1. The film was made for a few people to watch, and most people pursue a happy life in the world. They may be a little curious, but they are destined to be difficult to understand and naturally do not care about the actions of such "madmen". In this "movie" "The first half can be lethargic.
2. If business is like rock climbing, then starting a business is like free soloing. The essence of the two is that they both need to face possible death every day; Achieving goals requires sacrifice; both require a high degree of focus to control risk and avoid death.
3. Outsiders see that everything is for the purpose of reaching the top, and only oneself knows that climbing to the top is just a form of confirming that one has done it. Honnold has a passage in the film that associates free solo with the warrior spirit, which I think expresses his most fundamental motivation behind it: it's all about training himself to precisely control his body and mind to achieve his goals. . He also cares about setting a world record and is happy about it, but the next thing to do is keep training.
4. The vast majority of free soloers regard rock climbing as a personal matter. The film spends a lot of space describing the psychological disturbance to the male protagonist’s summit as well as the additional danger to life that comes from it, but There is no direct answer why the male protagonist chose to cooperate with the documentary director to film the process into a movie. However, I personally think it is very important to answer this question, because Honnold, who can directly say to his girlfriend "I don't think I have an obligation to prolong my life because of you", rarely prevaricates this question. My own answer is two points. One is that Honnold may see eliminating distractions from filming as part of the challenge, and the other is that Honnold may be consciously approaching worldly life and realizing what it means to be associated with worldly life. I think this It is consistent with his intrinsic motivation for maintaining his relationship with his girlfriend and setting up the foundation.
5. The emotions of human beings under special circumstances shown in the film are very moving. In particular, Tommy, as the first human being to climb to the top of EI with a protective rope and a like-minded person of course, his support for Honnold to fulfill his dream reflects the value of human friendship, the sentence "Thinking that Honnold may fall and die, Then if I think of something I could have done but failed to do, I will regret it.” (to the effect) is moving.
6. People who can find their own calling are lucky, even at the cost of their lives. Such people, who may be seen as insufficiently responsible in their private lives, are pushing the boundaries of the world.
