Don't be too busy answering. This is a difficult choice for anyone, and the logic of this choice may be difficult to understand for those who have no experience with mountaineering.
I originally thought Touching the Void would be a very small movie, people who like it like it to death, and people who don't like it will fall asleep watching it, but what I didn't expect is that this British low-budget movie really attracts a lot of people. wide audience. Perhaps the charm of this film lies not in the scenery of the Andes, but in the fact that the second half of the film puts such a cruel choice in front of every audience. Moreover, this is not the screenwriter's inspiration, this is the choice that two living people have faced.
Frankly speaking, after this decision, the film does not have too much traditional so-called plot tension, but it is a real record of an embarrassed descent, but this kind of truth is also not achieved by many similar movies. We seem to be in the same sun as the protagonist, or hiding in a snow cave waiting for dawn, or suffering from dehydration together. This authenticity also makes me think that the film will not be popular with people outside the circle. But the real cruelty and beauty do give it an extraordinary charm. The real mountaineering is like this. There is no joy at the top, and there are dangers at any time, but it has its unique charm, and it is worth the risks and hardships that climbers should bear for it.
The actors in this film are only three European men and a mountain. There is no flashback, no foreshadowing, and it is as simple as a rock. But like a real mountaineering, it will show you what it is to be responsible for life.
