Including the previous "Freehand Rock Climbing", this is the second rock climbing documentary I've watched. I like the title of this documentary. Although "Freehand Rock Climbing" is more exciting, this one has more power to infect me.
Because I think Tommy is closer to an ordinary person, so he resonates with me a little, a strict father, not good at expressing his emotions, silently enduring the hardships of rock climbing, after failing again and again, he began to doubt himself, and finally knew what he wanted What is, more of a baptism and growth.
And Alex of "free climbing" gave me more of a feeling of a perfect rock climbing machine with extreme self-discipline. He challenged the limits of human free climbing, both physically and psychologically. He could have been superior. life, but chooses rock climbing, or even the extreme challenge of freehand rock climbing. He said in the beginning that people are mortal.
But what moved me the most was Kevin in "Wall of Dawn". Maybe he didn't have Tommy's talent or Alex's self-discipline, but he failed again and again, tried again and again, until the moment he succeeded I feel as excited as he is...
These people have all succeeded, and if they fail, I am afraid that the last thing I want to see is the statement that "they won't die if they don't die!" Is life not a right, but a mere duty? Why can't we take risks for the things we love? Is it right just because we all have to live the same life? Isn't it better to die like a walking dead every day?
I learned that people should strive to live the way they want to live. Failure is inevitable. Even if you have to take risks, you should not give up the courage to be yourself.
