      The meaning of things is defined by people

      1. What is "conquering nature"? Is there any essential difference between the meaning of reaching the summit and accomplishing anything that is challenging for an individual? Except for the scenery, my enthusiasm for mountaineering is far inferior to the few friends around me.
      2. Extreme environments are often the strongest catalyst for people's selfish nature. High-altitude mountaineering, it is difficult to protect yourself, and there is still someone to take care of the broken leg. This...

      The premise of chasing dreams is not a dog leash

      The friendship line and growth line are better set up. Although this is an adaptation of a real story, some plots are still slightly weak. The deepest feeling is that Harlow quarreled with his wife, indicating that he had to go to K2. The wife said that you might die or never come back again. Harlow said I will not die, I promise. If I go there, it means you say you can not die if you don't want to die? ! To be honest, this is the main reason why I never wait to see extreme challengers. In...

      Real climber

      There are not many mountaineering movies, and there are fewer mountaineering movies that feel real.
      "Vertical Limit" is very famous, but it is definitely not a real mountaineering. "Into the Thin Air Zone" is very real, but it is a bit like a documentary, almost identical to the memoir of the same name, lacking in-depth description of the climber.
      What really moved me was this K2, because the climbers here are real. They have their own family, their own lives, and they have...

      top of the world

      I watched K2 by myself very late, just like the vertical limit of the previous mountaineering film, the vertical limit grasps people's hearts, but this film has warm emotions in the ordinary. Still very attractive.

          I am a relatively frail and sick person. To me, running is already a great burden. Although I also appreciate the beauty of sports, I always seem to be incapable. I have climbed several large and small mountains before. The pain of climbing at that time seems to be more...

      allways K2...

      Mountaineering movies often end with a tragic ending.

      This one rarely ends with the incredible rescue of the two protagonists, and has a slightly false comedy color.

      There is no undead in a mountaineering movie. Every time I watch it, I can’t help but guess how many people will die in the owner’s kilometer? A faint shadow of tragedy always hangs over mountaineering. This is the most dangerous sport in the world, and it is also the most attractive sport. Fortunately, my...

      I read wildest dream & everest. It feels much worse than everest. It's just that there are too few shots of the environment, and there is no such immersive feeling. And the plot is fake. Give it a...

      The plot is a little off, but the filming is great! ! ! Large sections of large sections of the real scene shooting, the scenery is very beautiful! ! ! This piece is indeed more sensational than the vertical limit! !...

      When I stand on the top of a mountain and it's taken all my strength and all my courage to get there, just for one second, one second, I feel the truth of my life. I have to have...

      Amateur climbers challenge K2. After I went to the IP, I got a better understanding of the mountaineering films. At least some technical equipment can understand a little...

    Movie quotes

    • Harold: What about, uh, Dallas? What's his name? What's his problem?

      Taylor Brooks: Dallas Woolf. We went to Law School together. He was good in the classroom... I was better in the courtroom. There's no contest in the bedroom!

    • Harold: [Harold and Taylor are in a tent] Hey Taylor, you awake?

      Taylor Brooks: No.

    • Taylor Brooks: If you ask me, it costs too much.

      Harold: What?

      Taylor Brooks: Love. It's way overpriced.
