Thanks for watching this. As an alpinist it's one of my favorite movies, and it's a real shame it never got the recognition it deserved. On the off-chance you get the urge to watch another mountaineering film I would recommend Meru (2015).
Anyone interested by this film should definitely also look up the story of how Joe was brought to medical aid, which was quite an epic story in itself. The DVD special features also show how they were both brought back to the mountain for the first time since it happened, understandably causing Joe to basically have a PTSD flashback.
Wow, I never expected to see a reaction to this! Very cool.
Props to the person who requested this. Incredible story. The book is an awesome read also. Top stuff!
I've always tried to request more obscure movies that you don't see reactions to, and maybe a lot of people have never heard of, to help them get more traction.
Quite a few reviews of this one say that despite Joe Simpson being right there on camera telling his story, they were still wondering if he'd make it because it just seems so impossible. And definitely the best thing the film did is make absolutely clear that Simon had no choice but to cut the rope, as for nearly two decades he'd unfairly been a pariah in the mountain climbing community over it, despite Simpson himself always making clear that he fully understood it, and calling him "the man who saved my life."
Saw this years ago when it was first broadcast and then a few years later somebody uploaded it to CZcams and the comments section was very depressing, the most upvoted comments were people slating the guy who cut the rope while people with ACTUAL mountaineering experience trying to explain that it was the only option left.
That trend of people saying the most ignorant thing and people believing it never seems to go away.
My compliments to your Patron for recommending this as it's an amazing story that I will have to rewatch soon
I can't possibly understand anyone who can be angry at someone in a desperate situation like that. What do you expect him to do? There was no other option besides his own demise. People are truly narrow-minded.
@@OGBReacts Especially when the guy who cut the rope is staunchly defended by the one who fell. Saw him giving a talk at my local theatre. His story of not giving up despite knowing his camp mates probably wouldn’t be there is inspiring
One of the few documentaries I've ever watched more than once. It's so intense and fascinating. It's wild watching the story unfold and the whole time you know they survive because they're literally on camera talking about it but it just keeps getting more and more impossible. Really sucks you in.
Ryan is a KING for recommend this. I always wonder why reactors didn't showcase these types of films.
A straight up documentary may be hard, but reenactment docs CAN be awesome (also crappy).
THIS is certainly in the Awesome category.
Again, gg's Ryan.and ogb!
I am so incredibly excited to see this reaction. I've always thought stories like these are the pinnacle of human innovation, triumph and horror and seeing people react to it for the 1st time is a pleasure. Loved this! I totally get how intense films like this are, but if you can stand it may I humbly recommend Meru (2015) and Everest (2015). Two films I adored that happened to release that year. Mountain climbing stories are wild and really give you that icy thrill of adventure in the comfort of your home.
YES! First reactor I've seen do a documentary -- my favorite genre and one of my all-time favorite documentaries! True stories are often so much more interesting and stranger than fiction. (I remember that part of being close to death and having a song you don't like stuck in your head. Weird true details stick with you.)
Great reaction to this mind-blowing movie. I've always admired the courage & strength of mountaineers, but watching this movie opened my eyes to a new level of that kind of adventure! I appreciate all that you do and all that you are 🐝 Blessed Bee
Poor Sam. Your face when the guy talked about his leg going snap. Brutal.
I never even heard of this movie, but reading the description, it's based on a true story that happened. So, this sounds interesting.
I have a lot of respect for this channel, Sam. You watch everything no matter if it's extremely popular or very obscure. Been watching you since probably your 5th reaction and it's been so cool to watch your editing style get better and better.
I would love to see a reaction to Point Break (1991)
Thanks so much!! So glad to know this
I love the survivalist genre, and this one has always been at the top of that list.
Best story ever. I’ve watched it many times. I’ve met both of them and Simon is so funny. I’ve climbed all over the world myself.
My step dad was a mountain climber in his 20s and 30s, he did the 3 peaks, Ben Nevis, Snowdon and Scarfeld, and in 1963 climbed part of the K2 and found a human arm that had been ripped off via either a fall or avalanche he took it back to base camp but it started to thaw out ....it was a bit messy lol
Oh nOOOO
@@OGBReacts If I can find the news paper cutting that had the story in it I'll put it on my Instagram and tag you lol. I'm pretty sure my mum still has it in a scrap book.
My dad was really cool, he would take me and my brother to a rock climbing centre but we never actually climbed anything else, though I did want to do the 3 peaks to raise money for cancer research, but I haven't found anyone crazy enough to come with me plus, I might be a little too past it now
This is truly amazing and wild!! Thanks for sharing!
I have seen both this and another telling of it on some survival type show. I'm also an indoor person and would never, but I like these kinds of stories because they help me to cope with my own problems. No matter how bad things are I'm grateful to have a warm bed at least.
"Into Thin Air: Death on Everest" is a tv movie that's similar and I recommend the book by John Krakauer too for anyone interested in mountain climbing survival stories.
It was also made into the film Everest in 2015, with the likes of Jake Gyllenhal, Robin Wright, Josh Brolin, and Keira Knightley.
@@Rmlohner Well how in the heck did I miss that? Thanks for letting me know - definitely going to watch that now.
@@janleonard3101 Jon Krakauer hated it, saying it strayed far from the facts and even defamed some of the people involved. The director responded that he'd also relied on firsthand accounts and accused Krakauer of being the one who changed things.
@@Rmlohner I just finished watching the 2015 movie and I can see why Krakauer had a problem with it. He was portrayed as a self-centered loner, which I don't think is true. And there were things that were left out and/or glossed over, like Sandy Hill Pittman being short roped by Lopsang and how that affected the rope setting. But that's always going to be an issue with trying to fit everything into a 2hr runtime. It was visually gorgeous, though, and I think did a pretty good job of telling the story overall.
It goes with out saying that the book is a must read but you should also check another documentary Joe Simpson does called The Beckoning Silence about the tragic deaths on The Eiger. It is a very good film just like this one.
I've always hoped that someone would react to either this or Free Solo!
The book version of this is amazing
Omg I have always wanted someone to react to this documentary!
Great film. Didn’t make me want to rush out and go climbing either though :)
26:17 yeah welcome to mountaineering disasters. Loads of people who've never donned a climbing harness are all of a sudden experts at high-altitude technical safety and rescue. The climbing community has generally been on Simon's side.
I always think, if joe had the courage to go down the crevasse, what’s my excuse
The book is better. Touching the void. A great read.
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😊
Gotta commend your Patreons for pushing you to watch stuff nobody else reacts to. Do react to The Walk, it's in the same vein as in a true story that will boost your fear of heights and basically a documentary.
I actually haven't seen The Walk but I have seen Man On Wire which is an actual documentary about that same subject that came out a few years prior to The Walk (which is more of a film recreation). Highly recommended!
It's why I love taking on movie requests from folks. So many movies I've watch are because of them and none of them have been a miss! It also opens doors to movies I'd never think to watch, since with almost all of them, I've never even heard of them before!
late to comment but it'd be awesome if you got to watch 127 hours if you havent seen it already :D not a doc but another great true survival story
Incredible luck.
Never heard of it, to be honest. Or the climbers or the actors LOL
But surely you’ve heard of the director?
@@lukebarton5075 This isn't the Kevin Macdonald from Kids in the Hall, by the way. He's also done movies like The Last Kind of Scotland, State of Play, and Black Sea.
