With the strong recommendation of countless friends, I walked into the screening hall of " free-hand rock climbing " and started the journey of adventure with the protagonist of the movie...

Before watching the movie, I didn't know the basic situation of this movie, but just checked the unprotected solo climbing online (Free) Solo) What does it mean, and then I learned that

is defined as without a protector, without ropes and seat belts, which is the most extreme adventure on rocks.

Any slight mistake may cause the body to become unbalanced and lead to a tragedy.

After all, there is no external protection measures for rock climbing like , and you will pay the price of your life if you step on it.

Perhaps, a gust of wind, a piece of falling gravel, and a bird coming to steal biscuits may cause the climber to lose balance and fall from a height of hundreds of meters to die. What is

? Without even a rope, climbing on the smooth rock wall of that is 90 degrees perpendicular to and more than 900 meters high?

Oh, No! I think this movie should be an adventure thriller.

However, what I didn't expect was that this is 018's Oscar Best Documentary , with a Douban score of 9.0. As soon as the movie

begins, you will know that since it is a documentary, the people in it are not actors, but real people doing real things.

has no "plot needs" and no "director arrangements". The protagonist Alex in the documentary is alive when climbing with bare hands. If he fails, the whole crew will watch the protagonist fall to death.

When watching a movie, you don’t know whether you will witness the miracle or destroy next.

So in the play, before Alex climbed the Chiefs Peak, which is about 1,000 meters high, the crew began to discuss what they should do first and then, because this is completely possible.

rock climbing with bare hands, this kind of climbing is not to be wrong. On a rock wall that is hundreds of meters high, a mistake in means death . There are indeed many excellent rock climbers in history who die from such attempts.

Among many rock climbing enthusiasts, only 1% of people dare to try rock climbing with their bare hands, and

shows its danger.

All thinking about free solo is born almost philosophical:

What kind of fear will climbers face? Is
a life-related attempt worth it?
Why do you see famous rock climbers dying under cliffs, and bare-handed rock climbers are still willing to challenge?
When they made their first foot at the bottom of the rock wall, did with the belief of winning or the determination to die?

…

But there is no doubt that every free solo practitioner, as a climber, will be given the highest respect. In the last half hour of the

video, I really couldn't lean on the back of the chair, and the sweat in my palms rose again and again. Although there was air conditioner in the cinema, my back was still soaked.

Imagine you lying on a vertical rock wall, your fingertips against a small bulge on the rock wall, and the contact area between the toes and the rock wall is only the size of a fingernail, and it depends entirely on the sticky rubber on the soles of the rock climbing shoes and the friction between the rocks and the rocks to bear a person's body weight.

friction is an invisible and intangible thing. For such a small contact area, even if the toes turn slightly, the friction may be smaller, and the balance will disappear instantly... Just thinking about it, my legs are weak.

In short, this is an unprecedented movie viewing experience for me.

is great shooting, the scenery is beautiful, the story is great, and carries a rich mountaineering philosophy and aesthetics .

But the most important point is that all this actually happens, is not a creation but a record!

cannot make any mistakes on on the cliff of . One mistake, one is distracted, a gust of wind, a bird cry, a mistake, and one step miss, all may lead to failure, and make people bury themselves at the bottom of the valley and be doomed.

Many people oppose extreme sports such as bare-hand rock climbing, saying that they are "meaningless", "extremely disrespectful to life", and "cannot create any value". There are also discussions in the

movie about whether to do this thing "for experience" or "for becoming famous".

The video does not provide answers to these questions, but I think, perhaps, everyone has one thing, and can only make themselves strongly perceive their own existence when doing this.

For Alex and his partners, climbing the cliff with bare hands may be the best self-awareness and self-identity.

What the public often calls "meaning" and "value" ultimately comes down to "social meaning" and "economic value", which is the most easily measured value.

If you are striving for such "meaning" or "value", you may become an "outlier" in the eyes of others.

Everyone knows that life is valuable, but if someone risks his life, neither seeking fame and profit for himself, nor serving the "great cause" that textbooks recognize, then this choice will constitute a clear offense because of their deviance and difficulty in understanding them by ordinary people.

People will talk about it, but they are more ridiculed, criticized and opposed. People are never polite about "anomals".

In fact, climbing with bare hands is not a direct challenge without any preparation. Alex has extraordinary scientific planning capabilities and project management capabilities for rock climbing.

Facing the Chiefs Rock, which is recognized as the highest and most difficult to climb, it took Alex 28 years to prepare for this.

Alex practices the route again and again with the rope protection until every detail is clear before climbing without a rope.

Starting point, climbing route, footing point, and movement posture of each step have been carefully designed and practiced many times.

The Sheikh Rock, which is more than 1,000 meters long, cannot be perfect palm-sized cracks all the way, or even cracks all the way.

The entire rock wall involves dozens of different styles of lines, each involving different techniques. Through training and attempts again and again, Alex formed detailed text records and muscle memory for the corresponding techniques of all sections.

He remembers each of the more than 1,000 movements on the line, and knows the feeling of touching each hand and stepping on each foot.

He even crawled wrongly, so that he would not panic if he made a mistake and knew how to deal with it.

Based on all the efforts made by Alex for free-hand rock climbing and his psychological activities before and after rock climbing, I think is a person who puts his life on his mission.

Alex said that it doesn’t matter why you fight, it’s your path, you must pursue the ultimate. You face fear to achieve your goal.

Based on my understanding of him, I think that he climbed rock with bare hands not to pursue excitement and heartbeat, but to maintain continuous self-growth and orderly self-discipline in , and to do his best to become a more outstanding rock climber.

He expands his comfort zone by practicing the movements repeatedly.

He believes that Everything that makes him fear will become something that limits him , and he will try his best to eliminate fear until he can't feel it.

also because of this movie, I began to really consider the issue of life and death. When you have to think about the intersection of student and death, you will naturally become wiser.

I also realize that will easily make life busy and disorderly if I don’t think about death. is like I used to, and I don’t think that life may end, but just enjoy life and spend time (Kill time).

However, death will come one day, and at that time, what do you want to leave to this world?

Alex accepts the fact that he may lose his life at any time, so he will face life with a lingering attitude, make the best use of his time as much as possible, and climb one peak after another.

There are setbacks during the rock climbing process, but Alex will record every failure and all possible mistakes in his notebook, memorizing them to ensure that he is clear about the details of every climb.

,000 complete preparation is the source of his power to overcome his fear.

Not everyone's dream is to pursue wealth and power. Everyone has a full authority to set their own life agenda.

suggests that friends who have not watched this movie have not yet been watched. If you want to watch it, you must go to the cinema to watch the big screen in order to feel the breathtaking beauty and the immersive climbing experience.

Ps:

I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, reunion and happiness for your family!
