Looking at Alex's attitude towards climbing in Free Solo, what I feel is the exhilaration, the exhilaration of fighting in life, the exhilaration of doing what I want to accomplish and then conquering it~

Some put family and life first, some put social status first, and Alex puts rock climbing first. No matter what comes first, I honestly don't think it makes any difference~ Knowing what your priority is and coordinating everything to achieve your goals is the key~

People who are firm in their priority are happy~ I think many people will struggle for a while, a few years, ten years, or a lifetime.

Alex doesn't bother, he doesn't mind frankly speaking about the main points of his life, family, material girlfriends, longevity, etc. are secondary.

But secondary does not mean no. I can feel that he is as gentle as possible with other people and things under the premise of being firm to the main goal~ Uncompromising but being as gentle as possible is actually quite difficult. It requires judgment and responsibility for every decision. , but also constantly adjust.

Whether he chooses a climbing method that his girlfriend can't accept, or chooses a girlfriend who the audience doesn't agree with, he lives his life calmly and constantly adjusts his life strategy. I think this is very moving~

I also want to embrace life completely like this~

    To say something irrelevant: perhaps the most ideal relationship between people is friendship. The most ideal teacher-student relationship is like a friend, the most ideal husband and wife relationship is like a friend, and the most ideal father-son relationship is like a friend. Maybe friends are not as close as family and lovers, but if every intimate relationship is refined, it is nothing more than the equal understanding, trust, and empathy of friends that support the relationship between people at the core.

    Alex Honnold: Everyone dies one day, and free climbing just makes that day go faster. ——Jin Guowei: I have always felt conflicted about making a film about free-hand rock climbing, because it is too dangerous, it is hard not to imagine, your friend Alex, when climbing in some extremely dangerous situations, You're filming him, so he's overstressed, and your footage brings him to life as he dies. We had to get over it all and understand that even if the worst happened, we could shoot with peace of mind. ——The movies most often associated with watching movies are "127 Hours" and "Mission Impossible". Some of the climbing cliffs and cliffs in the documentary feel more thrilling and exciting to me than the live-action movie, especially when I climbed the El Capitan with bare hands at the end. I was really afraid that he would fall down accidentally, without knowing the fate of the protagonist. The staff who participated in the shooting at the scene were even more frightened and apprehensive (the photographer sometimes dared not look at the monitor)…. - Muse's sound near the end creditsThe prelude took me by surprise.
