I've watched everything I can find about this expedition, and this is the first time I've seen the letter that Jan got from the Sherpas. It made me emotional seeing their kindness.
MrBucketlist, I feel the same way. I spent my childhood climbing 13,000 ft mountains near my hometown in Colorado like they were beasts I had to slay! Never did I think I’d be so obsessed with this gripping, tear jerking REAL story of tragedy and perseverance. Kudos to the ENTIRE movie, especially Mr. Brashears and the real hero’s; THE SHERPAS AND PORTERS. I’d ABSOLUTELY LOVE to be on this adventure, if not to climb Everest but to take in the friendship and great time of the walk to base camp and to help from base camp!
This story was so well done. They were able to draw you into the experiences these people were going through. And though I know the outcome, I always find myself rooting for them to succeed and to get back down the mountain.
I saw the movie for the 1st time last week after watching the original documentaries on it and they were spot on based on that. Seeing what must have happened and their last moments on Everest. It's very eerie but well done.
hope you are going to pay/tip your sherpas well (not just the expedition company that takes advantage of the sherpas) for their skills and them risking their lives to help you reach the top.
@@yannachka I have learned the result of not taking care of the Sherpas. I remember hearing about a time people only tipped them something like $2-$3 per bag where on average they get something like $12-$15. I am not sure how recent this is though but those Sherpas are the ones who will be risking their lives to help me achieve a life-long dream, I am planning on making sure my "tip" is life-changing for them as well.
Many Indonesians have also learned a lot about the disaster that took place in Mt. Everest in 1996. Fortunately, the following year, a small team of climbers from the Indonesian Special Force (Kopassus) was able to reach the summit of Mt. Everest in spite of the fact that they are from a tropical country.
One of my 2 favourite films of all time. Touching The Void and Everest... Being a Yorkshire lad i've had the pleasure of meeting Joe Simpson on the crags. Proper down to earth bloke with HUGE insight.
This movie was so hard to sit through 😭 I had to take a break for a whole day and night because I was not brave enough to watch all of it in one sitting.
Para mí ,estos hombres son muy valientes ,aventureros ,y buscadores de la belleza de la naturaleza ,y también buscadores de la espiritualidad ,y muchos han dado su vida por ello
I seriously couldn't do this if I were an actor, it would only be great for the experience, I love watching stuff about Everest and most climbing stuff across the world, including cave diving & discovering new places but, on no circumstances could I adventure into the unknown.
Don’t get me wrong, I really liked this movie, it shows how much work went into it. But I keep thinking that they all talk about how difficult it was, the harsh conditions, but they do not talk about people, who live there, who do this for living and stuff like that. So I wished they talked about that more and supported communities there instead of filming a movie, talking how difficult it was and leaving.
Expeditionen sind etwas anderes per Definition. Das waren und sind Wanderungen von Massen von Menschen, die Geld haben und ein riesengroßes Ego. Und ohne Sherpas würde keiner von diesen Klettertouristen die Bergspitze erreichen. Ein Besuch beim Psychiater hätte ihr Leben retten können. Aber Narzisten zu behandeln ist fast unmöglich. Die armen Angehörigen und ein verdreckter, ehemalig majestätischer Berg, sind das einzige was bleibt.
I originally asked the following question before I read the movie plot. Was the film told from the "Into Thin Air" perspective of Krakauer or from the "The Climb" perspective of Anatoli Boukreev or did the writers, producers, and director try to find the truth in the midst of those two perspectives plus others? I've read both books, and I suspect that the real truth is somewhere in the middle. I believe a movie was made back in the 90's and that they tried to make everything from the Krakauer perspective. I never saw that movie. I then read the plot of this movie in the video notes. Apparently, the person writing the plot didn't read either book because many of the details are wrong. For instance, Rob Hall did not tell Beck Weathers to return to base camp. No one was talking about returning to base camp. The first goal was just to return to Camp IV. Rob and Beck had agreed that Beck would wait until Rob returned so that Rob could lead him back to Camp IV. Both books seem to agree on that point. Several people offered to help Beck back to Camp IV, and if Beck had gone with them instead of waiting for Rob Hall, he would have been safely in his tent before the storm hit. He wouldn't have been stuck on the mountain, and the other climbers returning through the storm might have moved more quickly without having to help a man who was blinded and cold from sitting in the death zone for hours. That Rob Hall ordered Doug Hansen to go down the mountain just short of the summit is not certain. Many accounts say that Rob took the chance of helping Doug towards the summit long after the turnaround time because he didn't want Doug to miss his last chance to summit. I'm sure that Doug wanted to continue, but the idea that Rob Hall insisted that he return has not been part of the narrative as told by anyone whose accounts I've read. I don't remember anyone absolutely knowing that Andy Harris reached Rob Hall with oxygen. I've never heard that Andy Harris absolutely hallucinated, stripped out of his outer clothing, and fell to his death. Maybe someone has found his clothing up there and can surmise that sequence of events, but no one on the original climb told that story at the beginning. No one who was up there survived. Anatoli Boukreev didn't find Scott Fischer's body until another climb during a different climbing season. Anatoli had controversially come back to Camp IV ahead of the clients. As a result, he was rested enough to make several rescue attempts. He rescued the people who had been huddled with Beck and Yasuko Namba. I think he tried to reach Scott, but he couldn't. Beck wasn't rescued from Camp IV as the plot description suggests. He had to descend with help to about Camp II before he was low enough for the helicopter to reach him. The movie looked interesting until I read that description of the plot and realized how many details the movie apparently gets wrong.
The actors are the real heroes here - the way they persevere through momentary, slight discomfort, all the while imagining how the real people must've felt. (Don't mind me. I did love the movie.)
In to thin Air 1997 movie I think was far more realistic to the real people. This new one seams to be only worried about how Mt Everest looks on film and IMO portrays certain people in a good light and certain people in a bad light. There was a Jab at Jon Krakauer, he had been asked to go help find the lost climbers ,Beck Weathers and refused bc he didn't want to die. I am not buying that line of the story at all. He wrote the book In to thin Air that was made into the 1997 movie. The New movie didn't talk about how that stupid social lite had to have all her stupid stuff brought up the mountain, causing the Sherpa to be to tired to place the fix ropes for the summit climb. That Imo caused both groups to run late. I just watch both movies today. 1997 movie looked very real and gritty. 2015 look to pretty, and not in a good way. I think climbing Mt Everest is a crazy thing to do, these days .I just seen a picture of what looked like 50 people waiting in a que to get to the summit. This is very dangerous. This is not climbing, bc we all know the Sherpas do all of the fix lines and ladders all the real dangerous stuff. So the Money people don't have to do anything but take a picture at the summit. Rip to all the Climbers that have pass on Mt Everest.
I understand that the making of this movie provided employment for the locals, but on the flip side, it must have profoundly disturbed the peaceful, unadulterated land and culture. Imagine 200 helicopter trips!
I've watched the movie and I thought that was really shitty acting honestly. The breathing and talking at altitudes are just different! One can see the efforts with CGI which is appreciable but the acting ... Sorry
I think the movie was a major disappointment. The casting could have been better, and there were some inaccuracies. I much preferred the 3D IMAX production.
Yes, things could have been added or changed, but a lot of it was for dramatic effect. This movie is my second favourite telling of this story. My favourite is Beck Weathers’ presentation.
I've watched everything I can find about this expedition, and this is the first time I've seen the letter that Jan got from the Sherpas. It made me emotional seeing their kindness.
Thank-you for this. Im obsessed with the expedition.
Glad you enjoyed it!

