the direction of the heart

After watching a movie recently, I couldn't help but watch two related documentaries and the original movie one after another. Regarding the commercial blockbuster "Desperate Elevation", it has received many mixed reviews upon its release. Although there are many theoretical bases and perspectives for the evaluation, I feel that watching the movie itself is a very subjective thing. The value of a work to each individual may lie in the elements that a person wants to learn from the work~ or the joy of the mood, or the visual feast, or the resonance of the soul~ Thank you EVEREST, whether it is an adapted film, Or from the perspective of the documentary team/original author or even from the perspective of a Tibetan mountain guide, to show the charm of the third pole in the world and the difficulties and dangers behind it, those who are willing to keep climbing for the "EVEREST" in their hearts are worthy of respect and awe. After all, there are too few people in this world who know what they want and have the courage to take risks to pursue it. Maybe I will not have the courage to climb the real EVEREST in my life, but I also hope that one day I can clearly know what is in my heart. What is EVEREST and where is it~

Rob Hall: Can you just listen up? Guys? We got 2,000 feet, 600 vertical meters to Camp Four. It's roped all the way, so I know you can make it. Now, once we get to the yellow band we're gonna regroup, put on the masks, turn on the gas. Make sense?
