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.

If watching people break the law (trespassing) gives you more anxiety than the death defying stunts portrayed in the trailer, this film probably isn't for you. That said, this documentary does not glorify the act of trespassing, or even the art of skywalking. The consequences of anything going wrong, or getting caught, are very real.
Skywalkers is a fascinating inside look at who these people are and why they do what they do. It also shows that though they are capable of doing something most people would consider absolutely insane, they are very human, with human fears and human problems.
The cinematography is breathtaking and the production value is very good. My favorite part of the film was learning about the impressive preparations, reconnaissance and planning that goes into making a high-risk climb. These are not just thrill-seekers, and they take what they're doing very seriously. It was almost like watching a heist thriller in real life. I give it a solid 8.

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.

The final scenes of this movie brought tears to the eyes of at least one 32-year-old man.
Firstly, I want to highlight how remarkable Angela's personality is. I had the brief privilege of knowing her in real life, and I am truly amazed by how such a seemingly delicate girl can encompass so many emotions, bravery, and inner strength. While I do not know Ivan personally, I am confident he is equally outstanding.
Secondly, I am delighted with how well Netflix portrayed the characters and emotions of these two individuals. This film isn't just about roofers; it's a phenomenal love story between two people.

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.
