Skywalkers: A Love Story

...kids went to college, got an apprenticeship, learned a trade, became sportspeople if they had the talent or just simply got a job. Nowadays that ain't good enough and to get ahead you gotta go all social media and provide content that is gonna entertain, shock and/or mortify to get a rabid audience in sufficient numbers that you can make a living the 2024 way. This is stunning, impressive, compulsive and horrifying all in one package - yes they've got skill, sure they've got balls but yes they're also breaking the law and one slip and they're dead - but hey, that's just more content eh and sure Netflix will happily make a documentary out of that too, because why not? We're heading towards a dark and dystopian future for generations to come if this is the way entertainment is going - do we really need to give legitimacy to, not to mention glorification of, arguable lunacy..?

This documentary is absolutely compelling, the bravery, intelligence and compassion these two people have for their craft is unbelievable! I have never written a review before on here but use this app constantly, this is a class a documentary! This has the same vibe as the deepest breath but with triumph not tragedy, this is up there with one do the best documentaries I've ever seen in the extreme sports real , usually I am more drawn to the psychological thriller documentaries but this is out of this world, can't say enough goood things about this, the chemistry that these guys have is unreal.

Absolutely blown away by this one. The couple was so good on camera, that at times it seemed like a scripted foreign film. Their passion for climbing these ultimate skyscrapers and pushing the boundaries was so inspiring.

Obviously we shouldn't be promoting trespassing in any form, but these two made it an actual art. Their grace and dedication to this crazy "hobby" was so fun to watch.

Finally, the fact that it was paralleled with a brewing love story also contributed to its success. In a sport where "flying solo" was the norm, this couple made climbing so romantic. The drone and GoPro shots were magnificent and I'm so glad I gave it a shot. I think everyone should. It's really worth the watch.

They forgot to take down the scaffolding from the top of Merdeka 118. If it was taken, it must be taken off.

It is clearly visible when looking at a satellite image.

It's true that the picture isn't completely sharp.

The sun's shine reflects off the scaffolding.

We need to make another movie about removing the element.

The film depicts the madness of adolescence well.

I had the following feeling during the movie.

I go up high to suffer.

Like a masochist.

In severe frost without gloves on the tower crane.

It was also mentioned in the film that there are hardly any couples left.

I think this climbing genre is extinct today.

For the love of God, how the two of them w/o a big support crew take some amazing 360 circling drones views with no shakes or jitters...

Merkata climb, where did the heavy 6 ft steel platform appear all of a sudden when they reached the roof top. The entire climb from the base, they just had 2 backpacks. And boom on the roof, they have the platform made available with the exact measurement too..., so why not just place the platform on the very top, and a bed too !?

And the drama about chickening out was staged for sure.

This all has to be staged and financed by Netflix, as the interview with the Director shows...

So why make it appear in the documentary that these two guys are doing it all solo, unscripted, hiding from guards, camera, risking arrest, running out of money...all of that was def. Fake !

Disappointed. If otherwise, would have liked the documentary.
