Reflection on the Movie




The Everest movie was interesting; I liked it. There were many different reasons why people climb up the mountain. The Spanish lady's reason was bluntly nationalistic. She wanted to be the first Spanish woman to summit Everest. The guy with out the face mask, Ed I think?, did the summit for a personal challenge. These two reasons are completely different from the reasons of Norgay the Shirpa guide. He did it for mostly a religious purpose. For him, to summit Everest is like us going to the Holy Land. There he places the colorful flags so that everyone in the whole world can be blessed. But, Norgay does retain a personal self-righteous reason. Norgay wanted to show his father that he can do summit the mountain and make him proud
