Movie Reviews of Touching the Void
Movie Review: An amazing story
Summary: 5 Stars
Two young men in their early 20s decide to go hike the mountains in Peru. One breaks his leg. Actually, it sounds worse than just "breaking a leg" when you listen to the narrative. Simon left thinking, for good reasons, that Joe was dead. So Joe had to climb down a mountain with this bad leg. Joe thought he wouldn't make it back home and understandably so. This is mountain climbers lore now and Simon who left thinking Joe was dead is ridiculed for it but Joe defends him. What friendship! Fascinating film. If you choose to watch, you will not be disappointed. Plus some beautiful mountain scenery.Movie Review: A must have DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
A really inspiring story.
I receommend this DVD not just for real story and insipring struggle for survival, but for the fact that everyone of us in our life have up and down times. In many instances we tend to get depressed and get low key even on small failures and setbacks. At those precise movements this DVD can electrify you spirit that we mortal men have unlimited capicity to create IMMORTAL MEMORIES OF INSPIRATION!
DVD is very well made. My only gripe is at 3/4ths of movie, it could feel little dragging, but the end fills up the lost time.
Go get it!
Movie Review: Amazing twists
Summary: 5 Stars
As someone who has little interest in mountain climbing I have to say this doesn't help my desire. I would love to Bungee jump or jump out of plane with a parachute but not mountain-climbing. However, the level of climbing in this movie is expert so maybe hill climbing would be better for my sense of adventure. The best part about this movie is you can't guess what will happen next. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. As an ex-military guy who was on a special team of rescue swimmers I can say I too never called on any god when in trouble. It just never occured to me.Movie Review: Excellent movie, interesting format
Summary: 5 Stars
This is without a doubt the best climbing film I have seen. It is realistic and vividly and honestly shows the emotional state of the climbers thoughout. Joe and Simon seem to have no problem making very un-flattering statements about how they felt and what decisions they made.
This is no hollywood film ... the experience just isn't something you could make up - but the production values are still first notch and the 'alternating narrative and reenactment' format really reminds you that these are real people and this is truely what they went through.
Movie Review: Extremely Inspirational
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm reading a book right now about extreme athletes (Explorers of the Infinite by Maria Coffey) which led me to this movie. I was blown away, I haven't read Touching the Void the book yet, but this movie is well worth a viewing. Although I've never done mountaineering yet, I have gone 2 months without sleep before, and I can verify that this movie depicted that area of experience very very well, I was impressed. It's very inspirational too keep making decisions whether right or wrong, remindful make a decision and push forward. Recommended.
