As a result, I was beaten in the face after reading it today. With a crying face, I went home and started to check the mountaineering introductory course. What I thought was:
Why not go hiking earlier?
This movie is absolutely pleasing to the eye even if it is just viewed as a scenic film. Under the long lens, the blue sky and white snow, the lonely mountain glacier, and a small group of slow-moving climbers on the ridge, the scene is simply shocking, and the momentum of Mount Everest is rushing towards you.
However, setting aside the beauty, this movie does show the dangers of the snow-capped mountains directly.
A lonely group of climbers in the vast world, hit by an avalanche, blown by a blizzard, must protect the companions who slipped off their steps, prepare for the danger of the climbing ladder suddenly shaking and throwing people off the cliff, and face the danger of the imminent ascent. Ding, but found the dilemma that the climbing rope had already been broken. At the same time, personal physical condition is also a big problem. The mountain guide in the movie points to a place above eight kilometers above sea level and says, after this, you will die step by step. Vision is blurred in thin air, and strength is quickly lost in extremely low temperatures. At high altitudes, a pound of weight on the back looks like ten pounds. Those with mountaineering experience will have a more personal experience of watching this film, even if it is only in People who walked on the plateau could feel the pain that all their strength was drawn out, and they couldn't breathe enough.
However, none of the above can match the sudden change of the face of the mountain god, and the wind and snow are coming. Even the most experienced guides are unable to protect themselves in such a situation. The sun was still shining when I went up the mountain, and when I went down the mountain I encountered wind and snow. Knowing that there were dark clouds of thunder and lightning under my feet, I could only bite the bullet and rush down. The situation is extremely dangerous. People can't even save all the team members. Team members who fall into a coma due to lack of oxygen or cold can only be left in the snow.
Looking at the smiling faces during the expedition, one by one turned into a purple face and then buried by the wind and snow, it was hard not to cry. The valuable thing is that the film does not exaggerate the dramatic conflict. There is no enviable scene where the ice layer is cracking a little bit, and no one is smashing down the snow-capped mountains. Many people just lose strength silently, slowly can't walk, and then stay in the snow forever. Only a few small details can tell the feelings. The climber who came to rescue saw his companion lying in the snow. After taking a breath and touching the carotid artery, he silently pulled his hiking bag to cover his companion's face. The survivor who woke up in the snow struggled to get up and fell down, seeing the frozen companion beside him, and the grief on his face was beyond words. Such simple and direct death and sorrow can clearly show the danger and cruelty of mountaineering.
so.
Why do you want to go mountain climbing after watching it?
In the movie, a group of climbers are at the Everest base camp, talking about the reasons for climbing.
Some are for their sons and daughters.
Some people have climbed six peaks, and only Everest is left, suffocating to conquer.
Some people want to be a role model for a group of children, telling them that even an ordinary person like himself can reach the highest peak in the world.
A group of people held up their wine glasses and said, "Because the mountain is there."
They are all experienced climbers, and they must know that the snow-capped mountains are dangerous and face the threat of death at any time after going up the mountain. To describe it as "death" is too rash; they must have a reason to come.
I remembered last winter, my roommate L, who used death as the joy of life, went on a glacier hike. Those three days happened to be heavy and snowy, and they were trapped by the frozen lake and couldn't come back. They couldn't even eat the energy bar because of the cold. They held back for two and a half days and finally walked back to the world. When she came back, she showed me the photos. The sun shines through the wind and snow on the icy ridges so beautiful that people breathe stagnantly. I said that it’s worth fighting for this beautiful scenery, she laughed and said, you know, the happiest thing is that we huddled in the tent at night and it was so cold that the exhaled steam turned into snowflakes in the tent. Now...
——Wait, where is this happy? It sounds obviously cold and miserable.
——But when I think of coming back from such a miserable situation, I feel that I am very powerful.
I remembered the skydiving class before. One of the coaches was an old man who was almost 90 years old. His hair was gray and his body was still strong. During a small chat, he told us that this was his nineteenth year of skydiving, and his wife more than 20 years ago. After his death, he fell into depression and couldn't help himself, and his children were helpless until he started parachuting. "As soon as I saw the sky full of clouds and the horizon were under my feet, I felt nothing more painful. To be able to see such a beautiful scenery, it is worth continuing to live." On the
surface, they are all for a glimpse of the magnificent scenery. In fact, those impressive things are the sense of accomplishment when oneself overcomes the weakness of the body and the heart, drags the pain to catch the goal. Human beings are too small, we can never easily say that we have conquered a mountain. Those difficulties overcome in the process of continuous climbing are not so much a victory over nature, as a victory over the self who was easily defeated by these difficulties. This feeling is the best.
Looking back at myself. I'm obviously in a dead house, watching comics for a day, and occasionally going out to brush up the manga is my most comfortable life state. But since when did I start the road to death?
After the first long-distance running training, I almost spit out breakfast. The first time I stood on the piste, my legs trembled. The first time I parachuted out, I closed my eyes and jumped out. The first time I climbed, I was lying on the rock wall and crying. It took five minutes. However, when I finally embrace nature, I feel that these fears are nothing. Shuttle through the snow-capped jungle, look at the horizon from a high altitude, and grasp the top of the rock with the palm of your hand. Once you experience this feeling, you can't help but do it a second time. Being kissed by nature is addictive. It's not that I'm not afraid now, but while I'm afraid, I know in my heart, "I can do it", and think that the beautiful scenery of the good day cannot be disappointed. The sky, snowfields and mountains are waiting for me, how can I not go.
So why not go hiking? It is said that climbing is easily addictive. When you stand on top of a mountain, you will look at the next one. I don't expect to climb the highest peak in the world, I just hope to push the limit and challenge myself within my own strength.
And the mountains will never leave you, they are there waiting for you when you work hard to hone yourself.
Back to the movie. The thing that touched me the most was at the end of the movie, everyone's ending. Some people fall in the crevices of the glacier forever, some are gradually buried by the wind and snow, some successfully return to the embrace of their loved ones, and some disappear and become legends. I think each of them has always made the worst assumptions about this mountaineering, but they still came without hesitation. This spirit of holding on with dreams and struggling is worthy of the respect of all of us.
Whether it is the soul returning to the mountains or the successful return, they are all heroes.
