Living in midair

A trip may make you alive, a mountain may make you die, a girl may make you worse off. Uh... still a girl with strong ability. In this way, life and death lived a lifetime. Don't want to conquer the girl, just ask her to love me. Don't want to conquer the mountain, just ask her for favor. Only oneself needs to be conquered.

At some point at the beginning of the year, I suddenly wanted to climb Mount Everest. I was surprised that this idea was so strong. I just thought she was calling me, so I added the anaerobic Mount Everest to the dream list. I remember the people who drank half a bottle of Xiao Er at Rongbuk Monastery a few years ago and rushed over the mountain to the base camp, and then began to wait for the horse-drawn carriage to croak and the motorcycle to suddenly come up. On a cloudy day, I didn't even see the face of Mount Everest and rushed down quickly. As a result, my altitude sickness was in a trance all the way down the mountain, and I almost overturned without knowing it. Now I think about it, maybe there was the idea of ​​climbing Mount Everest at that time, but I just wanted to keep the beauty in the moment when I could really get close to her.


I prefer the primitive way of mountaineering. Today's mountaineering nurseries make mountaineering a quick way to show off the experience. Piles of oxygen tanks, hordes of mountaineering assistance, and sufficient backup supplies have made Wang Shi, Wang Qiuyang, and other rich and wealthy women, they have also allowed more people to reach the summit, but they have lost the meaning of summiting. . There is no glory, no praise, no end, just a place for you to stay.

"Nordwand" is a rare excellent mountaineering film, with passion and reason coexisting. There are no special effects to show off, no tension in the plot, everything is performed truthfully, I like the way the movie is handled. The director took a peaceful attitude to film the Eiger, using some documentary methods to let the beauty, snowstorms, and avalanches behave naturally, without any emotional bias between nature and humans.

I hate the idea of ​​conquering mountains. A mountain can never be conquered by humans. People probably always think that they are very NB. Many times they misunderstand that they are at the top of the food chain or are a creator, but they don't know the gift that is only given by nature.

The simple equipment of the protagonists later became synonymous with durable outdoor. Petzl's ascender, lowa can wear all leather hiking shoes for decades can be seen in the film.

"Nordwand" did not discuss the human nature in the dangerous environment in depth. It only passed the differences and quickly reached a decision to withdraw. After hearing too many peers abandoning teammates in the harsh environment, I always feel that the director handles it just like this. An ideal. Perhaps this is also the original intention of Roselle to set up a commercial team. It is better to blindly climb to the top one by one, rather than blindly hang up. But it also made another group of upstarts ready to move.

The plot of "Nordwand" is very delicate. If you don't understand it the first time, you will find that some of the plot echoes in the second time. Every piton and every technical action during the descent will find a corresponding in the previous plot. Does this actually count as a tragedy? I always feel that some mountain summits like certain people or dislike certain people, so just keep them.


This movie contains a lot of things, passion, reason, love, arrogance, tolerance, sacrifice, but they all seem to be beautiful and pure wishes.

Life and death seems to be just a game. But hope is the light under the mountain.

    This is a film based on the true story of the tragic death of four young mountaineers who climbed the north face of the Alps in 1936. The plot is compact, the shots are full, and the scenes are spectacular. To experience a fight between humans and nature immersively, watching humans being swallowed by nature step by step, it feels tragic. In the last scene, Toni tried his best to save himself, half-hung in the air and said the last sentence of his life, "I am too cold", which touched his heart.

North Face quotes

  • [first lines]

    [in German, quoting English subtitles]

    Luise Fellner: [voiceover] When you're at the bottom - Toni once told me - at the foot of the wall, and you look up, you ask yourself: How can anyone climb that? Why would anyone even want to? But hours later when you're at the top looking down, you've forgotten everything. Except the one person you promised you would come back to.

  • [last lines]

    [in German, quoting English subtitles]

    Luise Fellner: [voiceover] All I know is that death spared me, and that Toni went away forever that day. One has lived if one has loved. There are times when I find this infinitely hard to believe. Most days I feel that I am alive. And that love is the reason for that.
