"Mountain Patrol" is a film that "dangerously deteriorates" the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In order to highlight the height of the characters and the description of the environment, the film ignores basic facts, and there are many factual errors, causing misleading effects to the audience. First of all, the desert has a strong load-bearing capacity, which is different from the swamp, not to mention that Mountain Patrol is a permafrost area in China, so it is impossible for the characters in the film to sink into the quicksand. Second, the "desertification" of Mountain Patrol in the movie is also inconsistent with the actual situation. In fact, Mountain Patrol is not only not a desert, but also the place with the most dense lakes in China. Third, Mountain Patrol is not as scary as the film describes, and Mountain Patrol is not the no-man’s land as described in the film. In Mountain Patrol, in addition to gold prospectors and artemia hunters, there are also herdsmen grazing there. The Mountain Patrol and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau were "dangerously deteriorated" in the film because of the need to build heroes and build models. This phenomenon should not be advocated

The biggest regret of "Mountain Patrol" is that it failed to implement the clean documentary style into every corner of the film. Talking about the three wonders of sky burial, the finished French Antilope du Tibet, the remains of Tchirou and the Quicksandtons damages the objectivity and calmness of the film. The heavy colors of the first and last two sky burials make the film's efforts to be as value neutral as possible almost vanish, and the repeated lingering of the camera on the corpse of Antilope du Tibet and Tchirou in French is even more suspected of creating spectacles and promiscuity. Even, the film took 96 seconds to describe the complete process of quicksand engulfing a person in detail, and then paid tribute with 34 seconds of long-range aerial footage. Regardless of whether the director’s original intention is to create enough cruelty for the film, such excessive intervention with unrestrained emotion will harm the documentary style of the film and weaken the humanitarian power that the film should have
