I would add Elizabeth to the list of the self absorbed. Alex risked his life, Jimmy did all of the dangerous, awesome wall shooting and she just made an on the ground soap opera.
Alot of actors have charities, and foundations that help people, and improve the world. Maybe you shouldn't project so much negativity onto these people. They aren't the financial elite. They don't have billions of dollars, and factories across the world. They basicall get paid like a good pro athlete would.
To be fair, a lot of Hollywood are not self absorbed hypocrites. Being both a climber and someone that once worked in the entertainment industry, a lot of "those people" are very down to earth, good humans. Media are the one's hyping shit up a lot of the time.
Alex was barely acknowledged in the acceptance speech. He achieved something remarkable that no human has done before. The film would not have happened without him. He should have gotten more than a nod in the speech.
@@anthonyx3576 I don't know man, in the acceptance she said the film would have been boring had it not been for Alex's GF. What an insult to his accomplishment.
Chens wife has some snappy undertones... Maybe its me. I mean I have seen a bunch of interviews and speaking events with Alex and knew before i clicked i wanted to see every interaction with him at the oscars.. Priceless. Love him and Chen.
As much as the movie is about him and his incredible feat, it was also about his journey which started some 8 years back. Which made the audience more glued to the doc. The feat, itself is monumental, No one's taking that away from him, but to capture what person he was, what went through to achieve that and document it such craft is what filmography is about. So 10/10 for me.
If he would have fallen off that mountain there would be a mangled dismembered body at the bottom. I doubt you could fit him in to a tuxedo after that.
Sent the Oscar's just like El Cap. Way to go! Now bring home the trophy to Yosemite for all the climbers to see. One more token of climbings greatest solo feat in history so far. ✊😑👌
@@Jj-gi2uv to add to your point, Jimmy and Alex have also been great friends and worked together for over 10 years. I think maybe Jimmy wanted to thank everyone else that worked on the film since he's probably eternally thanked Alex. Still odd he did it last though
JCO2002 Jimmy is a climber and had known Alex for ten years. Chai is his wife. And they wanted to make a doc about him before anyone even knew he was going to do this climb. No one used anyone.
@@lukasabubeker9453 I'm well aware of who they are. I'm also well aware that Chai ignored Alex during her speech to advance her "progressive" agenda. I'd like to see her haul her fat ass up El Cap. Did you even watch the doc? I can post a magnet link if you haven't. Having Chai state it would have been boring without that parasite gf involved is total bullshit.
@@TripleBWow Hogwash. Why did she say it would have been boring without the parasite girlfriend? The idiot dropped him while belaying! She injured him with her incompetence! And then she gets the credit? A total fucking disgrace.
This was a movie about a climber not about a climb, the climb is the pinnacle of the movie but not the point of it, let's face it the reason why this movie was indicted to the Oscar's is because it's a documentary on Alex life and relationships first and because it does have an amazing fit of athleticism as the high point, if they had made a 1 hour climb footage the movie would have made 12 bucks, and a couple climbing aficionados would be elated, but the general public most likely would be bored as fuck. Great movie, it did deserved the win, and it will introduce way more people to climbing than any technical movie would ever be able to.
It's absolutely propelled by the grandeur of his achievement and what it required. Had it been about climbing Everest, it wouldn't have been nominated even. The documentaries about Reinhold Messner would all be nominated if it was about giving insight into the life of climbers. They gave more screentime to his girlfriend than the actual achievement, which is just sad.
@@lucifer2133 And that's why it was nominated and won , I like climbing, I can watch 2 hours of Alex climbing, I don't know a single other person in my life that could say the same, the movie won the Oscar because people went to watch it, the climb is what attracted people because it seems like insanity, but very few people can sit trough 2 hours of non stop climbing, and it would be a pretty shitty documentary for everyone but climbers, that's the point, 10 minutes of climbing is more than enough to leave a good impression of the feat, without completely alienating everyone that is not a climber.
Exactly! I'm amazed at the amount of people missing this point. No one outside of the climbing community is going to watch this if it's just raw footage of the climb. People want context and storytelling, and the 30-minute, all-climb-no-context documentary format doesn't work for feature length-especially if it's not going straight to Netflix. Also the amount of hate Chai is getting 👀 I've never heard so many people say that a director has done 'nothing' on a film 🤔 very very unexpected and undeserved
I put up with listening to your climbing Jesus this woman has issues she would not be there if it wasn't for alex in the first place and then goes and thanks his girlfriend before alex .. it really grinds my gears then makes a big issues about women and people of colour Just thank national geographic for its diversity and opportunities for everyone and most importantly thank alex for allowing you to be in his journey. No instead you thank the women that just came into his life two years ago and say that it would have been boring without her. Wow! Just wow for been a director she doesn't have much of a vision here or at the Oscar's.
Alex not knowing who any of the famous people were and Chai only being excited about an obscure-ish costume designer while they're surrounded by celebrities speaks volumes about how deeply they're immersed in their respective crafts, climbing and film making.
I heard an urban legend there was actually some guy in-way out in like Southeastern Nebraska or something-who said he didn’t believe the facts that Alex Honnold’s thee raddest dude who ever breathed the air of planet earth (sometimes it’s so obvious the ones that are just randomly made up by someone)
OH! She beared through their talk about climbing! Man must have been tough to have the privilege to get famous off the back of the stupendous achievement of someone else. Man she's annoying...
Alex and Jimmy are true passionated and humble people.. the girl makes me nervous, bas speech and overact to take the scene, she d have let the boys speak !!!!
The bullshit acceptance speech, where they stressed the doc would be boring without his gold-digging girlfriend, was a disgrace. Let's see if any of the feministas involved can climb Freerider.
People are rating the climb, not the documentary. Here we have the most spectacular climb of all time, and one of the greatest achievements ever performed by a human being. And we get a documentary that is more about what feels like forced family drama and 10 minutes of the actual climb. I mean wtf!. Documentary 6/10, climb 10/10. This did not deserve to win.
They actually started the project as a documentary about Alex, then they heard he wanted to solo El Cap. I loved how they saved the climb for the last 20 minutes and used the rest of the film as a build up.
@@jm56787 i see. Well ok.. If i were them, i would then have put that first documentary on hold and then focus 100% on the climb. What i wanted to see in the cinema was at least 1 hour of insane footage of Alex hanging and moving about on that wall. Even though knew he made it to the top, i could not help but feel my stomach turn when i watched that.
It didn't feel forced to me. It felt real. The human drama of what Alex chose to do, why it was so important to him, and what affect it has on the people around him, is just as compelling to me as the climb itself. And I'm a climber, so I don't say that lightly.

