Touching the Void
This movie blew me right off my sock ........ Its a story of two young gun climbers and their perilous journey up the west face of Siula Grande in 1985, a feat which was never been successfully attempted before. To begin with its a documentary, but shot with proper cinematic camera, which gives it a proper cinema feel. This movie is true to the absolute reality of mountain climbing and shows you something which at least for me had never been witnessed in any Hollywood movie on mountain climbing. (Though I admit I have not seen much). The gruesome journey has been so truthfully and emotionally described by these two climbers and meticulously performed by the two actors in this film. The plot itself is surrounded in situations dipped in moral dilemma of decisions made at the verge of death and despair. With that as the movie progresses, it get even more gripping, makes you ask is this sport really worth, but I guess it must be for these climbers, else why would they even attemp something like this. Cinematography is breathtaking. All emotions runs full on when the movie comes to an end. I was totally taken in to the movie .
