15 minutes of this movie is enough, why should I shoot 88 minutes? Fast forward. Aesthetic fatigue.
Can't stand the beautiful snowy mountains like being destroyed by the skater's trajectory.
The music is not good.
How can I put it, I have watched this film no less than 30 times under different circumstances since its release. It’s the world’s highest-level snowboarding movie so far (the level of skateboarding, the level of shooting and production), and none of them (but Travis Rice’s new film will be released at the end of 2016 this year, and it may refresh the world’s singles The cognition of snowboarding, please stay tuned) In response to the doubts in the above short comment, I tried to make a simple analysis from the perspective of a skier.
1. In the eyes of people who don’t play skiing, in this 88-minute film, all the scenes and pictures are the same or even the same, that is, a group of people sliding down on the snow-capped mountain, flying out, and making a few turns. But in the eyes of people who know a little about skiing, this movie is like a biblical existence. It covers all kinds of skiing environments and terrains in the world:
ideal snow conditions,
exposed ridges, and
extreme rocky
jungles. Snow
artificial environment, snowboard park, etc.
At the same time, this movie covers the world's top skaters. Except for the protagonist Travis Rice, who is the god of the mountains, the other skaters who are named are all behind a series of shining awards. Both the brand name and the brand name have a strong personal style. Even the same action, different people will make different tastes.
People who like skiing get together to watch this film. The dialogue usually goes like this:
The terrain is so awesome, I want to ski.
Can the terrain be slippery? I can not.
What kind of terrain can you do? Is this still a human?
What kind of action is this? Can this action be done?
How many laps did he spin just now? Go back and have a look again. Two and a half laps, fall back! Awesome.
Fuck is too awesome, how many meters is this throwing platform? Is there 30 meters? How do they calculate the angle and speed of going out?
In the process of watching the movie so many times, there is no one time when I and the surrounding snow friends are not filled with such incredible admiration and doubts, repeatedly admiring the beauty of a snowy mountain and snow town, watching the skaters in different environments It is a kind of supreme enjoyment to make beautiful moves with extremely high technical content one after another, and it is also an important way for skiers to broaden their horizons and learn skills.
2. The skaters will not damage the natural environment when they slide the mountain. Avalanches are also a common natural sight. The arc cut by the snowboard on the soft snow, the next snow, a gust of wind, will disappear tomorrow.
And Huadashan is a recognized "palace-level" model in the skiing world. why?
On the one hand, the difficulty factor is the highest, the risk factor is the highest, and the skater's abilities are demanding: in addition to the super sliding ability and aerial skills, there are also route selection, emergency judgment, mental quality, and imagination. Putting aside many professional concepts, the technical requirements for landing in the wild powder snow alone are orders of magnitude different from those on artificial snow trails. The skaters in the film also repeatedly emphasized: Once you come to the mountain, you are the guest. To fear the mountains, you must abide by the rules of the wild. Here, the price of making mistakes is death.
On the one hand, it is highly admirable and has a strong sense of accomplishment. As mentioned earlier, Hua Dashan has strict requirements for skaters in all aspects. An undeveloped snow mountain, if you can select the line according to your own ability and then slide down smoothly from beginning to end, the satisfaction you get is unparalleled. of. For the skater, it is a dialogue between man and god.
3. The soundtrack of this film uses a lot of rock music from bands such as Sigur ros and Black angel. Snowboarding is inherently inseparable from popular culture. In the earlier snowboarding documentary "Conquering Absolute Mountains", the birth and development of snowboarding are described in detail. Snowboarding has experienced the edge from the early days. The subculture of China has been squeezed out, and today's fashion movement has produced huge commercial value, which is very similar to the development history of rock music, and the passionate temperament is also very consistent.
In addition, this film also truly reflects the face of the extreme sport of snowboarding. In the film, the skaters will be injured, they will fail, they will cancel their plans due to the weather and various external factors, conquer the mountains or be abused by the mountains. , The skaters tell you their own experience of this sport, tell your own views on nature, for those who have never been in contact with skiing, you can also watch the leopard and understand its not only charming and painful side.
In short, the Chinese Winter Olympics have been successfully bid, and I hope more people can play skiing together. It is called "white opium" for a reason.
