Je to naprosto úžasné a miluji to, ten film zaujal i moje rodiče. Ten vizuál, scénář ale i ty argumenty a myšlenka filmu jsou naprosto úžasné. Asi nejlepší anime co jsem zatím viděl 10/10
Saw this movie for the first time last night. Absolutely loved it from its story to its visuals. But something I really liked that this film did, was how expertly it handled showing vs telling and how it used that to create its characters the most. Habu comes off as a independent, selfish man. The things he says reinforce this. He repeatedly states how if his partner falls, he wouldn’t hesitate to cut the rope. He says it cold and to the point, yeah it’s harsh and he backs it by the cruel reality of logic that it’s better to let one man die than have them both die. YET, both times someone is stuck on the mountain, Habu does what he can to save them. Habu never cuts the rope, he never leaves someone behind. Actions speak louder than words, and they speak loudest when they contradict those words.
I'm just novice mountaineer with my climbs limited mostly to the Sierra Nevada and my achievements are modest, but this film absolutely captures the spirit of why people climb at all. Chasing the existential high. I can't speak for all climbers, but climbing for me is a way to express that I am "alive" to a cold & uncaring universe, that I was here and I tried. It really makes you appreciate just being alive and what little time you have left on this tiny little rock we call Earth. Again, I'm just a humble novice, but people like Habu in the film really do exist and I can completely see someone getting sucked into climbing to the point of obsession. For climbers like Habu, climbing is breathing, to stop would be to die. They will try to cast aside everything for the chase and come off as incredibly selfish people, but they have a burning fire within them that they just can't stop.
I absolutely love the movie, saw it twice in cinemas last year. I grew up reading the manga, coming from one of the major towns in the Alps, where mountains are omnipresent. The five volumes of the manga are one of my very favourite pieces of fiction, all genres and media considered. The plot was here massively simplified, obviously, to make five long volumes fit into two hours of animation, but it got a lot of things exactly right, as far as the feel goes. It is, overall, an excellent adaptation. Watching it in cinemas for the first time, I could see all the choices that have been made by the people who adapted the scenario, and I understand them all, see where they're coming from and what they aim for. There is one, however, that I think somewhat changes Habu as a character (though manga Habu and movie Habu are a bit different, same for Fukamachi), and that is his death. I almost felt betrayed on his behalf the first time I watched it, it genuinely distraught me and it took me a few days to work through those feelings. After rescuing Fukamachi, and sending him down, he indeed makes it to the top, and doesn't come back down. Fukamachi waits and waits and waits, and eventually leaves their base camp and returns to Japan. There he tries to go back to a normal life, and just.... he just can't. He doesn't have closure on the whole thing, has mountain fever himself, and his partner (actually the big sister of the boy who died climbing with Habu, she has a much bigger role) encourages him to go back, and makes him see he won't be able to live with himself if he doesn't go back to the Himalayas. He does, and ends up summiting the Everest solo as well (a feat in and of itself, not to be forgotten, especially for someone who is "simply" a mountain photographer. There, on his way back, as he is lost and about to give up and let himself die, he finds Irvine's body, just like Habu had once told him he had found it, lost in a storm. The body people have been looking for for decades, in the backpack of which Habu had found the camera. And by that body is Habu himself. After completing the climb of his life, he walked down to Irvine, sat down and never got back up. Finding them saves Fukamachi's life, as Habu had chocolate and nuts in his pockets, which allow Fukamachi to gather strength once more to get himself down to safety. Before leaving Irvine and Habu, he checks Irvine's backpack, and sure enough, there is the film. I felt that the place they show Habu as having died in the movie does him a bit dirty. In the book, his insane strength and willpower carry him to a place of relative shelter, the same one Irvine had looked for, and *then* dies. And I found the fact he just gave the film to Fukamachi a bit easy. That solo climb at the end of book 5 is immensely important for him, and he gets to find the film only *after* he has realised a number of things for himself about climbing. All in all, it's still an amazing movie, and a great adaptation that really did justice to the original material.
I saw the animated version of the manga last night, I was looking for reviews. The film was ok for me, not as good as I thought it would be. I guess it’s hard to reduce a 5 volumes story into an hour and a half movie. As for the representation of Japanese characters I’m a bit puzzled by the fact that all have Causians features. And not only in this manga but also in Japanese animation films... Backgrounds, for the mountains, are marvelously done.
Have you watched this movie? What are your general thoughts? I would love to know!
I loved it! I wonder how it didn't get nominated for an Oscar

It was beautiful. Though I was confused at some parts, this felt like a documentary thats more than an hour and 35 mins
This is the type of movie I have been longing for a while, a tragic hero with self imposed suffering.. a true noir character
It broke me

That's called the Noir hero trope.. action vs intention
