What do you think of the best documentary Oscar for extreme athletes' unarmed climbing in the movie "Freehand Climbing"?

I think as a documentary, the film is worth watching because of its authenticity, no fictional storyline, no superb special effects, and not even too many gorgeous scene scheduling and color scheduling, as long as the integrity of the film events is truly restored. After all, the challenge of climbing Emirates Rock with bare hands is the highlight of the film. The first half of the film mainly records some preparations made before challenging Emirates Rock and the protagonist's life and emotional situation.

The second half of the film enters the core climax stage, that is, Alex's formal unarmed climbing process. The film captures the picture from many angles, showing several key points in rock climbing, which is also the most dangerous position. How Alex successfully completed the whole process can be described as thrilling and sweating, which is also the most exciting part of the film. Shooting the whole climbing process is also a major difficulty in the film. How to record Alex's climbing process perfectly and how not to affect Alex's climbing is the most important thing that the photography team needs to consider.

The photography team specially found people who know both rock climbing and photography, and fixed them on the rock walls in different positions of Emirates Rock with safety ropes. At the same time, cameras were installed on some key lines of the rock wall. At the same time, both of them should make sure that Alex's climbing is not affected. On the ground, film cameras and telephoto lenses are mainly used to capture Alex's climbing process in different positions. Thanks to the careful preparation of these photography teams and directors, the whole documentary can be presented perfectly. Of course, Alex, the protagonist of the documentary, is the most important part of the film.

Emirates Rock, which is 3000 feet high, is considered as the most difficult mountain to climb in the world. It is difficult to find reliable support points for boulders and smooth and steep rock walls. Even if there is a safety rope, it is difficult to complete all the climbing, let alone climbing with bare hands. Before Alex, no one had climbed Emirates Rock with his bare hands, which was a fatal thing.

But it is such a challenging rock peak that has become Alex's dream of conquest in recent years. Before the formal freehand climbing, Alex climbed the main rock countless times with ropes, insisted on training, chose the best climbing route, and remembered the movements of each key position to ensure smooth passage. In addition to Emirates Rock, Alex has climbed thousands of feet of Moonlight Cliff, Zion National Park in Utah and Yosemite's 2,000-and-a-half-foot dome with his bare hands before, and each time it was a very difficult challenge.

Freehand rock climbing is a life-and-death extreme sport. When you decide to start, there is no turning back. Climbers need to overcome their inner fears, and they need a high degree of concentration and strong physical strength and perseverance. As long as one link is not careful, it will be beyond redemption. But this is Alex's only interest. Every time he conquers a mountain, he will have a sense of accomplishment. Maybe this is the meaning of his life. People will only fear life when facing life and death.
