Cinephile No. 536 “The Walk”

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

"The Walk" is a love letter to New York and the Twin Towers as much as it is a salute to those who chase their dreams. From 110 stories in the air, all of the tristate area is laid out before us as a man takes to his wire. At this death defying height, several things came to my mind: America lost a symbol on September 11th, the limits man will push himself to is astonishing, New York is who we are to most of the world and cinematography can take us places we never thought possible. With every step back and forth on his wire, I held my breath and looked on in disbelief. “The Walk” is a cinematic ride unlike anything we have ever seen, not because of the power of a green-screen, but because what a wire, some buildings and a passion can mean.

 

Be good to each other,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
