Can anyone explain that? I mean removing the people from the actual footage seems a lot of work for what?

    Great movie but but the summit sequence is highly problematic, as it does not show the Canadians Alik Berg and Quentin Roberts reaching the summit at the same time via a different route. They seem to be ‘erased’ from the image, even though they appear at the same precise spot in the pics of the expedition report.🤔

    • @REELROCK1
      @REELROCK1 26 дней назад +32

      Hi, it's the filmmakers from Reel Rock. Quentin and Alik's climb was incredible - it was honored with the Piolet D'or and deserves to be told as its own story. But for the story we set out to tell, of Josh and Vince's deeply personal, multi-year journey on Jirishanca, seeing an additional climber on the summit, who was only visible from some angles and not from others, during the emotional climax of the movie, was very distracting. It would have required a lot of explanation and new information about who he was and how he got there, during the last 30 seconds of the movie. So we made the creative decision to avoid showing Alik on the summit. We can see how some people might object to that decision, but as storytellers we are constantly making choices about what to include or omit as it's impossible to follow every thread. Certainly no disrespect to Quentin and Alik! We recommend reading their great write-up about their climb from the American Alpine Journal: publications.americanalpineclub.org/articles/13201216702

      ​@@REELROCK1 There are clear guidelines for ethical documentary film-making. Not cutting dialogue mid-sentence to change its meaning, using footage out of context, using cuts/juxtaposition to falsely imply simultaneity or the perception of cause and effect, selective omission to change the narrative etc. etc.
      If that scene was causing confusion then a couple of those shots could have been removed from the final cut. That's an editorial choice. A tough choice to make, ethically, because it tells a different story. It simplifies the story, yes, but it also makes the mountain seem more remote, more badass. It puts the climbers alone on the pedestal, which is ironic after Josh's remarks earlier in the film.
      Deciding to use the footage anyway but remove the climbers is a bit different. That's not editorial anymore, that's completely removing the guarantee that the audience is viewing real footage. It goes beyond even the common case in the climbing media of passing a re-enactment off as footage of the original ascent.
      Altering images brings everything into question. Was anything else justifiably altered to look more badass? Were anchors edited out? Were cameramen edited out? Did seeing a helicopter confuse viewers? If we don't have the guarantee that we're looking at real documentary footage, then there's no guarantee that anything is real.

      @@REELROCK1think that you have possibly got your priorities wrong. They didn’t do the climb so you can make a beautiful movie. You’re making a beautiful movie in order to document their climb.
      Your core audience are all established climbers / mountaineers - doesn’t it slightly insult their intelligence to suggest that a minor disctraction in the form of objective reality would undermine the project of documenting that reality?
      You’re film making is a creative project which must remain secondary to its aim as a document. You have placed your own aims and intentions as film makers at the pinnacle of your priority list which has enabled you to feel you can justify digitally altering out objective fact because it compromises your vision or what artistic integrity means in this context.

    Like special Forces guys who've smoked a joint, Josh and Vince navigate through situations any mortal would find traumatising with an awareness that only comes from a person who's searched the soul. Being so close to the edge only seems to remind them they are alive. Toying with death means they control it. We all need to cope with death in some way, many avoid the idea, but some fight it; and in doing so grow as people. I was particularly impressed with the decision to back off when they knew it was too close, they are committed to their families, the greater cause for their lives, above all else. Yet this is more than two guys climbing a rock, it is an exploration and an expression of man's need to face mortality and suffering to overcome it. In this way, what they are doing is art, creative expressions of the soul to explore something meaningful and helpful. The filmmaking is equally as artistic and significant to the cause. I'm blown away at the capturing of these fascinating personalities, the history, even trauma, that drives the behaviour, juxtaposition of the dying mountain environment with the sense of overcoming, it is sensationalised but it needs to be. These feats and these movies are more than just glorified adverts on social media, they are creative expressions of people who are toying with deeply important existential issues and coming through it with insight that us viewers can harness to direct our own lives in the face of the same existential issues. So thanks for doing, creating and sharing, it means a lot.

      Probably some downclimbing where the terrain warrants it. A threads and snow bollards as much as possible, then you sling boulders where it's just rock. Worst comes to worst you start rapping off pitons, nuts and cams.
      Some footage of the descent would've been interesting.

    • @patagonia
      @patagonia  Месяц назад +1

      Great question! In article written for the American Alpine Club, Vince recounts their descent route, "Many of the traversing pitches Josh and I had climbed on the way up had to be reclimbed, which made for slow going. It got dark quite quickly, further complicating route-finding. Tired, but cautious, Josh and I slowly made 12 to 14 awkward rappels back to our bivy, dealing with a few fatigue-induced route-finding errors and some seriously tangled ropes."
      You can read the rest of the article, Buena Suerte: The First Free Ascent of Jirishanca's Southeast Face, on The American Alpine Club Publications, or listen to their episode of The Cutting Edge Podcast, Vince Anderson and Josh Wharton on Jirishanca.
