[quote=Anonymous]wow I can't believe the negativity towards Alex or his girlfriend. I loved Free Solo and thought it was a great look into what drives him to climb and to risk his live doing what he loves.

I though the look into his relationship was interesting; in every relationship there is a fine line between not letting somebody hold you back from pursuing your passion and dreams. I think the girlfriend's take was very real- you love this person and don't want to see them die doing what they love, but you also love them enough to not hold them back from their dreams.

I don't think Alex is depressed or has a death wish at all. I do think he is on the spectrum and that may help him to stay so calm in these tough situations. I actually thought that one of the most impressive things about the documentary was how it showed all the prep work that went into this time. How he spent years studying El Cap and planning out and choreographing every move he was going to make to get to the top. Someone with a death wish would just go for it without thinking. [/quote]
