This year's Spring Festival holiday may be the most homely time in the history of the Chinese people.
At present, it has become a general consensus not to visit, not to gather, and not to go out unless necessary. As a result, since the New Year, almost all attractions have been closed in response to government decisions, and a number of blockbusters known as "the strongest golden files in history" have also been withdrawn...
Are you, who are brushing up on anti-pneumonia news to anxiety, nesting in the sofa to panic, regret a trip that can't be made, and frustrated that the outdoor activities in your pocket list seem to be far away?
Don't worry, here are 10 "anti-depression films" for you. Across the screen, you can smell the purity of the polar glaciers, let the sun on Australia's west coast melt away the fears of the heart, or follow Jack Kerouac on a casual road trip.
As an outdoor person, the footsteps can be trapped, but the heart cannot stop on the road.
180° South (2010)
This is a historical presentation about two generations of outdoor people.
Climbing and surfing are two of the most beloved things in the life of American explorer Jeff Johnson. In 1968, Ivan and Doug drove a second-hand van south along the Pan-American Highway, surfing, skiing, and finally reaching Patagonia and climbing Fitzroy Peak. By chance, he saw a film clip of the trip of two predecessors to Patagonia and had the same idea.
Jeff then followed a sailing ship around half the world, successfully arrived in Patagonia, and climbed a snowy mountain with idols Ivan and Doug. In the process of exploring nature, he experienced the unparalleled joy of life, and also deeply realized that protecting nature is the mission of human beings.
The film is interspersed with stories about the conservation of Patagonia by doug Tompkins, founder of outdoor brand The North Face, and Ivan Joinnard, founder of Patagonia. Climb the old cannon and the new generation of climbers, from which to glimpse the endless life of the outdoors.
Yue: Ice Peak Rescue (2011)
A manga adaptation of the film about a mountain rescue team in the mountains of northern Japan. At first, I went to see Masami Nagasawa, but I didn't expect that in addition to the appearance, the film was also surprisingly good-looking. By the way, girls can look at Oguri Shun.
Douban's synopsis is that near Mount Okuho in the north, there is a rescue team led by captain Masato Noda (Kuranosuke Sasaki), and the former female police officer Jigami Shiina (Masami Nagasawa) is one of the members of the rescue team.
On her first day on the team, she catches up with a rescue operation and meets the optimistic and experienced mountaineer and amateur rescue team member Mitsufu Shimazaki (Shunsuke Oguri). With the help of Shimazaki and the team, Jigme continues to grow, accumulate experience, and realize the true meaning of life in the moment of life and death...
However, I think it is more important to learn from Japan's mountain rescue team system, which is similar to the fire brigade. I remember that a film starring Stallone, "The Wind of the Mountains", is also the story of the professional mountain rescue team. Whether it is the West or Japan, behind the developed mountaineering industry is a complete rescue system.
On The Road (2012)
The film is based on the autobiographical novel of the same name by American writer Jack Kerouac, which is enshrined as the Bible of the "Crossed Generation". Many people have read the novel, and the main plot will not be described here.
In fact, Jack Kerouac's On the Road is the source of the idea of a "backpack revolution." The main thrust of the backpacking revolution, freedom on the road, the pursuit of ideals, independence and rebellion, influenced an entire generation of Western youth in the 1960s.
After reading it, I don't feel deeply thinking, what is freedom? Freedom can be self-centered, but it is by no means synonymous with indulgence. I personally don't agree with the wandering skeletons and burning youth in the film, but the state of life of being on the road at any time, singing when traveling, and meditating when drunk is really desirable.
Ice Walk (2012)
The recent Australian wildfires have attracted the world's attention, and the reasons behind them ultimately boil down to the extreme climate caused by global warming (this is a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster). Still, some people question the veracity of global warming.
2012's Ice Journey confirms that global warming is real with solid evidence. The film chronicles National Geographic photographer James Barlogger's years-long expedition to arctic glaciers. At one point, Barlog was skeptical of global warming, but the expedition changed his mind.
