can often be seen on social platforms such as Weibo, Douban, Hupu, etc. Many film critics in Pi's circle of friends have recommended this film, and Douban netizens have a rating of 9.0. "Freehand Rock Climbing" is a model of "box office has not moved, word-of-mouth first" .
It is a rare pleasure to enjoy such a masterpiece in front of the cinema’s wide screen. Pico is already ready to follow the protagonist Alex for a "walk on the tip of a knife".
The promotion of a sport often requires the power of a role model, and the protagonist of "Free Rock Climbing" is the chosen son.
Free-hand rock climbing is one of the top ten extreme sports of , . It has a very high mortality rate. It is called "ballet on the rock wall" . Alex is to free-hand rock climbing just like Bolt is to track and field. Jordan is the undisputed first person in basketball.
The English name of "Free solo" is "Free solo", which means unprotected free climbing . More precisely, climbers can only rely on climbing shoes and powder bags for rock climbing. In the film, Alex uses this method to challenge , the 900-meter-high Emirates Rock in Yosemite National Park, which is a new world record in the climbing industry.
Although the challenge of the film recording was completed in June 2017, as a spoiled film in advance, its excitement is not reduced by half , because the focus of the film is not the result of the challenge, but the meticulous Recording the process of challenge, let us have both visual enjoyment and spiritual shock!
Pico thinks this film is attractive for three main reasons.
is the challenger Alex.
As a rock climber, Alex is very talented.
According to tests, he is not born with fear, which is the perfect gene in the climbing industry.
At the same time, he started to learn to climb in the climbing gym under the guidance of his father at the age of 5. He appeared in the junior climbing championships at a very young age. The basic skills and competition competition also made him so strong and tenacious. Personality traits.
Alex’s lifestyle is even more bizarre. He is well-known and has obtained good material returns through outdoor brand sponsorship, but he never buys a house. Instead, he lives in a RV, rushing around the cliffs and living a life in isolation. In the film
, he went to school to give a lecture. A student asked him how much money he could make. He shyly stated that his income was equivalent to a dentist. He could have been richer, but he was already content with such a life.
is such an alien who has found a girlfriend. The key point is that this girlfriend is still very handsome, willing to live a single and "boring" life with him, as a single dog, even if he is not satisfied, he can only hold back. Who is the first person to climb? It seems that men still have to have their own careers to reap stable love.
girlfriend is his fan girl. The first time I met Alex was at his autograph meeting. After getting acquainted with each other, he was quickly attracted by his personality outside of professional skills. After the
film was broadcast, this girlfriend was also quite controversial. Netizens said that she didn’t love Alex, but only valued his fame, but we still shouldn’t mix up the personal affairs of the two. At least a stable emotion is also important for Alex’s rock climbing career. Very helpful.
has talent and love bonus, Alex still needs to practice diligently, in fact, he is more hard training than ordinary people, he was born in 1985, he dropped out of university at the age of 19 and began to practice professional rock climbing, after more than ten years They danced between the rock walls.
Before completing this challenge, he has completed more than 1,000 free solo. For this challenge, he prepared for a year and a half, during which he repeatedly climbed nearly 60 times with the help of ropes, and finally completed the challenge in less than 4 hours. It seems impossible, but when you finish watching the film, Understand that his success is reasonable.
The second most interesting aspect of this film is the shooting method. It is not easy for
to record this feat. The
video is very large and records how the photography team behind Alex works. Compared with Alex, their work is not easy at all. It is necessary to clearly record all the details of Alex climbing while ensuring the safety of the photographer. Maximize the impact of shooting on Alex to a minimum.
The photography team of this film is all composed of professional rock climbers . They reach the top of the mountain from the rock wall, and then descend to various key points in the Alex climbing process with the help of auxiliary equipment. Some are responsible for shooting the perspective, while others are capturing details. The 8 photographers cooperated in an orderly manner.
With the help of the team behind the scenes, Alex has a comfortable challenging environment. As an audience, he not only sees the excitement, but also the doorway.
For example, through the introduction of the film, we know that the 900-meter challenge is divided into 33 nodes, of which the most difficult is located at the 22nd node. In this case, Alex has to make 17 difficult technical actions. Through editing, 3 hours and 56 minutes have been condensed into the essence of tens of minutes; through the 3D animation display, we have a God’s perspective and can see Alex’s climbing progress from time to time; through the close-up lens, we can clearly see many so-called efforts A point is just a few millimeters of protrusions. Alex must apply enough magnesium powder on it, become familiar with the technical movements, and rely on the muscle memory formed for decades to successfully overcome the difficulties.
It can be said that the art of film handles the niche sport of rock climbing interesting and predictable.
The third highlight of the film is rock climbing.
believes that audiences who have known this film will be full of awe of extreme sports. It is not the kind of grandstanding performance on the live broadcast platform, but the dazzling brilliance of decades of persistence.
is as strong as Alex will also make mistakes when training with ropes and fall from a cliff. During the first challenge of
, he felt that his state was not right on the way and had to give up, and then adjusted for several months before starting again. In fact, it is mentioned in many places in the film that many of Alex’s teammates lost their lives in rock climbing. . These details of
also remind the audience that is not a Hollywood movie stunt . Alex does not have three heads and six arms. He is dragging flesh and blood and taking life as a bet. represents the limit of human beings and challenges , but also because of fear The true appearance of Alex's figure is taller!
From a higher point of view, it is the existence of a person like Alex who is unyielding to ease, that mankind will have miracles and the world will continue to progress.
September is the beginning of the school season. Many people have made plans for the new semester. Small goals are like the connection points on the Emirates Mountain, waiting for us to climb.
On such a day when the autumn breeze is refreshing, watching such a movie of adrenal rush, the coolness of the body is intertwined with the fiery heart, the hope of life and the hardships of reality coexist, let us, like Alex, say to tomorrow: I am ready Okay, let go!
