[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The director really blew the acceptance speech at the Academy Awards. Barely acknowledged the actual climber, and was insufferable.[/quote] I’m guessing you mean Jimmy Chin? I followed him for a few years then couldn’t handle him anymore. I’ve actually avoided this movie because of him. [/quote] He seems to think that having a brief wrestle with his conscience over whether he would bear some responsibility for Alex’s death is enough to absolve him of culpability. How is he, and others who encouraged this effort, fundamentally different from someone who yells “jump!” at a suicidal person standing on a ledge? Does the fact that there is a financial and notoriety payoff rather than a simple sick thrill make it socially acceptable?[/quote]
