The words "return to life to death" came to my mind after watching the movie "Desperate Altitude". It didn't even think about it, it was like a neural reflex. Maybe I can boast that I am Has climber genes. I don't know if the director's specific intention is as I understand it to be, but we seem to be able to see it from the climbers' chat. In a fireside chat at the Everest Base Camp, the team leader asked about the purpose of everyone climbing Mount Everest. Some of them said that because of the six climbs, the last one must be climbed. This can be regarded as a life experience; a famous team member said The sentence mountain is there, this can be regarded as a gag (if you know the allusions, you will know the origin of this sentence, but when I was in the movie theater, I found that I was the only one who laughed); the last team member said, because he wanted to prove that he could climb If you go to Mount Everest, then other people will be able to do what he dreams of. I am not saying that the answers of these people are true or judge their superiority. Indeed, everyone may not have the same purpose at the beginning of mountain climbing, but they must go through the same process: hypothermia, hypoxia, falling , freeze to death, this seems to have become the only ending. But when you see these people, you don't find the slightest fear on their faces, on the contrary, they seem to be enjoying the process, but the process and the ending are not necessarily happy. When death was not what I wanted and life was not what I could, the steering wheel of fate was truly handed over to them for the first time. At this time, they heard the knock on the door of fate and completed the transformation of evolution. That's what I call living to the death. Health is just a comment at the end and not the meaning of it. Its significance lies in the process of directly fighting the god of death. In the process, it may be that you did not take the steps you wanted to climb to the top, it may be that you fell into a cliff to rescue your teammates, or it may be listening to the wind and snow on the lonely mountain top. with distant family members. At this moment, they understand the meaning of life and the connotation of existence. The truth is very good. When others and even myself read these words, they think that they may already be able to understand their feelings at that time, especially the sense of presence brought by 3D movies, but people who have not experienced this process are not may comprehend this philosophy. Just as "Looking at things for knowledge" is a philosophy for Yang Ming, but just a slogan for you.
Turning to the movie, there is still a lot to say. Regarding the Mount Everest mountain disaster in 1996 that caused the largest number of deaths (the record was broken by the avalanche caused by the earthquake at the beginning of the year), I looked back and found that the consequences of everything were caused by mistakes. This is as if the good mountaineering movie "North Wall" a few years ago was a factor. Since the start of commercial climbing on Mount Everest, the number of people has surged and the crowd has been mixed, making it necessary to queue up to use the ladder, and the climbing team must waste precious time waiting in line; waiting at the Hillary Steps has spent a lot of time on the guide rope. time; the postman's last late arrival caused rob to reach the summit twice and descended two hours later than the scheduled time; one of the guides misjudged that all the oxygen cylinders were fully connected due to the problem of the oxygen meter, causing rob and the postman to lack oxygen at the top of the mountain You can't go down the mountain by yourself with an oxygen tank. The sudden blizzard in the end was just an introduction, and it was also the fatal factor that caused such a large number of casualties. Now, even if the 96 Mountain disaster did not occur, similar things may happen in the next few years. Of course, I have not verified these background information, and there may be some new discoveries after collecting more information.
The Russians say at the end of the film that both mountains and climbers should be respected. At this point, we may notice that the competition between the mountaineering teams and some desperate situations after the final mountain disaster are not very deliberately depicted in the movie (from a professional point of view, blindly saving people may lead to both Encountering great danger, the guide Rob is the best example), and to describe the climber's struggle and the last scene of life from a larger angle, even the director did not exaggerate the sensational picture too much, such as the dying Goodbye on the phone (it is said to be true), the only thing I want to cry when I watch the movie is when I see the scene when everyone celebrates successfully reaching the top. Even these directors did not spend a lot of money, but concentrated on a few. close-up. The intention is obvious. When we stand at the moment of life choice, there is no competition from others but only our own struggles. Therefore, we need to be in awe of every person on this mountain who gave his life.
I didn't do much homework before watching this movie, but because of the pseudo-donkey's love, I chose to go to the cinema to see 3D Mount Everest. I had also watched the 96-mountain disaster documentary, but after a day of research, it was slow. Slow discovered a lot of what's behind it: Jon Krakauer, a reporter for Outdoor magazine who managed to summit and descend in the movie, wrote a book about the entire event, "Into the Thin Air," after the accident in '96, and won The National Book Award, the film can also be considered from this famous work. Jon wrote the more famous book Surviving the Wilderness the following year, which won a Pulitzer Prize and was eventually adapted by Sean Penn into my favorite film of the same name. These two novels and documentaries should be read as soon as possible to gain a complete understanding of the whole thing. If others are still interested, I recommend learning about another person's deeds - Wang Lei (female, the first Chinese woman to reach the top of the seven peaks) This is an equally colorful life.
Life or death, whether to climb to the top or not, what experiences are not the criteria for us to judge these dead now, we give them the same respect, they prove that the human spirit and will is the reason for our progress. I hope everyone can be at the end of life with the same last words left by Christopher McKendos (the protagonist of wilderness survival) - thank the Lord I have a happy life, may God bless everyone, goodbye!
