Like an educational comic your aunt gives you for your birthday.
A cartoon based on a manga based on a true story of Japanese mountain climbers and there you go, just like that you've already seen the movie.
It's not bad, it just made me remember Krakauer's book about death on Everest, 'Into Thin Air', is better.
Loved it! Make more of this stuff please!
The Summit of the Gods is a definite yes for me :white_check_mark: I've always been fascinated by French animation, and this one offered something different with a great message at the end, left me teary-eyed. The art/animation style and soundtrack are great. It features an old-fashioned camera (obscura?); at least I think it's a more compact camera obscura since I've been replaying a Fatal Frame game as of late. :camera: It also reminded me a bit of Cursed Mountain, the survival horror game on Wii, that I played and live-streamed on an old streaming site (Ustream) back when the game launched in 2009 and was among the first to upload gameplay footage of it (on YouTube). But yeah, this one pairs nicely with A Boy Called Christmas, both are on Netflix. There was also the 2015 Everest if you want more like this story and feel (in live-action) starring Jason Clarke, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Josh Brolin - the three J's! :sweat_smile: and the 2016 live-action take on the manga that this was based on called Everest: The Summit of the Gods :snow_capped_mountain:
Gorgeous movie. it brings atemporal lessons for us to take for all ever. I seriously recommend.
An incredible film about people who just wanna say they're simply built different

[Netflix] A gorgeous film that has remarkable technical quality, a beautiful music by Amine Bouhafa, and outstanding visual ideas. But it also contains difficult-to-answer questions about man's need to overcome his limits, the superhuman effort of wanting to reach the highest peaks. An exciting metaphor about the human being and the responsibility of achieving his dreams.
