As fas as meaning goes, the moment you try to understand it as a linear story with face value logic, you are done. That is not the point of the movie. This is much more, well, exactlly what it is, a story about relationship which is in trouble. Yes, it is about two people in trouble, one going deeper and deeper to his own internal hell, and the other following him there, loving him so much. 引自YouTube上的评论。
片子可以和荒野生存对照着看。Joe让我们有幸看到生命蕴藏的力量多么让人惊叹,而他独自面对生命的那些感悟是最有价值的。差点在狗M的歌中死去那段很迷幻,cos的人时而迸发的英式无厘头则有点不伦不类。电影原著是Joe为了鼓励满怀愧疚的Simon而写下的Touching the Void,一世独尊鼓励他继续热爱登山事业,可谓生死之交~
