What is a movie, MERU?
The complete climb of Sharksfin on the Himalayan Meru peak, which can be said to be the pinnacle of big wall climbing, is considered to be the highest reward for elite climbers.Overlooking the sacred Gandhi River in North India, this mountain, which rises at an altitude of 6,500m, is a nightmare mountain for many climbers due to its improbable obstacles, and on the other hand, it is the most impregnable mountain in the world that cannot be helped. It's a wall. In October 2008, prominent alpinists, Conrad Anker, Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk challenged the Meru Peak Direct Route.The tour, which was originally planned for 10 days, turned out to be a big challenge that more than doubled the number of days. "MERU" is a magnificent human being who witnesses the overwhelming threat of nature, listens to his inner voice, overcomes it, and overcomes the height that is said to be impossible, both mentally and physically. It is a life odyssey.
■ Valuable climbing record that professional climbers also pay close attention to
Jimmy Chin, the director of the film, who produced, produced, and filmed, is one of the few photographers and documentary filmmakers who has succeeded in balancing art and adventure in his career.As a National Geographic photographer, he has continued to shoot in Yosemite, the sanctuary of climbing, while also taking on many challenges to become the breakthrough of the world's top athletes.He is also one of the few skiers to ski downhill from the summit of Mount Everest.This work is a video of the harsh process of climbing the peak of Meru, taken by only two small cameras.The details of confronting the impregnable wall are of great value as a mountain record, as professional climbers pay attention to.
■ A meditative documentary that faces the "human beings" within you
Through the three climbers Conrad Anker, Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk, and Conrad's wife Jennifer Lowe-Anker, under the "human relations" nurtured in the ultimate environment. It is a spiritual meditation related to the "decision" that is pressed between life and death.By re-experiencing the challenges of men who challenge Meru Chuomine Sharks Finn, who has been rejecting many top climbers, everyone is forced to face the "human beings" in themselves. It is a meditation documentary that asks "what is a challenge?" And "what is a passion?" In your life.Open to the public on New Year's Eve.It's not just a mountain movie, it's a masterpiece of scale and meditative things, and the men's outlook on life, which is sharpened in an extreme environment, will inspire the challenge spirits of many people entering the new year.
