"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 satisfactory jobs. Their yearning and love for mountaineering comes from their hearts and is in their bones. The two protagonists in the movie are the best partners in mountaineering and rock climbing, but they seem to be very easy-going. One is a professor of physics who drags his family and the other is a lawyer with a mouthful of brass. Facing the snow-capped mountains, physics professors also have to face family and career. This kind of conflict and contradiction resonates with those who have climbed the mountain. The lawyer is professional and self-centered, but when he treats his partner in distress, he did not choose to leave him, because mountaineering can bring people such friendship and life and death.
