an awesome movie

To say it’s awesome, it’s because: 1. It’s not a Happy Ending family action movie; 2. The shots are simple, and the casualties are realistic; 3. The narrative is tough, and it’s not rambling. Basically, these kinds of hardcore movies are my favorites.

One is strictly forbidden to climb the north face of the Alps. Under the influence of the Nazi spirit, under the instigation of the media, and inspired by the blood of mountaineering, two pairs of mountaineers began their journey to the north face. Undoubtedly, the process is tragic. Many will speculate whether the German youth would have made it to the top without the Austrians. I think, this is not the purpose of the film, otherwise the director could have used the material to succeed in the future. Only tragedy can generate thinking and strength, and only desperate situations can reflect the true nature of human nature. The film did, the instinct of dying and the power of love, in the film Mars radiates.

The version I read seems to be too long. If some scenes of female reporters can be deleted, it should be more compact.

    Wonderful lens application. I have seen the best mountaineering and extreme sports movies. Morality and honor, life and death are so close.

    The end of power and the other side of will lie across the gap between man and nature.

North Face quotes

  • [first lines]

    [in German, quoting English subtitles]

    Luise Fellner: [voiceover] When you're at the bottom - Toni once told me - at the foot of the wall, and you look up, you ask yourself: How can anyone climb that? Why would anyone even want to? But hours later when you're at the top looking down, you've forgotten everything. Except the one person you promised you would come back to.

    [in German, quoting English subtitles]

    Luise Fellner: [voiceover] All I know is that death spared me, and that Toni went away forever that day. One has lived if one has loved. There are times when I find this infinitely hard to believe. Most days I feel that I am alive. And that love is the reason for that.
