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.
After reading it, I want to go hiking. Why do I have this idea?
In the movie, a group of climbers are at the Everest base camp, talking about the reasons for climbing. On the surface, they are all for a glimpse of the beauty of the world. In fact, those impressive things are the sense of accomplishment when oneself overcomes the weakness of the body and the heart and drags the pain to catch the goal. Human beings are too small, we can never easily say that we have conquered a mountain. The 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.
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. We no longer need to think about why they are doing something that may be "death to death".
