-the contest between nature and humanity in "Bingfeng 168 Hours".
Many arts are expressing extreme situations. Many scenes are abstraction and polarization of reality, but there is one that does not make people feel any absurdity, any inaccuracy, Anything pressing. "168 Hours of Ice Peak" is adapted from Simpson's memoir of the same name in 1988. It combines grandeur and subtlety, and artistically reproduces the climbers fighting against death, fear, and human fragility under extreme natural conditions, using perseverance, courage, and belief to get out of the desperate situation. , Deduces the most beautiful life experience of climbers. It is by no means inferior to any thrilling feature film, but it incorporates real characters, returns to the mountain, and completes the shooting under severe living conditions. The plot is incredibly tense, real and shocking.
Climber legendary
film has been directed by the Oscar for best documentary "day in September" (1999) • Kevin McDonald (Kevin MacDonald) directed by Joe • mountaineering witness Simpson (Joe Simpson) • Jesus and Simon It was told by Simon Yates, and was recalled by actors Brendan Mackey and Nicholas Aaron and reproduced the thrilling scenes and human struggles at the time. The scene was so shocking that when the movie ended, he didn’t know how his legs should move (Joe was climbing Falling into the ice on the fourth day, dragging a fractured right leg, one person crawled out of the Jedi in four days, during which the harsh natural conditions and painful psychological struggles were nuanced), but he felt that real life should not be Frailty requires everyone to have enough courage to challenge the self in the framework, to conquer the past self and the present predicament.
As a "reconstructed reality", the documentary has undergone the director's artistic transformation, and the creative intentions and material selection are carefully arranged without redundancy. The 21,000-foot Siula Grande peak in the Peruvian Andes is undoubtedly a huge challenge, thrilling and exciting. Just as Joe said in the monologue, "Adding some risk factors will not be so monotonous. It will make you feel more alive." The comfort of reality is in sharp contrast with the inner adventure. It not only caters to the market, but also caters to and expresses the bottom part of the iceberg hidden in the human heart-exploring and challenging the unknown.
Real mountaineering locations, professional climbing; moraines, ice corners, steep grooves all the way down 3000 feet; huge rocks and ice blocks, heavy snow... ropes, steel cones, hammers, knives in a blizzard The middle cross appears; the frostbited hands are tied with a rope to survive the buckle in the dark; the countless psychological struggles, pain, and desperate roars falling into the ice gap; the broken legs are tortured on the messy fragmented rocks; The mud sucked the scarce water madly, enjoying the warmth when urinating his pants... Survive and die, give up and persist, wait for death and try. In the situation of severe dehydration and severe injury, every step is difficult for Joe Moving, the despair every time you hear or hear the sound of water, every time the fear and loneliness after the night falls, everything is shown vividly and vividly in the process of descending the mountain.
Humanity’s test
It's very sommitting way of climbing, because you have no line of retreat. If something goes wrong, it can be very, very serious. There's no rescue, there's no helicopter rescue, and there's no other people. There's no margin for error. If you get badly hurt, you probably die.——
No matter what kind of predicament human beings encounter in reality, in front of the powerful snow peaks and natural forces, they are not enough to question life, and ease is the most important thing. That's why it has the fun and challenging power of mountaineering, and the pleasure of seeking conquest. Mountaineering is largely dependent on peers and trust. On the verge of not tolerating mistakes, there is no rescue, no helicopters, no hygienists, no other people, serious injuries mean death. In front of the tall, continuous snow peaks and harsh natural environment, people are full of fragility and insignificance. Faith, persistence, and courage are indispensable spiritual forces. Once broken and questioned, they will face the danger of death.
Ease and challenge, trust and betrayal, individualism and team spirit, as well as the natural environment under extreme circumstances, and the choice when facing the test of life and death, make mountaineering more than just a sport. It contains too many factors that combine nature with Social integration is condensed together, embodies all aspects in a miniature form, and tests an important part of the human value system.
Finally, in the struggle between fantasy and reality, Joe climbed back to a place not far from where the tent was stationed down the mountain, on the verge of giving up, almost waiting to die. In despair, he tried his best to call Simon's name over and over again. He couldn't think of any relatives or friends. What lingered in his ears was the singing of a band he didn't like at all, and his nerves were almost broken. The faint light appeared, and the first sentence Joe was carried into the tent was "Thank you", "If it were me, I would do that too (cut the rope)"...a scene of tears running. After seven days of desperate survival, the test of life and death, and the choice of favors, his first sentence is full of the most authentic and inspiring power.
The narrative style highlights the real
long shots that accompany the documentary from beginning to end, recording close-ups through long shots, using the panoramic view of the middle scene to describe the expressions of the characters and the description of the scenery, reflecting the inner world of the characters, setting off the atmosphere, and expounding the practical significance and comparative success. . The natural environment and snow peaks are more beautiful and cruel in the rotation of the long lens.
Different from the feature that the narrative of the drama film is completed in the early stage, "the narrative of the documentary is completed on the editing stage". Time is the main clue of the film's narrative, and a review of the emotional situation and psychological state of the real characters shown in the documentary is inserted in it.
Pictures and music
sound and picture combination, emergency relief when the rhythm, the whole atmosphere was driven up, the audience was followed by ease, along with stress, along with fun, excitement followed. At the beginning of the film, the rapid breathing and harsh environment on the snowy peaks gradually accelerate as the climbing progresses, and the main theme of thrills runs through afterwards.
Commentary and time reminders are interspersed in the film, and the time is in time, and the process of exploration continues, changes, and eternity in the shot.
In 2004, the documentary was nominated for Best British Film of the Year at the 2003 BAFTA, along with "Cold Mountain", "Girl with Beaded Earrings", "Between the Earth" and "True Love". This is not only a true mental journey, but also shakes everyone's heart, living in the present, fearless and fearless.
