Alex Honnold: Everyone dies one day, and free climbing just makes that day go faster. ——Jin Guowei: I have always felt conflicted about making a film about free-hand rock climbing, because it is too dangerous, it is hard not to imagine, your friend Alex, when climbing in some extremely dangerous situations, You're filming him, so he's overstressed, and your footage brings him to life as he dies. We had to get over it all and understand that even if the worst happened, we could shoot with peace of mind. ——The movies most often associated with watching movies are "127 Hours" and "Mission Impossible". Some of the climbing cliffs and cliffs in the documentary feel more thrilling and exciting to me than the live-action movie, especially when I climbed the El Capitan with bare hands at the end. I was really afraid that he would fall down accidentally, without knowing the fate of the protagonist. The staff who participated in the shooting at the scene were even more frightened and apprehensive (the photographer sometimes dared not look at the monitor)…. - Muse's sound near the end creditsThe prelude took me by surprise.

The predicament of D+/"Freehand Rock Climbing" is obviously not the dilemma of the protagonist's "Freehand Rock Climbing" movement itself, but a set of "character" documentary filming methods that describe almost no gaps and a "personal" documentary completely exposed to the unknown abyss of death. The contradiction between the representation of sexual images of the body. Only in the last ten minutes or so, the audience could feel this huge gap a little. Especially when the protagonist is finally able to face the camera directly on the cliff, the "reality" that suddenly flows out completes the most bitter mockery of the camera that tries to be invisible but has nowhere to hide. In this mockery, they achieved a rare two-way fulfillment in the whole film: a resonance with the flexible "posture" that completely fits the natural as if distorted and the rigid "situation" of the camera - which is also "shooting". The process has to go into the meaning of this documentary. But beyond that, all that the film exposes is the arrogant, flat omnipotence of the camera, and the shriveled ideological mold to match.
