Joseph Gordon-Levitt Talks 'The Walk'

For his latest role, Joseph Gordon-Levitt trained for eight days with French tight-rope walker Phillipe Petit.

What I loved most about the movie is that it never mentions the 9/11 attacks. It really gave the audience the chance to remember the World Trade Center as a normal and peaceful place.

I love how Joseph describes it, "A celebration of one of the most beautiful moments that happened with those two buildings--right when they were being born." :)

Very grounded guy for a former child star. Respect

[GroundhogDayisAWESOME]

Should've gotten an Oscar nomination for his acting in this!

One of the most underrated movies... top of the list.

[Valefrescoyabish]

Joseph is so kind. I love what he’s talking about.

Beautiful movie, love the mentality of Philippe! Impossible is nothing. Remember that

[rosmarysocorro]

Joseph is a very good actor and a very kind man. I love him. I saw this movie and it’s absolutely amazing. Phillip Pettit is a hero.

Just done watching 'The Walk' and it become my favorite right away. I may be too late to watch this but then I knew that this was based on a true story because I did heard it once. I just brush it off and thought the movie will make me feel just okay which delays me to watch this movie. Then slowly I forgot to watch this movie and funnily today I don't know why I suddenly remember about it and immediately watch it. I am amaze and it gave me heigh anxiety but at the same time thrilling and it was beautiful. I didn't believe some of the scenes were actually really where Phillipe walks a couple times and even sit and lay in the middle and the seagull with red that he saw, I thought it was just an exaggeration to make this movie interesting. However I quickly research and google about it and saw interviews and the real photographs and all of this are an actual events. Every details in the movie actually happened in the real life which makes me amaze even more. It is truly beautiful. This makes me change my perspective towards the WTC. It is an awful tragedy and it is normal for people to immediately thought about it when we mention 9/11 or WTC, but this makes me remember that there is also something beautiful happened way before the 9/11 and it is actually what makes the building beautiful. I could write a damn essay of what I thought or how I feel about the movie and the actual event. It is simply beautiful and I'm really appreciate this movie. It reminds us of the good times (even though I'm not born yet) and it is beautiful historical act. It is an art.

Awesome movie! Very inspired with lots of respect for Philippe Petit for his passion. Great cast, good delivery in recreating the phenomenal experience with great cast like Joseph Cordon Levitt. Gonna grab a copy of Petit's book. Love it!

[Cat-mvgq]

I'd give anything to talk to philippe. He's such a gentle beautiful soul. To meet an artist like that is an honour. He's an amazing artist and a greater man

I've been on Kingda Ka, the tallest roller coaster in the world. When you're getting ready for it you're terrified but at the top it is absolute bliss. This is probably my favorite movie because it reminds me of when I lived so close to that roller coaster, driving there with friends, being terrified as I lower the bars over my chest and being so happy at the very top.

[bedour]

I love how he still talks about the wire with passion!

[stifflerrussell]

excellent movie and a great man and a top actor

[OurWorldAhead]

I so wish I could have seen this in 3d now.. I just watched it. Very beautiful movie. They portrayed the artistic free nature so well it hurt my eyes haha. Maybe in some years I'll see this in 3d. Joseph Gordon levitts performance was amazing. In the beginning of this movie I thought they had done voice over

[youngrozay]

When I first watched this I didn’t even realize this was Levitt at the time, I can’t believe how great he played that role and accent.

[gaillynds]

I really enjoyed the movie ! He is so amazing ! Way to go ! Star that’s what he is ! The actor played a good part ! Amazing !

[amarathohan]

I just wonder how Phillipe Petit felt when the twin towers were destroyed...

[theresamacdonald]

I just watched the movie last night and it was incredibly scary and I felt like it was real. I even lost my breath and started hyperventilating. It was really freaky. It certainly was an incredible stunt. I still can't believe he pulled it off. Congratulations Philippe Petit.
