Just finished watching Free Climbing. I was so nervous my palms were sweating. Where I've been, I didn't know there was such a super brave young man born in 1985, who was the first person in the world to challenge the free-hand climbing El Capitan. Before watching this documentary, I never knew that rock climbing can still be done by hand. I don't even know that the calculation of every step and every step of professional rock climbing is so accurate. For example, during his six-hour rock climbing process, for the core climbing part, every step must be engraved in his heart. Not only us in front of the screen, but even one of the ground photographers couldn't bear to watch it when he was about to pass the most thrilling area. He dared to watch it for his work partner, but he couldn't understand it, and he said that he would never shoot such works again in the future. Before he started climbing, no one (including himself) knew if he could get back to the ground safely. And I like this documentary because in addition to climbing itself, it also records the relationship between Alex Honnold and his parents and girlfriends. The influence of his parents, especially his mother, on his values - doing is almost the same as not doing it, a life of struggle (not just happiness) is the most beautiful, and rock climbing just makes him feel his perfection . Although his mother was uneasy about the sports he was engaged in, she believed that "this is his favorite thing. When he was engaged in this thing, he was different, so she was not qualified to deprive him of his pursuit." His girlfriend and his values are diametrically opposed. When he was asked by his girlfriend if he had an obligation to prolong his life as much as possible, he said without hesitation that he had no such obligation. What is the meaning of life, this documentary presents another angle. Pursue what you think is most important, not for whom (even the closest people should respect your choice); maybe the end of life will come at any time, but if you have been chasing what you want, then the Length can be ignored. These seem to be the exact opposite of the values we are more familiar with. It's hard to say which one is better, but at least I hope that different people can be allowed to have different value systems, and the society treats them the same way, and some people are willing to record such wonderful lives. Picture taken by Yosemite. But whether it is the Emirates Rock, I have no impression [laugh cry]
