The first thing that can be determined is that this is a real blockbuster worthy of the IMAX fare. Just coming to appreciate the stunning scenery on Mount Everest is already a great visual enjoyment. The silhouettes of ladders and mountain climbers appear so small in the endless chasm and snow. Every step of the hard progress, fearful in heart, but to win respect. Humans’ challenge to their own willpower and control is limited to this. Extreme sports is now or never. If you do it, you will work hard, and if you don't do it, you will not have it. This is definitely a blockbuster realistic enough. No sensationalism, no close-ups of eyes to emphasize pain, tension or despair. Just the sound of the howling storm is thrilling. The Chinese teacher taught us the importance of environmental description since we were young. The most surprising thing in Desperate Altitude is the realistic sound effects and scenery. Wind, snow, glaciers, black clouds, and occasional bright sunshine are all real. Sky blue is really a beautiful color. Almost the entire movie is advancing in "confrontation", the confrontation between man and nature, the confrontation between man and others, and the confrontation between man and self. If you look carefully, there are many group plays, and the creation of individual characters is weaker, but each character has shown their life and even the tip of the iceberg of their lives, and in terms of point of view, every climber is of the same type. The epitome of the rebels. It is understandable that the director and the screenwriter’s good intentions, and there are many things they want to convey, but many viewers complained that it was very tired and boring to watch. If it is a pastime and does not want to think twice, this film is really too depressing. Because, the whole movie hardly has any exaggeration and deliberately created dramatic conflicts to attract and show favor to the audience.
The death of every climber appeared to be plain. Quick, clean and simple. Short and sudden, as if on Mount Everest, human life and death are so insignificant. The first death was when Doug had not grasped the chain securely after he untied the chain. A gust of wind blew him down the abyss without adding any shots or close-ups to his fall or the reaction of Rob who was 40 meters away from him. So a life, fleeting. The reporter asked why everyone came to climb Mount Everest. A group of people held up their wine glasses and said, "Because the mountain is there." At that time, Doug's answer was to prove that I can reach the top, to prove that a regular person can achieve impossible dream. As a person with a heavy heart of compassion, I paid the most attention to the weak Doug from the beginning. I hope he can climb to the top and go back with the hope of the children. However, nature is unwilling to let the line of happiness show behind the dark clouds. In the second death, H immediately thought he was feverish after his consciousness collapsed, and immediately began to undress, his body slipped, and another life came to an abrupt end. H was the only one who returned to dangerous heights and responded to Rob's call for help. Humanity is infinitely magnified in the uninhabited empty mountain. Choosing to be a selfless person on the treacherous glacier ridge requires not only extreme kindness, but also religious courage. Ironically, H seems to have been stunned by the cold at this time. In the fourth death, Scott, played by the male god, even though he is experienced and strong in mind, he can't stand the limits of physical function. In the fifth death, the camera went straight to Keira picking up the plane at the airport, hugging her beloved partner and friends, but her favorite husband did not appear as expected. Only one scene tells us that the person who shouldn't have been killed in this group of people has been killed. Film art always makes people believe in miracles, but reality does not. I thought that the joy after reaching the summit was over, but the suffering had just begun at that time. I remember when Qinhuangdao ran a half-marathon last year, I was going to take the car when I was going to run a 10k. However, I really ran to the 10k node, and I just thought about 1k more, 1k more to rest, then 2k, 3k, and finally I wanted to not give up even if I fainted on the runway. The charm of extreme challenge lies in this. From the constant struggle of mental and physical strength, the self-masochistic stimulation and sense of accomplishment are obtained. In the film, Beck said that he came to climb because there is always black when he is not climbing. The cloud entangled him, it was a strong depression. Once the family is harmonious, pampered, and life is stable, people die in peace. Some people are born to challenge the world. When the realization of self-worth is not satisfied with social recognition and material abundance, then they will also fall into despair. So Beck came to the mountain. The barren hills filled with rivers and rivers stood between the sky and the earth, and he was like a drop in the sea, and the black cloud in his heart no longer. To put it bluntly, this is really the power of nature.
However, Beck loved his relatives, and when he was struggling on the death line, he survived by the longing for his relatives. Some people may just need to be close to death to remind what they have. Maybe they died again and lost both hands. Beck can cherish his life saved by using a helicopter. The topic is to be a reliable person, yes, let's be a person who makes others feel reliable. This is the greatest emotion that the two-hour movie has brought me. For a mountaineering team, imagine how bad the situation would be without Rob, without people willing to help others in a dangerous environment after putting themselves in danger. For two hours, as a movie fan, I always think of many possible plots in my mind, such as the revelation of team betrayal and distortion of human nature, or the dramatic rekindling of hope, miracles come, however, nothing, no, Have. Even the audience couldn't help but hope that Rob gave up Doug to protect himself, but Rob couldn't do it. There is nothing more cruel to let a good person abandon a life. Everyone does not complain, do the best he can do, for himself, and for others. Every climber is the most reliable person in life, kind and upright. At this point, I suddenly discovered that no matter whether it was watching the whole film or writing about my feelings and feelings, I haven't mentioned the conquest until now. When I mentioned climbing Mount Everest before, people always said to conquer that mountain and also conquer nature. Now, this term is really too hypocritical and naive. Human beings have never been able to equal the power of nature. They are just challenges, how to conquer. For some people who have watched the film and ridiculed that extreme sports are meaningless and zuo: You don’t know why others take their lives as a bet to climb a mountain, just like you don’t know why Salman Khan gave up a billion-dollar business and chose to do it. The same as an ordinary math teacher. Pursue different, why compare. But even if the pursuit is different, it must be respected. Some people think they are living well, but they don't know how they are living, let alone how human beings can live. It is said that it is painful to have a dream but not realize it, but wouldn’t it be even sadder not to have a real dream? If you delve into what the screenwriters and directors want to convey, there are too many things. Today I just want to say that everyone who dares to climb Mount Everest must be a hero. In 1996, this group, the "Adventure Consultants" team, most of them succeeded in reaching the top. They were the winners. They had no regrets, but they had not returned. It is not an honor for those who love Mount Everest to be buried in it.
