Everest behind the scenes gags

In order to show the real effect, the crew reached Mount Everest more than 6,000 meters above sea level, which has exceeded the height that the insurance company can guarantee.
Christian Bale was originally scheduled to star in the protagonist Rob Hall, but withdrew from the film in order to make "Exodus: Gods and Pharaohs". This role was later played by Jason Clark.
After Bell retired, director Batasa Komaku modified the script, so that Rob Hall's original role as the first protagonist declined, the distribution of the scenes became more even, and it became a group play structure.
The 96-year mountain disaster recorded in the film was the most serious mountaineering accident in the Everest region. However, during the filming in Nepal, an avalanche on Mount Everest on April 18, 2014 claimed the lives of 16 climbers, and the death toll exceeded the 96-year disaster.
Director Komaku insisted not to use green screens or special effects to create an icy environment. Instead, the crew moved to a mountain in Nepal to shoot on the ground in the wind and snow.
In order to shoot the film, actor Josh Brolin overcomes his fear of heights. Experience mountain climbing every day before shooting.
At a place close to 8,000 meters above sea level, the temperature was severely lost, and the actors' faces, hands, and feet were sometimes unconscious during filming.

Everest short comments

Lower than expected, the first hour is a group of people climbing the mountain, the next hour is a group of people struggling to go down the mountain, and then the protagonists die one by one. In fact, it is a good theme, the script is not polished enough, the simplification and flattening of the characters make the first half dull, but fortunately the visual effects and soundtrack are very powerful, which makes up for the lack of the plot, and the last sensational part is a bit rushed, it could have been better 2015- 10-31 18:16

It is a documentary with enhanced special effects, and the plot is flat without any waves. But there are still many deep issues discussed. The relationship between the summit and life. Team leader responsibility. Anyway, I think life is more important than anything else. If faced with a choice, I would rather have regrets for the rest of my life (maybe it will be a lifetime of regrets?) However, Mount Everest really doesn't seem to be technical, it's all about physical strength and cold resistance and high reaction ability.
