1. Jimmy and Anker suffered an avalanche, but they miraculously survived. Renan fell on a rock while skiing, and once said goodbye to mountaineering. The three of them climbed Mount Meru for the first time, and they were only 100 meters away from reaching the top. still gave up. They had each died once elsewhere, and the mountaineering brought them the worst memories, but they still returned to the embrace of the snow-capped mountains. This time, they did it, they were the first climbers to complete the Shark Ridge on Meru Central, and all three won the Pole-Pole Gold for that climb in 2011.
2. This film has been saved on my computer for nearly half a year, and I only watched it completely a few days ago. This is a documentary about mountain climbing. The first time I climbed Meru, there are still 100 meters left. Anker looked up at the peak above 100 meters and descended in frustration. I think this is the most moving part of the whole film. Being so close to his dream, yet having to give up, makes Anker one of the greatest mountaineers. Another thing to mention, it turned out to be him. In 1999, Mallory's body was found on the north slope of Mount Everest! Although it was not a summit achievement, I think he is a great god.
Jimmy Chin, many people think that he is a mixed race, or an Indian or a Tibetan, but he is not. He is an authentic Han Chinese, but he is also an authentic American, optimistic, brave and advocating freedom. One of his parents is from Harbin and the other is from Wenzhou. He immigrated to the United States in his early years. He is one of the best mountaineers and outdoor photographers on the planet. Most of the entire film was filmed by him carrying the camera on the top of the mountains at an altitude of 6,000 meters. He promised his mother that he would not die in front of her. Perhaps it was this commitment that gave him a more rational understanding of mountaineering.
Renan is good at technical rock climbing and has little experience in high altitude climbing. At one point he might have given up climbing because of a serious fall while skiing. However, there are always a few things in the world that inspire you to overcome all kinds of difficulties and regain the things you love.
3. This film is not only about mountain climbing, it is about friendship, family affection, love, inheritance, belief and choice.
Two of Anker's friends died in the mountain disaster, one was his teacher and the other was his partner. He also found Mallory's body, and he himself escaped from the avalanche. He knew better how to restrain himself from being in the The desire to reach the top in danger, so he decided to descend for the first time. The second time at Meru, he handed the first summit honor to Jimmy, just because it was his turn to lead according to the prearrangement. But I know that it is not only because of the prior arrangement, it is both inheritance and trust.
Not to mention Jimmy, just because of his Chinese identity and the title of the top mountaineering photographer, I admire him all the time. What's more, he is optimistic and rational, has a beautiful wife and a happy family.
4. Back to mountaineering, alpine mountaineering is always more attractive than Himalayan mountaineering, but also more dangerous. Not to mention the Alpine mountaineering method to climb the snowy peaks of the Himalayas. Therefore, the wild dream on the top of the mountains will never lack fans, even if it is difficult.
In the movie, Krakauer also played a friendly role. This mountaineer and journalist who has experienced the 96 Mount Everest disaster, wrote "Into the Thin Air", and won the Pulitzer Prize, is also the great god that I yearn for.
5. Finally, there are no brothers who do not climb mountains. Although the place above 8,000 meters above sea level has nothing to do with the morality of the plains, mountaineering should always be with the person you trust the most. I clearly saw this in