I have been saving for 3 years to climb Everest, if all goes planned, I will be on Mt Everest in 2023. I am so excited and scared at the same time,
hope you are going to pay/tip your sherpas well (not just the expedition company that takes advantage of the sherpas) for their skills and them risking their lives to help you reach the top.

Wish you all the best and hope you return with a lot of good memories!
I am hoping to do the trek to base camp in the future. Ascending the mountain is too expensive for me

I love this movie! Very well made and faithful to the story
Josh Brolin has told so many incredible people's stories... He is a world class actor.
Crazy to think he was in The Goonies. My favourite film from being a kid.
@@mikematthews7018 Crazy to think he was in The Avengers too...

The movie was really well done!
Loved this movie could watch again after I finish watching it for the third time.
A fantastic movie. Lots of great actors.
The book Into Thin Air about this is my favourite book. Going to read it again this year. So good...
It's so good!
I thought that book was about the young man, Chris.......or am I thinking of something else? Serious question 🥴
@@courtneygooden9609 Thats into the wild I think. Same author though!!
@@iainbrewin thankyou, I think I’ll read both since I only hear good reviews
I have seen the movie many times.
It’s so Well done🤗🇸🇪
Beautifully told story
Glad you liked it
Great movie, after watching it. It makes me want to summit everest in this lifetime.
Thank you so much for this. Whatched the movie a several times and always asked myself: How did they do this?
I just bought this movie. It's really quite good.
This was a nice behind the scenes 😢
Great movie. Thrilling, exhilarating, and heart-wrenching sadness.
This movie was so hard to sit through 😭 I had to take a break for a whole day and night because I was not brave enough to watch all of it in one sitting.
the best movie I've ever seen
Great movie. Great actors. Great team. RIP Rob and all the others who lost their lives 1996 !!! 😪 RIP all the others since 1924 !!!
I love this movie 🙏

“The sherpas having to dig us out, yet we persevered” lmao yes it sounds like quite the struggle for the westerners
HEY! It was extremely traumatizing for us westerners having to watch them dig out the set! 😢
Damn! Rob Hall sure left a stunner of a daughter behind!
I've watched the movie several times, many documentaries, I still get misty listening to Beck Weathers...

Its about the story of the climbers and the mountain, not specifically about the community. There’s a difference.
@@jaiofalltrades2032 well, you have a point.
Read the book in one sitting movie did it justice
Jon said it was his biggest regret going on a guided expedition.

It’s a movie, not a documentary.
In this movie, Beck was rescued from Camp II, which is correct.
Its pretty safe to assume that Andy stripped off his clothing as that is a very common occurence for people suffering from hypothermia to do
Sherpas?
What about them?
@@coryCuc More recognition ought to be given to the Sherpas. My humble opinion.
a brilliant play but after i watched a film from 90* called "K2" its this one i like more....btw. i like thouse old cinema hollywood

Jan is a Tina Fey look-alike!
Did rob hall die?
YOU CAN BET A MOVIE IS MADE ABOUT EVEREST !! AND THEY WILL BEEF IT UP
One of the easiest mountain to summit! Refer to Traffic jam Pic of the summit! You don't see that on K-2 or Annapurna or Nanga Purbat.
I wish they interviewed the sherpas
It's called Himalaya not Hiimmalayas☹

Agree the movie stunk. And I didn’t have to watch it to know it did. 😁
I think the movie was a major disappointment. The casting could have been better, and there were some inaccuracies.
I much preferred the 3D IMAX production.
The casting was amazing and the cinematography is the best in a movie ever. Amazing movie
Absolutely loved the movie and thought the casting and cinematography was spot on.
Yes, things could have been added or changed, but a lot of it was for dramatic effect. This movie is my second favourite telling of this story. My favourite is Beck Weathers’ presentation.
Worst show ever
