"North Wall" is not a mountaineering movie with many bloody elements or shocking scenes. I feel that what I have seen is the entire mountaineering process of two German climbers from preparation to climbing to distress and finally failure. , but this may be the reason why I like this film. There is no excessive exaggeration and lyricism, but some are unassuming determination and forbearing and persistent temperament. I guess this may be the characteristics of real climbers.
The tragic heroes can always make people sigh with emotion. Although the mountaineering team in the film failed to reach the top or even survived, it is still admired and missed. Those words that may have been clichéd—courage, faith, sharing weal and woe, and those plot elements that make people accustomed to it—the friendship between men, the trust and trust between peers, the love of childhood sweethearts, these do not give me a sense of novelty , but still willing to follow them to experience and feel. Perhaps because we are all members of the masses, we have almost no chance, let alone the courage and courage, to choose the path that the real mountain warriors set foot on. This may be the reason why I always admire adventurers, and always have a surging temperament for adventurers. I don’t know if there will be a chance or some time node in my future life that will allow me to fulfill those longings and dreams that have always existed in my heart, but I am always willing to have these desires to bring me long-term belief and persistence.
For this type of film, I always see some comments about the conquering spirit of climbers. After watching this film, I kept thinking, is there really a so-called conquest? Leaving aside other grand topics involved in human history, as far as the act of mountaineering is concerned, does the meaning of "conquest" really exist? Or does "conquering nature" or even "conquering man himself" really make a lot of sense?
I think a mountain that stands there, has been there for hundreds of thousands of years, and will still be there for hundreds of thousands of years later, the moments when humans climb it are so insignificant. Sometimes when I am bored, I will think, in the long natural existence or in the space-time of the vast universe, how small and unknowable the human beings, the individual individuals, will be in the game between man and nature. In the process, we seem to have achieved excellence, but in the eyes of nature, in the eyes of the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas that stood on the horizon long before human beings were born, we are only one of their existence. It's just a fleeting little spot of light. In this sense, what we call "conquest" is ridiculous. I believe more that in the long period of time that we have existed, we were fortunate enough to stand side by side with these majestic peaks, and these ancient peaks may also be reborn because of the privilege to meet us at a certain node in the long time and space. . We and the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas on this earth are similar and independent individuals in a sense. For mountaineering, the most important thing may not be who conquers who, but at a certain moment in a long time and space, we are fortunate enough to stand been together.
