    Pleasant view, excellent color and photography. This is not a documentary, but a very good documentary film. The whole film is full of torture of humanity, conscience and responsibility. With incredible perseverance and faith, complete the miracle of self-help. Abandoning a partner has been controversial and difficult to distinguish between right and wrong. More importantly, even in a desperate situation, you can't give up...

    Whenever the camera zooms out, Joe, who has become tiny compared to the huge snow-capped mountains, drags his broken legs and crawling in various ravines, pointing directly at the heart; if you hold the belief of survival in a desperate situation, what is all the hardships in...

    It's really touching, but it should be made into a documentary. The direct consequence of making a movie is that the last 45 minutes are seriously boring and...

    As a pseudo-documentary, there are countless passages of chattering interviews with the real protagonist interspersed in the middle, which is very disgusting. At the same time, I strongly suspect that the shooting location is not the steep mountain in the legend. To me, climbing is a process of rediscovering myself, not just showing the sinister...

    10-26-01 The film is based on the real experience of two young British men who conquered the snowy mountains of Siula Grande in Peru in 1985. Character prototype ancestors and Simon both appear in the film. The accompanying footage records the experience of Zu and Simon returning to Peru's Siula Grande Snow Mountain after many years to shoot the...

    Compared to 127 hours, I like the tension of 127 hours, but Bingfeng 168 hours gives me more realism. JOE is really a small universe...

    Reborn from nowhere, the most reliable is only yourself

    Joe and Simon are ready to challenge a snowy mountain in Peru, a route that no one has ever climbed to the top of. The two are excited to face the unknown challenge and live for it.
        The first day was relatively smooth, but I was deeply attracted by this way of climbing. With a load of dozens of...

Touching the Void quotes

  • Joe Simpson: You gotta make decisions. You gotta keep making decisions, even if they're wrong decisions, you know. If you don't make decisions, you're stuffed.

  • Joe Simpson: We climb 'cause it's fun. And mainly it was fun. That's all we ever did. And we were fairly anarchic and fairly irresponsible, and we didn't give a damn about anyone else or anything else, and we just wanted to climb the world. And it was fun. It was just brilliant fun. And...

    Joe Simpson: Every now and then it went wildly wrong. And...

    [short laugh]

    Joe Simpson: then it wasn't.
