The entire documentary is 100 minutes long and tells the story of 33-year-old rock climber Alex Honnold who climbed more than 1,000 meters of El Capitan with his bare hands in June 2017. The scene in the film is really frightening, and the scene where the heart will jump up and down with his movements is the scene of unprotected climbing the Emirates Rock. It is only 13 minutes, but it is enough to make your heart skip a beat, your emotions are excited and you have to suppress it. , I was afraid that he would fall off the cliff if he was breathing too hard in one breath. An hour and a half before the film, I talked about how this goal had been brewing in Alex's mind for 8 years, and how he concentrated on spending 2 years to prepare. The filming lasted two years and recorded the entire process of Alex's preparation and completion of this unprecedented climb. After ten years of sharpening a sword, what we have seen is a glorious success, but the hard work behind it is beyond our imagination.
I really admire this person. On the cliff, he can support the whole body with the strength of only a few fingers, and he can also jump on the almost vertical cliff. How can this be a good word! But behind such a wonderful picture, there is Alex's courage to be flattered. Even after the challenge is successful, everyone is cheering and asking what Alex is going to do next. He just smiled lightly and said that he would go back to the car and make a few cranes. In the face of unprecedented success, I just laughed it off with such an ordinary mentality, without any pretence, as ordinary as saying I was hungry. Such a pure heart is rare in the world.
I didn't know what to watch a few days ago, but I suddenly came into contact with extreme sports, and then I searched a lot of movies and documentaries about this topic on the Internet. "Freehand Rock Climbing" should be at the top of the list. Just hearing the name makes my scalp tense. I feel The head is pinned to the belt of the trousers, and it is extremely insecure.
In fact, I also like climbing mountains, especially wild mountains, which are mountains where no one has walked out of the way. I think it is very interesting. In the past two years, I went to Qinling to climb wild mountains several times. Once, the slope of the entire mountain should be seventy or eighty. I was instantly interested and climbed all the way up. I don't care if my friend calls me from the back, there is no way, my friend can only climb with me. The most terrible thing is not the inclination of the mountain, but I wear a pair of slippers, and I think it is really awesome now. At that time, I didn't think so much at all. I climbed up with a passion, and I never thought that there would be a possibility of falling. Just like Alex Honnold in this documentary, he said that every time he soloed rock, he was thinking about getting to the top, never thinking about what would happen when he fell, and when he thought about it, he hesitated.
A lot of times we always want to think about all-around strategies first and take precautions. This is not a must, but to a certain extent, if people have a way to retreat, they will not focus on the present moment, and the charm of extreme sports lies in either success or death. When life is at stake, stress multiplies, but again, focus is unparalleled at this time. The most focused time in my life should be when I was in the third year of self-study. I hardly attended the class in the first and second year of high school. When I started to study by myself in the third year of high school, I didn’t know where the courage and focus came from, and I was still able to learn seven, seven, eight, eight. At that time, I didn’t even think about whether I could learn or not, whether I could be admitted to university, how much I could get in the test, I didn’t think about anything, just pure study, so I was extremely focused, and any outside interference could not affect me. But in a short period of time, I will no longer have such single-mindedness when I go out of the society. I do everything with a hammer and a hammer. I have to look at my mobile phone from time to time. , the business has long been thrown out of the sky, and I don't know when I think about it again.
In this documentary, I don't know if it's an illusion, I can see the stars in the universe through Alex Honnold's eyes, bright, shining, pure and clear. Such eyes can only come from a person who has no distractions in his heart. He only focuses on what he wants to do and has no other thoughts. Such people are often stubborn, and those who are not stubborn will not stick to their dreams for ten years. But also because of stubbornness, it is always difficult for people around him to get along with him, but it doesn't matter, we don't live for others, and we have light in our hearts, so just go after them.
The Chief Rock is the largest granite monolith in the world. It stands in California (Yosemite National Park/Yosemite National Park), with a height of 916 meters. It is one of the most iconic rock walls in the world. It is almost a straight up and down granite rock wall without vegetation. The reason Alex's experience deserves to be recorded is that he climbed bare-handed all the way, without using ropes for protection, only one person, a pair of climbing shoes, and a magnesium powder bag.
His success is unrepeatable, whether it is skill, mentality, or weather and luck, it cannot be repeated. Therefore, we envy such people, but it is difficult to become such people. So should we just live a mediocre life? I think the bigger lesson from this documentary is to have that pure focus on what you want to do, everything you do is to bring you closer to the destination in your heart, Approaching the sacred heart, coupled with hard work day and night, even if you are unsuccessful, you will be happy. I remembered a story about a young man who asked an old man for the secret of success. The old man said you made a list of ten things you really want to do. The young man made a list and he asked the old man that my life should be based on these Is it about striving for a goal? The old man said, no, you only have three goals left, don't think about the others. The meaning of this story is very clear, we always want to do this and that, but if we don't focus, we can't achieve anything in the end. So, instead of that, let's focus on very few things and move forward with that clear goal.
To die because of my dream, or to die on the way to pursue my dream, I think it is a great happiness. Most people have no dreams at all, no goals for which they can sacrifice their lives. Like me, I don't even know why I'm alive? Maybe we don't know what we think in our hearts for a long time, but if you find him one day, please go to him with determination and determination. Dreams are not afraid to come late, but you are afraid that you have never really treated them with your heart, that you are afraid of age restrictions, that you are afraid of the influence of the environment, that you are afraid of other people's comments, that you are not capable at all, that you are afraid of coming and going, and your dreams will get farther and farther away from you. , until it disappears. Then, one day, when everyone was drinking and chatting, they remembered that they had been a dreamer many years ago, but now they have become a salted fish. When the cups touched each other, it was the sound of everyone's dreams being broken. What a feeling!
I really hope that I can find the goal that will keep me focused forever, but if not, I will do everything I need to do at the moment, earnestly and without distractions. No matter how small the goal is, every time you complete one, you will be happier.
