The best reproduction of the Mount Everest disaster in 1996

very nice! I read the introduction of Mount Everest in 1996 before, and I was very interested in the characters in the incident. After watching the movie, I felt that the whole incident was perfectly reflected. The plot was compact, and several main characters were quite distinct. Although Gyllenhaal doesn't have many roles, the tenacity and persistence in the cynicism are still moving. In order to escort the client, Fischer fought continuously and finally collapsed in the snow; Rob tried his best for the client at 8,500 meters; Harold braved the blizzard to rescue his teammates; Baker was under extremely difficult circumstances. Return to the camp with the power of the flood. . . These are all astoundingly great.

Why do people climb mountains? Several protagonists talked about this topic while chatting and laughing at the base camp. When they gradually became confused in the alpine and hypoxic wind and snow, would they still think of these reasons? I can't imagine. "Because the mountain is there," they said. Maybe many people think they are stupid and want to die, but what kind of life is meaningful? Isn't it a meaning in itself to maximize the indomitable human beings for the sake of ideals?

Finally, I sighed for the two protagonists Fischer and Rob. The climbing skills and physical fitness of the two are top-notch. But they ended up giving their lives for their clients. Fischer went up and down many times and still insisted on the summit, and Rob waited for Doug for an hour at the summit and finally missed the best evacuation time. Why? With their abilities, they could have retreated completely, but they eventually fell. Why? For the responsibility, for the family, the company, and the customers who are on the shoulders. In one word - for life. Thinking of this, I suddenly felt the difficulty of life again. No matter how surprised you are, you can't escape the pressure of life. Isn't it painful!

    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?
