      despair

      After watching Bingfeng for 168 hours, I realized that a person's despair can be divided into several layers. At first, Joe, who was hanging on the cliff, was in despair and couldn't do anything. Later, he fell into the ice cave and experienced despair, even though he knew that Roaring and yelling is very irrational for a climber, and the deepest despair after that is the music in your head not far from the tent, right? Although I didn't quite understand what the meaning of the music was, I...

      Can you still enjoy the irresistible beauty in a state of crisis?

      For 168 hours, under the conditions of broken legs, no food, no rescue, extremely harsh environment of ice and snow, and all kinds of unfavorable factors, facing the snow-capped mountains in front of you, the main peak you just challenged, does Joe still appreciate the purest blue sky and white clouds? heart?

      This is a question that has been entangled in my heart throughout the entire viewing process. It seems a bit off the beaten track, but I have to say, it's definitely a good...

      Transcend oneself

      The turning point of the whole story happened on the ice cliff. The two people who are tied to a rope 150 feet apart can no longer work together to solve the problem. In fact, reality pushes them into a situation of tit-for-tat. The only choice is to cut the rope. It's just who will do it. .

      In Hollywood movies, this choice is usually made by the person below. Because for them, it's a death anyway, the difference is only in death by themselves or by dragging others to die together....

      Mountaineering movie

      Snow scenery is invincible praise. I've read the book before-I haven't finished it, and angrily commented that I can't accept Joe and Simon's view of climbing. It's great to make a movie. The scenery and majestic vibe of the snow-capped mountains make the subjectivity insignificant. I mentioned this movie several times during the exercise, so I became interested in it. The scenery is really amazing. I don’t know if the shooting process really reproduced the climbing process in Peru, or it was...

      puzzle

      Life is a big puzzle.

      Our whole life is just a piece of the puzzle, trying our best to make up for it.

      Very few people can complete it.

      It's annoying to hang a book bag and talk about big truths, but I can't help but want to nagging again.

      Review the old homework before the exam, go to the exam room after psychological construction, search it out and read it.

      Must watch d9, the tidbits include the filming of the documentary, the last part of the...

      It's hard to hold back tears. . . Over and over again in self-denial, over and over again with ridicule of my conscious or unintentional choices, nothing will stop, either there or here, always somewhere, always doing something, life. ....

    Behind the scenes gags

    In order to make this documentary, Simon and Joe not only had to repeat their previous experience on the set in London, but they also went back to the old place to explain what happened at the time. Qiao said that when he initially agreed to the director to revisit his hometown, he thought he could overcome mentaldisorder . Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the place where Simon was discovered that day, his emotions were out of control,...

    Movie quotes

    • Joe Simpson: Bloody hell... I'm gonna die to Boney M.

    • Joe Simpson: I didn't put a knot into the end of the rope. If there was nothing down there, I would fall, and it would be quick.

    • Simon Yates: rather than just sit here, feeling sorry for myself or whatever, I'll get on with it and I'll die on the way down.
