온다. 바로 전세계 최고 높이를 자랑하는 412미터 높이의 월드 트레이드 센터가 정식 오픈하기 전에 두 빌딩 사이를 밧줄로 연결해서 걷겠다는 것. 이 세상 누구도 생각지 못한 도전을 실행하기 위해 ‘필립’은 그를 도와줄 조력자들과 함께 고군분투하지만, 디데이가 다가올수록 예상 밖의 위기를 맞이하게 되는데….
5. 평가[편집]
완성도에 대해서는 상당히 좋은 평가를 받고 있다. 시네마스코어에서는 A+를 받으며 관객과 평단 양쪽 모두에게 호평을 받은 《마션》보다도 높은 점수를 받았다. 로튼토마토에서 비평가들이 매긴 신선도는 85%로 당연히 '보증된 신선 등급'을 받았으며, 198명의 평론가들이 매긴 평점은 10점 만점에 7.2점이다. 또 로튼토마토에 따르면 평론가들의 의견은 "《하늘을 걷는 남자》는 긴장감 넘치는 화면과 실화 기반의 드라마 사이에서 교묘한 균형을 시도하며, 줄 위를 걷는 주인공처럼 놀랍게 도약한다."로 일치한다. 그리고 유저들이 매긴 신선도도 85%며 관객 평점은 5점 만점에 4점이다. 그리고 IMDB에서도 7.9점이라는 높은 평점을 유지하고 있으며, 메타크리틱에서 41명의 평론가가 매긴 평점은 100점 만점이 71점으로 호평을 뜻하는 초록불 안에 머무르며 준수한 점수를 받았다. 그리고 유저들이 매긴 점수는 7.2점을 기록하고 있다.그리고 국내 평단에서도 상당한 호평을 받고 있다. 네이버 영화에서 제공하는 전문가 평점은 10점 만점에 7.33점으로 아주 준수한 점수를 받았다. 김혜리 평론가는 '낭만 동화→하이스트 무비→지상 최고의 퍼포먼스'라는 한 줄 평을 남기며 6점을 매겼다. 그리고 별점이 짜기로 유명한 소금왕 평론가 박평식 역시 '솜씨도 좋고 맵시도 좋아'라는 한 줄 평으로 영화의 매끄러운 완성도를 칭찬하며 별점 7점을 부여했다. 모두 본작의 탁월한 3D 시각 효과에 대해 호평을 내렸으며, 실화 사건을 놀라운 영화적인 재현으로 뒤바꾸어 놓았다고 평가했다.
그러나.....
6. 흥행[편집]
완전히 망했어요본작의 순제작비는 3500만 달러이고, 제작 외적인 비용까지 포함한 총 제작비는 6500만 달러로 최소 1억 3천만 달러를 벌어야 본전 회수가 가능하다. 하지만 비교적 저렴한 제작비로 만들어졌는데도 흥행에 난항을 겪고 있다. 북미에선 9월 30일에 아이맥스 관 위주로 소규모로 먼저 개봉했는데 448개관에서 한 개관당 평균 3483달러를 벌어들이며 주말 동안 156만 299달러를 벌어 박스오피스 11위로 데뷔했다.
그리고 2주차에 본격적으로 북미 전역에 확대 개봉했는데 2주차엔 전주보다 2061개관이 늘어난 2509개관에서 상영하여 한 개관당 평균 1482달러를 벌면서 주말 동안 전주보다 138.4% 상승한 371만 9177달러를 벌었는데 상영관이 많이 늘어난 것에 비해 전주보다 겨우 4계단 상승한 박스오피스 7위를 차지했다. 그래서 2주차까지 북미 누적 매출액은 643만 676달러로, 손익분기점까지는 한참 외줄타기를 하고 가야 닿을 수 있는 셈이다. 해외 매출액도 별반 다르지 않아 2주차까지 총 710만 달러를 벌었다. 그래서 2주차까지 전 세계에서 모두 1353만 676달러를 벌었다.
영화의 평가도 좋고 3D IMAX를 비교적 저예산으로 훌륭하게 사용했으나 이 사건의 영향으로 영화를 관람하려는 사람이 많지 않아 북미에서는 흥행에 큰 걸림돌으로 작용한 듯하다.
북미에서의 흥행 부진의 여파는 한국에서도 계속됐다. 한국에서는 10월 29일에 개봉했는데 바로 개봉 전주인 10월 21일 수요일에 세계적으로 저메키스 감독의 대표작인 《백 투 더 퓨처 시리즈》가 재개봉해서 화제를 모았는데 그 관심이 본작으로까지 이어지진 못했다. 국내 극장가에서 여전히 상위권에서 버티고 있는 《마션》과 《인턴》은 물론이요, 한국 스릴러 영화들인 주원의 《그놈이다》와 손현주의 《더 폰》 역시 뛰어넘지 못했다. 그리고 주말 박스오피스에선 5위를 차지했지만, 평일 기록까지 합친 주간 박스오피스에서는 《특종: 량첸살인기》에게조차 밀려나 6위로 데뷔했다. 개봉 첫 주에 전국 415개관에서 6551회 상영되었으며 15만 6346명을 동원하며, 14억 6924만 9553원을 벌었다. 개봉 이전까지 포함해 개봉 첫 주에 총 15만 7200명을 동원했으며 14억 8245만 1553원을 벌었다.
2주차에는 주말 박스오피스에서는 10위권에서 빠져나갔지만 평일과 주말 기록을 합친 주간 박스오피스에선 8위를 차지하여 간신히 살아남았다. 2주차에는 전국 391개관에서 4715회 상영하였으며 전주보다 55% 하락한 7만 425명을 모으고, 전주보다 52.7% 감소한 6억 9424만 7200원을 벌었다. 그래서 2주차까지 총 누적 관객수는 22만 7620명이며, 총 누적 매출액은 21억 7663만 8753원이다.
7. 트리비아[편집]
2008년 작 다큐멘터리인 "맨 온 와이어 (Man on Wire)"는 필리프 프티의 뉴욕 월드 트레이드 센터 정복기(?)를 다룬 작품인데, 그 해 아카데미상을 포함한 각종 영화제의 다큐멘터리 부문을 휩쓸었다. 실제 인물들의 인터뷰와 당시 사진, 영상을 잘 조합하여 평단에서 호평을 받은 작품으로, 본 영화의 모티브가 된 작품이라 할 수 있다. 근데 한국에서는 그 다큐가 이 영화 표절한 거 아니냐고 잠깐동안 논란이 일기도 했다. (...) 한국에서는 2010년 개봉했으며 하늘을 걷는 남자 개봉할때 재개봉하기도 했다.참고로 맨 온 와이어 감독은 《사랑에 대한 모든 것》을 감독한 제임스 마쉬 감독이다. 본디 《위스콘신 데스 트립》으로 데뷔한 다큐멘터리 감독였고 《맨 온 와이어 프로젝트》와 함께 다큐멘터리를 주로 찍던 시절에 내놓았던 다큐멘터리.
그리고 배우들이 대부분 영어권 국가사람들인데 정작 실제인물은 대부분 프랑스인들이라는 갭 때문에 어떻게든 영어를 쓸 핑계를 만든다. 예를들어 미국에 갈 꺼니까 뉴요커처럼 영어로 대화하자, 난 체코어 못해요, 그래? 난 영어 할 줄 알어 같이 어떤 식으로든 프랑스인들 사이의 대화도 전부 영어로 할 핑계를 만든다.
