After the film was released, it won a box office of more than 1 billion yuan, but it also gained a good reputation and social response.
According to Rao Shuguang, director of the Film Art Center of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and president of the Chinese Film Critics Society, "The Climber" writes the spiritual and emotional state of the characters. "The characters in "The Climber" all have prototype characters. The film gathers these characters together to form a dramatic story with tension. The spirit and emotion of the characters are also displayed. The film is full of the spirit of climbing for the country. As a heavy industry film, its special effects, production, and typified narrative have reached a high level."

If they form a more effective publicity for them, they may have better box office performance." Zhang Jinfeng, editor-in-chief of "China Film News" added, the promotion is For the second time creation, in the process of publicity, the true story of history and the spiritual core of climbing for the country are highlighted, and the effect may be better.

The new mainstream movies all have something in common, such as typified processing and shared value. In addition, the selection of characters in "The Climber" is very modern.
"China Art News" editor-in-chief Kang Wei agreed with this. He believes that "The Climber" has opened up new possibilities for Chinese-style blockbusters. Chinese-style blockbusters resonate with the new era of realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Ideological background and cultural connotation. The film has a confident and artistic expression of the national spirit, family and country feelings, and Chinese stories, and it handles the relationship between real history and artistic creation. The history of the Chinese mountaineering team reaching the summit of Mount Everest is the collective memory of the Chinese nation, providing an emotional basis for empathy, resonance, and resonance with the audience. "The Climber" is not limited to this real history. There is no one-to-one, no pan-documentary or documentary narrative. Instead, it is filmed according to the needs of artistic creation, leading to the success of film creation. The film promotes a strong spirit of patriotism and collectivism at the level of the relationship between people and society, between people and the country, the collective, and the times. Jia Leilei, a researcher at
China Academy of Art, believes that in the video age, most of the expression of society and the recognition of oneself rely on images. The climb in 1960 did not leave a real image. It was a huge loss. This is also the significance of "The Climber" to restore history. He Mei, director of the Network Information Division of the China Federation of Literary and Art Criticism Center, agrees. She said that "The Climber" fills the blank of the domestic mountaineering genre, which is very valuable. "The Climber" has directly crossed over the individual, especially commercial outdoor sports, in recent years. It has directly turned its attention to historical fragments from the 1960s and 1970s, showing that the Chinese people have taken the oath of sovereignty, in order to defend the country and scientific investigation, Climbing twice in very difficult circumstancesThe feat of climbing Mount Everest.
Gao Xiaoli, director of the art department of "Art Newspaper", believes that the essential climbing spirit of the film is that mountaineering embodies the adventurous spirit of human beings for their own survival and development and the continuous exploration of the future. This spirit is without nation, region, and country. The difference belongs to all mankind. It is in the same line with the spirit of mankind landing on the moon and exploring the universe. The exploration is endless, always on the road. Zhong Chengxiang, chairman of the China Literature and Art Critics Association, said that "The Climber" is a feasible experience that pursues Chinese spirit, Chinese style, and Chinese style. The spiritual production must also allocate resources and discover the spiritual value of resources.
"The centralized screening of three domestic blockbuster films on the National Day file effectively stimulated the patriotic passion of the Chinese nation. Therefore, we can find that this is not only achieved by organizing creation, but also by purifying the film appreciation environment. The cinema line must be in Under the leadership of the party, social benefits are put in the first place to realize the unification of social and economic benefits." Zhong Chengxiang said.
