kind--- interviews with singularly uninteresting guys. Yes, what they did was remark-able but THEY are boring fellows.
I agree Petit is more than a street performer, which is what he was until the first major event. But is he more worthy than an Evel Knievel as a dare-devil?
Petit never was injured whereas Evel constantly was severely injured yet returned again and again to risk his life.
Anyhow, I don't have much admiration for these sorts of guys, probably because of the nature of what they do. Herzog put it best, interestingly enough, in the documentary of his you don't appreciate: Petit sort of is like the pogo-tumbling-glass-on-head Guinness Record chaser.
Now, a scientist that risks his life for knowledge, such as those Herzog profiled? Magnificent men!
