Are we qualified to judge other people's lives?

I watched it in the Oriental Giant Screen Hall of Shanghai Studios, and the effect was very good. The atmosphere of cold, tension and fear is created very well, and it really feels like being there. After reading it, I have learned more about mountaineering, which is worth seeing. It's just that the narrative and characterization are lackluster, and I didn't recognize those people in the end.

From another point of view, the focus of such a film based on real events is not its shooting techniques and artistic value, but the mountaineering itself. Looking at the comments of netizens, the most said is probably: no zuo no die, why you try; and then there will be mountaineering enthusiasts retorting: I know that some people will use their bullshit concept to measure a world-renowned mountaineering master .

In fact, it is a question of values. It is what is valuable and meaningful. In the end, is it a cup of tea, chess, calligraphy and painting, or a backpack and a bicycle to climb the snow-capped mountains? Is it to get married and have children to provide a house or Lijiang Yue throws it on the road? I just want to say that for most people, their seemingly free life is not really a choice, because no matter what you choose, it is the same mediocre.

    It is understandable that the director tried his best to be documentary, but not too subjective or critical. But the problem lies in the fact that the documentary does not mean that there is no in-depth point of view, and the narrative also needs to be prioritized. There is a sea of ​​stars, but there are no truly complete characters. There's a feeling that the movie doesn't land anywhere. And this angle did not last to the end. The last paragraph still can't help but stir up.... It's not bad, but it should be better with such material

    It seemed normal before. Disrespectful after watching the climbers

    Rob Hall: Can you just listen up? Guys? We got 2,000 feet, 600 vertical meters to Camp Four. It's roped all the way, so I know you can make it. Now, once we get to the yellow band we're gonna regroup, put on the masks, turn on the gas. Make sense?
