Deadly Altitude, Meaning and Courage Coexist

This is a special film that hovers between biopic and drama. Especially in the lavish cast, the pre-know ending and no real villain or even character conflict. Such a film is actually similar to a biopic, but what attracts me is not only the scenery along the way to the summit of Mount Everest, but also the real sense of substitution in this cold environment and the dazzling light of human nature after the fierce collision with the natural environment.
Significance
Even the survivors of the 1996 disaster may find it difficult to reproduce the fact that human beings are so insignificant in the extremely severe and harsh natural environment, and the most likely way is to return to nature and lose to nature. . At the beginning of the film, it was hard for me to understand when the team leader Rob bid farewell to his expecting wife. Is it more important to be at the top than to be with your family? ! The accompanying reporter Jon asked everyone the meaning of climbing Mount Everest in the base camp. The answer was first silence, and then only vague, but someone once said, "Although Mount Everest is the highest, it is no higher than the person standing on top of her." , this desire to conquer is innate and irresistible to many people. Beck, who lost his nose, hands, and toes in this disaster, was undoubtedly the luckiest man, but it was his family's waiting that encouraged him at the most difficult time. Likewise, the dying Rob's last phone call from the cliff was to her wife and unborn child. It's paradoxical, people who abandon all meaningful things for conquest pick them up again when they are about to leave, but don't forget, they died on the way down the mountain, and behind them is the Everest they conquered . I'm afraid, the word "meaning" must have conquered Mount Everest in the hearts of this group of people.
courage
Being able to come to the Everest Base Camp, it is no longer necessary to describe this group of people with "have the courage". There is only one attribute that can distinguish them - "to the top". Now, looking back on this incident, we are accustomed to using the word "accident" to express in many occasions, which shows that we recognize that this is an unexpected emergency. However, whether it is the memories of the witnesses or the performance of the movie plot, the deaths of many people may be completely avoided. For example, in the competition between two business teams, there is a media reporter in the team, someone is unwell but still insists, Rob can go down the mountain ahead of time... However, Rob did not abandon his companions, Scott insisted on climbing with a sick body, and Doug knew that he could not go down the mountain but Still on top. All these require courage.
Going back to the film itself, apart from the aerial snow scene and the luxurious Case, it is difficult to have any bright spots. However, this film was shot at an average altitude of 5,000 meters above sea level. Compared with the special effects, the real bad weather gives the audience a real sense of substitution. These big-name actors are very dedicated to performing in this extreme environment. I think the film has its own advantages. What's more, the outbursts of humanity, although they did not create many tears, are like the piercing cold. It touches the soul as deeply as the wind, because the quivering voice of the dying voice over the radio was so real to the actors. From North
