    The most surprising encounter of this film festival. Every moment and every step of a rock climber is a choice between life and death. Facing the snow-capped mountains under the stars, he has the deepest respect for nature, and he still insists on risking his life for perseverance. This documentary has a personal story or was shot by one of the climbers. It feels more real and emotional, so I like this more than "Mount...

    A movie worthy of 6 stars, even if it is only a sprint away from the top, it is undoubtedly the most rational behavior, which is thick and thin. Beautiful mountains, snow,...

    Three Practitioners of Existentialism: To Live Towards Death, To Surpass Oneself. (I can't brush those green screen "heroes" of Marvel after reading it...) Jimmy is so handsome, I used to brush his extreme photography when I was able to go to pinterst, I mean...

    Jimmy Chin's parents fled to the United States during the Cultural Revolution. As a second-generation immigrant, he became a professional climber, mountaineer, skier, director and photographer without being influenced by his parents and the Chinese community. Asians are rarely seen in these industries. Face, the first time I saw his documentary, I thought I was an Indian. I'm curious how he overcomes these resistances to do what he really wants to...

    If death is what it takes, so be it. The three protagonists are too arrogant, and it doesn't matter how good or bad the editing of the documentary is in the shock. When Jimmy suffered an avalanche, he saw it on other shows when he was a child. At that time, he wanted to know whether the buried skier was dead or alive. The answer was found by chance after so many...

    rational control

    A short essay for Training for the New Alpinism by mountaineer Ueli Strek, known as the "Swiss Machine", pays homage to the film and its trio.

    I'm a control freak, and I need a lot of structure even in my day-to-day life. In mountain climbing, I have to feel that I have everything under control,...

    Climb shark's fin

The film was selected for Best...
