其實英文名字是：Farther than the eye can see -- 直譯的話應該是：看不到的遠方
你想象過攀登珠峰嗎？
如果一名盲人向往攀登珠峰，你會怎麽想？
盲人怎麽登珠峰？登上去做什麽？盲人登珠峰看得到什麽？
這是我幾天前偶然在Amazon 上點開這部紀錄片時心裏揣著的問題。
Erik Weihenmayer從小就被診斷患有一種不可治愈的眼疾，13 歲的時候終於徹底失明。他的父親在他小時候就帶他登山，即使失明以後，Eric仍然和父親一起登山徒步。2001 年，Erik決定加入當年的珠峰探險隊，希望能攀上世界最高峰。希望讓世人看到，了解到雖然眼睛失明，但是他們還是有足夠的能力；盲人和其他人一樣可以成就很多事情。
這部紀錄片跟隨Eric走進尼泊兒，走到大本營，走到第二，第三營地，走到珠峰頂上，所以大部分的攝影都在8000米高山上完成。
在片中，我也隨著Eric的腳部，不光是看到他怎樣一步一步登上去，也了解盲人怎麽登山。Eric用自己的語言給我們描述他所“看”到的珠峰。
世界上很多東西原本就不是眼睛所看得到的是不是？小王子裏麵的狐狸不少說了嘛：what is essential is invisible to eyes.
電影很勵誌，攝影風光很真實也很棒。
這部紀錄片Amazon prime 免費可看，推薦。
Farther than the eye can see
Mt. Everest? Imaging being blind and climb Mt. Everest?
What the point for a blind person to climb Mt. Everest or any mountain? What a blind person can see at Mt. Everest?
I was intrigued by those questions when I came across this movie. Yes, this is a documentary movie shot at 8000 meters high; this is a documentary about a blind guy climb Mt. Everest.
Erik Weihenmayer was diagnosed with a rare and untreatable eye disease at age three that saw him gradual lose his eyesight until the point of total blindness at age thirteen.
Introduced to climbing early on by his dad, Erik decides to join a Mt. Everest expedition team and ascend to the summit of the world's highest mountain.
In this film, we can see the amazing Mt. Everest, learn how a blind person can actually trekking by himself, and hear Eric tells us what he sees when he gets to the top of the world. Indeed, what he saw was farther than the eye can see.
“What is essential is invisible to eyes.” This is from my favorite book “The Little Prince”. Yes, our sense to understand the world is way beyond our eyes.
A truly inspirational story and amazing cinematography!
After the movie, I took an interest of this Erik, did a little google search about him. And what I found was even more inspirational.
Erik – not only climb Mt. Everest, he also completed the 7 summits in 2002. At 2002, there are only 150 people who complete 7 summits.
