Psycho Vertical (2017)
Not nearly as good as the book
The book is nothing short of a masterpiece. I do not feel that this movie captured what the book delivered. Maybe it was to rushed? 1 hour feels really short when tackling such a complex subject matter as the mind of Kirkpatrick. It follows the narrative of the book but it leaps over some of his biggest struggles and biggest victories. But I will say this, it is not your average climbing movie. It dwelves into the mind of a climber in a new sort of way with a focus on brutal honesty.
It is just amazing to see this guy climb, so if nothing else. Thats enough reason too watch it. Highly recommended.
Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)
Worse than Jar Jar
They did not only rape Luke Skywalker,
They also raped the entire Star Wars universe.
And my childhood :(
Touching the Void (2003)
I strongly recommend this movie to everyone.
I originally wrote this review in Swedish so I hope the translation holds out.
Yesterday I saw one of the most amazing documentaries I have ever seen about two mountaineers who defeats a summit in the Andie's in the mid-80's which still stands undefeated by anyone else. And they almost die trying. Even if you are not as fascinated by mountaineering as I am the film still tells one of the most incredible survival scenarios I have heard of in my life. At the same time during the horror of immediate death some of the most amazing thoughts on all kinds of life questions are running through the climbers mind. Especially fascinating is Joe's take on religion while about to perish in of the most hellish situations I can think of.
I strongly recommend this movie to everyone.