Through his camera footage, we can see that The Glacier National Park and even the Arctic glaciers in the United States are melting at a speed visible to the naked eye. Those magnificent visual wonders bring us no longer shock, but soul torture.
When the use of crampons and ice axes is no longer for climbing, but for scientific research, the meaning of the outdoor is added to the layer.
Desert Camel (2013)
The film is based on Robin Davidson's autobiographical bestseller Trajectory. From Sydney, she embarked on a journey across australia's thousand-mile desert on her own, and finally arrived at the west coast of Australia.
As a literary independent film, the narrative rhythm of this film is somewhat slow, but Robin who is on the road alone can more or less reflect the shadow of you who is on the road alone.
The most memorable line of dialogue is:
I was so lonely.
- We are all.
Rise of the Valley (2014)
Compared with the popularity of "Dawn Wall" and "Unarmed Rock Climbing", this documentary about the history of Yosemite rock climbing is quite unpopular, and Douban has only been seen by more than 200 people, but this does not negate the excellence of this documentary.
For more than half a century, generations of climbers have performed countless legends on the large rock walls of Yosemite, and modern climbing technology has been perfected day by day. A history of Yosemite rock climbing, recording the persistence and success of human beings in "fighting" against the earth's gravity.
"Dawn Wall" and "Freehand Climbing" show more about the flesh and blood and life of climbers, and "Rise of the Valley" focuses on blood — not the thrill of blood, but the brave determination of "going up and doing it", as well as the memory of the deceased and the vision of the future of climbing.
Wild Beauty: National Park Adventure (2016)
Those who like the outdoors have some knowledge of American national parks. This documentary will give you a more comprehensive understanding of the national park.
The film takes the journey of an American climbing star Conrad Anker as a clue, connecting several major American national parks, of course, without the "every frame can be screenshotted as wallpaper" picture. While enjoying the magnificent scenery of the national park, the environmental protection concept behind it is worth exploring.
At the same time, national parks bring more than just a protected environment. When you see conrad and his companions free to hike, climb rocks, kayak, run trails, ice climb in the park... You will be sincerely envious.
The harmony between the outdoors and the environment is the main theme of this film.
Takayama (2017)
"People who can't hear music think people who dance are crazy." One sentence sets the tone of the film: What is mountaineering? Why climb? The intention is to "declare war" on those who do not understand mountaineering: why should those who do not climb the mountain think that the climber is crazy?
A Douban netizen commented: "Audio-visual documentary, not only aerial photography of mountains is so simple, with "mountain" as the proposition to express the awe of mountains and even climbers, avalanche volcanoes in the clouds and fog, day and night alternating speed scenes, into the extreme sports wonderful flash, people are dazzled." "Quite apt. (Tips: B station cooked meat)
Ps. There's also a shot of Alex Honnold in this film (as well as Rise of the Valley above), and this guy is so influential.
Leaves Without Marks (2018)
In a nature preserve in Portland, Oregon, tom and Will live. The peaceful life is shattered by the sudden whistle-blowing, and the two are expelled from the forest. Tom, the father with PTSD, is at a loss for modern life in the city and has nowhere to put his emotions, but his daughter Will is full of longing to return to the city. Should the father let go?
Family education, family bondage, there are many things in the film that make people think deeply. But from the perspective of the outdoors, the film is also exploring: how should we choose and balance outdoor and real life?
Extreme Escape (2019)
Personally, I think it's a better commercial film than The Climber. As a commercial film that combines rock climbing with disaster films, there is less patriotic feelings of "serving the country and the people" and more of the "truth, goodness and beauty" side of small people in the face of life and death choices. At the same time, the tense and stimulating rhythm and the relaxed soundtrack will definitely make you addicted after watching it.
"Freehand Rock Climbing" is exciting, this movie is more than enough.
The recommended films are limited to 10 films, but good outdoor movies are more than that. Leave the best outdoor movie in your heart in the message area, and send more spiritual supplies and comfort to the outdoor "homemakers" at this moment.
Finally, may the epidemic stabilize as soon as possible and everyone be safe and healthy. When we start again, we will go to the place in the film, to see the forest, the stars, the mountains and the sea.
