The Summit of the Gods

The summit of the gods IS one of those movies. First two acts are nearly perfect, third one becomes slower, but the ending is top notch. A must see, wonderfull film.

If you're into alpinism or climbing, then you're in for a treat; if not, you'll enjoy this anime-inspired film about giving in your life to something you love. 'The Summit of the Gods' reminded me a lot of 'I Lost My Body,' and not just because of the animation style — the details are amazing! — but because of the introspective themes. The story follows a Japanese journalist in search of the truth about who reached Everest's summit first. When he encounters an elusive climber who may have a lead, he joins him in his next ascent. Although the film has a lot of inspiring and breathtaking moments, some others are very dark and tense. Still, it makes a really good job at showing why climbers risk their lives with no apparent purpose. The only problem is that the mixing of two timelines makes the plot a little convoluted, but nothing to worry about. Just keep going and you'll be rewarded. Forget about 'Everest,' 'Vertical Limit' or even 'Free Solo,' this is the ultimate mountaineering film.

This French cartoon looks so beautiful that Japanese character designed because of the original manga looks so good and detailed and smooth it fills almost like I'm watching an anime from the 90s from the character The designed it's just so **** the story is told feel very smooth like you're learning about the past through journalism and looking at old archives. It's just such a nice way of telling it and I could really feel the character's emotion and why they were doing the things they were doing in the **** is fun while I was watching this movie with my female friend. She asking why they're doing what they're doing and I keep saying because they are men you know men have to do stuff because they stupid man we can't stop doing it because we are man it was very **** do we do what we do because there's some part of us that can stop if we have to do it if we don't we begin to destroy ourselves and live a lie. I feel this movie is about accepting who you are and doing it even if it's stupid.

There may be nothing special about the animation, but this film was a revelation and a pleasant quality surprise. What could easily have been categorised as a documentary is a surprising dramatic film that reminds us why the genre should not be associated for the most part only with family or children's films. If you have Netflix and haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.
