Although in the eyes of a layman like me, it is a self-inflicted no zuo no die; in the eyes of non-climbing enthusiasts and non-extreme sports enthusiasts, it is absolutely unnecessary to challenge the limit with life; there are different opinions about the mountain disaster in 1996. Many inferences and contradictions, but 8 living lives have passed away, gone forever! The only thing that is a little gratifying is that all the dead have reached the top, and there are no regrets!
There is no so-called "protagonist halo" in this film. In the end, Doug died, Scott died, Andy died, Ning Zi died, and Rob died. The snowstorm in the Himalayas is unstoppable!
This film is a bit messy. It is a very professional behavior to climb the 8000+ peak. There is too much professional knowledge that cannot be explained in a short film. At that time, there were several factors that led to the disaster of the ending, and the film did not explain these factors one by one.
Many people are discussing the significance of making this film: to show disasters, to make people fear nature? Showing humanity, asking people to reflect? Show the meaning of extreme sports and always pursue higher? It doesn't seem right! The director is just a running account-like narration, many characters appear one after another, and there is no interaction, including Rob, who is suspected to be the protagonist, and there are not many shots, so in the end, except for the Japanese with an obvious Asian face, I am impressed, and I can't tell the other foreigners. Clear who is who.
The subject matter of the film doesn't make much sense to me. Just sad about the loss of life. No matter how you don't understand it, how you feel it's not worth it, but the moment the person dies, it should be gratifying. You should have no regrets about dying in the pursuit of your life. From this, I think of the topic that has been discussed all the time: is it a mediocre life until the end of life, or a gorgeous pursuit of dreams until it is lost. There are different opinions, it all depends on the pursuit of life.
I am a timid person and a vulgar person. I only pursue a mediocre life, and I am not worried about it. I can't imagine how worried and afraid I would be if there were close relatives and friends in my family who pursued extreme sports such as climbing to the top of 8000+. If I heard the bad news, would my heart stop beating as well. Forgive my little heart. We can't bear too exciting news, so it's better for us to live a safe and dull life.
