This is not just an extreme sports documentary, but reflects the current state of society: the upper class dehumanizes and consumes other people's lives for their beliefs and a good story, while the lower class is forced to lose their lives for glory.
When the two of them had dinner with the reporter before the climb, the editor-in-chief's toast was for glory and pride in facing challenges; after the toast, they couldn't wait to ask them to talk a little more about mountaineering, because that was the fodder for the story, and it was smooth after finishing the toast. Then he answered: the feed was for animals; before the two of them had successfully climbed the mountain, they celebrated in advance and ate a cake shaped like a mountain; and when they knew they were going to retreat, the editor-in-chief lost interest, and was trying again. It's still newsworthy to tell new stories, knowing that maybe they'll be stuck in a snowstorm.
In order to cross the class and climb up from the bottom, the heroine has done a lot of absurd things, but still retains the most basic emotions and human nature of people, and is a confused and contradictory character in the film. For example, after knowing that there is a lot of risk in climbing, they continue to tell them that this is an opportunity to cross the class, hoping that they will agree to climb the mountain for themselves; but give a sincere blessing when toasting before the mountain: return safely! In the face of a good story and individual life, he chose to try many times to rescue the climber against the will of the editor-in-chief.
What kind of belief is that requires sacrificing the most simple and basic relationship between people and sacrificing life.