Alex: "Who's Ruth Carter?"
Elizabeth: *explains*
Alex:"Oh."
Love that guy.
TheQuietOne75 Atleast he didn’t act like he knew who that was
ki0ng who’s blaming him? I literally said I love the guy. His honesty is refreshing.
TheQuietOne75 Ruth Carter is not well-known. So... I would say most people have never heard of her.
0:18 "I sit there while you guys have those conversations about BORING ass climbing and I get excited to talk about ACTUAL craft" -_-
@@getthegoods420 literally said nothing about it being boring lol
I wonder if Alex's heart rate went above five when they won.
they won? =D
Ha! Def not.
@@Bultish Yeah
I love how Alex knows only his craft! That's what makes him, HIM!
I like Alex's character. Humble and Determined, Such an inspiration
Real down to earth people surrounded by a bunch if self absorbed hypocrites.
You're talking about yourself.
I would add Elizabeth to the list of the self absorbed. Alex risked his life, Jimmy did all of the dangerous, awesome wall shooting and she just made an on the ground soap opera.

The only credible person in this circus
There were only two outcomes. Both included a tuxedo. Smart move North Face.
Lmfao me to that dam fly 😅

Such a well deserved Oscar! Cheers Alex!
I love the honesty of Alex
“It’s our mountain to climb” very well done
Alex is a living legend 💪🏼 best regards from a small german filmmaker 🇩🇪😂
Seeing Alex out of his element is always funny to see.

I don’t think Alex gets a trophy.
Alex = vey modest
Elizabeth = conceited and power hungry
Jimmy = scared
Alex should also be a director of Free Solo...
He directed his life, which is exactly what Free Solo is about.
ELIZABETH IS HATING ON ALEX BEING THE STAR!!! WHICH HE IS!!!!!
I wonder what your house is like.
@@Biomirth beautiful! thanks for creeping ya weirdo! hahahah
@@danieldrkness7489 I thought so.
Congratulation guys....your team deserve it...🍃🍃
Tell you what, your women Elizabeth loves the sound of her own voice.
Amen! She acts like it’s ALL about her.
Alex Honnold is a national treasure. Trump should invite the trio to the White House. Thanks to Jimmy and Elizabeth for presenting his story.
Honnold probably wouldn't go considering his views on national parks and climate change, but who knows
Happy for Jimmy Chin, he’s so talented he deserves this moment.
I can't believe these two thanked Alex as almost an after thought in their speech. Pathetic.

Elizabeth's acceptance speech was college course in Narcissism. Disgraceful.
She is rude to Alex.
does the woman know that she wasnt the one who climbed it
OH! She beared through their talk about climbing! Man must have been tough to have the privilege to get famous off the back of the stupendous achievement of someone else.

Alex looks like someones awkward younger brother who didn't want to go...

It must be hard to hold on a wall 3000ft above the ground with that heavy pair of balls
So much sweat. I was sweating so hard
