Touching the Void

    《Touching the Void》也许是我看过最揭示人性的纪录片了。你能多相信你的队友,朋友?Even with your life? Joe和Simon登顶秘鲁处女峰下撤时,Joe不幸摔断了腿,在近7000米的高处,这几乎就是死刑,但是Simon没有放弃他,竭尽自己所能帮着Joe下降,两人在下撤途中,又遭遇险情,两人命悬一线 - 不是两人一起坠落,就是Simon割绳放弃Joe自救,Simon选择了自救。Joe坠入150多feet的冰窟窿,并最终神奇的拖着一条断腿,在雪地上爬了3天,爬回大本营。两人都获救了。

    最值得深思的是Joe在事后接受interview的时候的这三个问题 - "Are you and Simon still friends?" "When you were in Peru did you call on God to help you?" "Would you have done the same thing?" Joe这样回答 "Yes" (超强大啊,赞!); "Definitely not" (他出自Catholic家庭,有点奇怪,他选择相信内心); and "Actually, I don't think I could have done what Simon did." (!!)

    略微说一下,Joe和Simon都是英国人,我也一直认为英国人流淌的是“荣誉”的血液(美国人的是自由的基因,而我们则是实用主义。),最有名的大概就是Titanic号上,绅士们让女子和孩子先撤。所以Joe事后说我也许会和Simon作出不同的选择,我是相信的。当然Simon的选择,我也理解。毕竟,作为一个旁观者,谁又能知道当时事发时的心境呢,更无从去judge任何人了。

    题外话,又想起《群山回唱》里人被大雪埋没时的一段描写,看着怕怕的.

    ... that if an avalanche buries you and you're lying there underneath all that snow, you can't tell which way is up or down. You want to dig yourself out but pick the wrong way, and you dig yourself to your own demise. That was how I felt, disoriented, suspended in confusion, stripped off my compass.
