The story begins with a mountaineering accident in Annie's family who loves mountaineering. An accident occurred during the rock climbing process. When the lives of Annie, her brother Peter, and her father were hanging by a thread, her father ordered Peter to cut the rope and saved the two brothers and sisters by falling off the cliff to reduce the weight of the rope. This also caused Anne and Peter. The gap between.
Three years later, Annie is about to reach the top of K2, which is challenging the limits of mankind, accompanied by businessman Van Elliot and young guide Tommy. Annie and Van Elliot have different intentions for reaching the summit. Annie feels that going to K2 will be closer to her father's soul, while Van Elliot is for her own commercial campaign. The different purposes make the two of them hold the same strong determination.
Because of this determination, the three fell into a deep valley in a blizzard climate looting that was not suitable for summiting, waiting for rescue from the base camp. Among them, the person most eager to rescue the victims is undoubtedly Peter who stayed behind at the base.
Peter's decision was to use the nitroglycerin from the military base as a bomb, and then organize a six-member rescue team to blast the snow valley to rescue the victims within 22 hours in the dimly-directed disaster area. If it exceeds the time, Anne and her group will die of pulmonary edema due to lack of water.
It was not too difficult for Peter to organize five other people in the base camp and divide them into three groups. Each group carried a bottle of high-risk nitroglycerin and set off from the three roads to rescue.
The process was thrilling, the visual effects of the shooting were impeccable, and the ending was not too suspenseful-Peter rescued the dying Anne at the cost of the six rescue team killed four people. The other two who lost their lives were the businessman Van Elliott who wanted to take the supplies as his own, and the guide Tommy who was killed by Ellier. The three-year estrangement between Peter and Annie finally melted into the snow and ice with 22 hours of thrilling rescue.
It sang heroes, selflessness and bravery with human beings. It said this sentence through the mouth of rescue members: People always die, and Allah says that death is more important than Mount Tai.
This no regrets in the plot, it is inevitable that the main theme of the movie should have the awe-inspiring. And this film, I am more interested, but I don't dare to think about the answer is, can Anne and Peter, who are physically fatal, be able to live calmly from now on?
Yes, saving people is not a waste of resources. People who ignore life will eventually sound their own death knell. More importantly, the members involved in the rescue are voluntary-we must sing heroes.
However, how should life continue after the rescue is successful? Annie was rescued by nitroglycerin, but the explosive also accidentally blew up two rescue members; Annie was successfully found, but this discovery was due to the fact that the blood of the guide Tommy was made into a signal firework and sprayed outside the snow valley; Annie was pulled out of the deep valley by a rope , But this rope was still tied to the most experienced rescue member Wei Mengge-as in the scene three years ago, in order to reduce the weight, Wei Mengge cut the rope with a knife and buried himself in the bottom of the valley.
All this, when entangled, the shock surpasses the display of selflessness, no regrets and heroism. The real ending is not in the movie.
Human nature cannot stand scrutiny, and when scrutinized, it is more terrifying than the smell of death when an avalanche is coming. Therefore, the heroism of "not to ignore life" expressed in the movie makes people dare not take it easy.
You did not ignore me, but if you and your loss are to be exchanged for my life, will my calmness respect you? Is it so simple to live and die?
The story begins with Anne's father ordering Peter to cut the rope, and ends with Wei Mengge cutting the rope. The bell that seemed to be unlocked, as the film ended, a bigger question mark was hit in my heart.
