[@internisus]

This is honestly fascinating. The cut to the final shot is what everyone points to as the unintentionally funny tonal break, but there's something so weird and artificial about the aesthetics of the entire scene. I feel like I'm watching a Doritos commercial or something that just happens to have a tense and tragic plot. I'm going to see this movie just to study it.

[@skullfazed7776]

As someone who has experience climbing I can say there are too many dumb things that would have had to take place for this to really happen. It would be basically impossible . It would require multiple (4 or 5) equipment fails at the same time.

[@foryourlugsonly]

Not to mention his weight coming off worn affect the last gear placement. It's coming out or it isn't regardless of the extra man or not. If anything he should have cut both of them and left Annie to try on her own.

[@simonbaigrie2485]

I've never done rock climbing. Would you even have 3 people on the one rope to begin with?

[@foryourlugsonly]

@@simonbaigrie2485 it really depends. Personally it would be two to one rope. So Annie and her brother and then dad and someone else. But I've been on pitches where 3 of us are on the one rope. That said, all 3 aren't ascending at the same time. You need someone on the anchor who is basically as says. Anchored onto the rock with bomb proof placements and that person will belay the other two. The issue is that as the anchorman pulls up the slack, man 2 and man 3 have to be climbing at the same rate so that man 3s rope between him and man 2 doesn't tighten too much and pull on man 2 and vice versa. Generally speaking you tend to have just one pitch being climbed at a time by one climber. So as follows. 1st pitch is the first man who is roped to man 2 on the ground and is the belay. When man 1 gets to the anchor. He will set it up and start to belay man 2 from above. Man 2 reaches the anchor and anchors in. Then throws the rope to man 3 who will climb past them and set up an anchor on pitch 2 and so on.

[@foryourlugsonly]

@@simonbaigrie2485 I'd also like to point out that in this situation. When the two climbers attached to 1 rope somehow manage to fall, as the rope catches dad who is the anchor. It pulls him off the bolts. This is absolutely completely and utterly impossible. There would be more chance of it splitting him in two like hot cheese wire through a chocolate sponge cake than actually snapping his rope. He is anchored onto bolts which are screwed into the rock face and set with a poxy resin.

Don't worry, this has never happened. People have sacrificed themselves for others or selfishly saved their lives, but not like this. The fact it, the bounce from releasing the first to surely would have undone the cam. 2) She could have set another cam without pulling on it, thus giving her an extra 8 or 10 inches of reach. 3) If they were going up an overhang, they would have had MUCH more protection set.

can you still calm your self take at the time to build a speech, no normal/sane human can ever do that. but maybe for the movie purpose yeah, maybe like those anime/cartoon about dying speech and will be ended like "sayonara/adios"

really?! if i was the son. and my dad says like what you thought. id rather we die together!

I may be in the minority, but I found the last shot to be honestly chilling. In most scenes in which someone fall to their death, they just fall off camera, but here, you actually see the dad hit the ground and die.

Personally I like this scene more than the Cliffhanger opening scene. Tense as hell. Though it should have cut at the point he's making the decision and left the father's fate as a twist revealed later in the film.

The bird really clenched the comedy. I saw this film in the theater. I'm trying to remember my reaction then. I think I was too distracted by the unrealistic climbing scenario already (was a pretty avid climber then). But looking at it now, the acting was really pretty decent. Definitely ruined by that last cut.

The way this scene is it hits hard. The cinematography in this part is really remarkable cuz it's so exciting you don't know what's going to happen you think maybe they could survive. And it's so exciting the way it's filmed in the beginning is amazing. But I don't understand though because the scene cuts off real short too early and I don't know if they all perish.
