The anti-9/11
I was struck when watching the film that they structured the buildup to the wire walking coup as if the team were terrorists....they move into the South Tower at x time, sombre music and direction, black and white shots of the fake ID cards etc. It seemed kinda insensitive to start with. But then the outcome was this amazing, beautiful act of defiance against death. In retrospect, it could almost be seen as the anti-9/11. A conspiracy by anarchic artists to create joy and wonder. This was obviously the intention of the film makers, which is why the 9/11 attacks were never mentioned. You're supposed to draw the analogy yourself.
