With an opening line to the trailer that screams drama—”Our bodies will be literally dying”—Everest is painting a very vivid picture of what is in store for the characters, and us as viewers, during the film. To watch the trailer is to marvel at the environment that is Mount Everest, to establish the connections between characters and their lives, but most of all it is to witness how control is something one loses when you decide to go where your own body has no right being, naturally.
Have you ever climbed a mountain and felt your lungs burn from the thin air, less available oxygen, and simply from exerting your body? Try climbing Mount Everest, I’ll bet money it’s worse than anything you or I have ever experienced—or ever will for that matter.
With an opening line to the trailer that screams drama—”Our bodies will be literally dying”—Everest is painting a very vivid picture of what is in store for the characters, and us as viewers, during the film. To watch the trailer is to marvel at the environment that is Mount Everest, to establish the connections between characters and their lives, but most of all it is to witness how control is something one loses when you decide to go where your person has no right being, naturally. Nature is not something you want to mess with, especially at the top of Mount Everest.
Sounds like fun, right?
Everest is based on a true story, just in case the drama was not at a high enough level already.
