After having watched "Himalayas", a Korean movie Today (January 1, 2016), I went to a local movie theater, Edward Theater in the University Center of Irvine, CA to watch the Korean movie under the title of "Himalayas". Today was the opening day for the movie which is to run till at least January 8, 2016. (After that, another Korean movie, "Tiger" comes.) When I heard that it was about a climbing in Everest to recover the bodies of Korean climbers in the previous expedition, initially, I thought it could be a some dumb melodrama with lots of heroics. My expectation was totally overturned when I watched the movie to the end. Due to my personal involvements in the major expeditions in high altitude climbs in the past, and just as a normal person's emotions, my eyes were soaked wet. Thankfully, I wasn't the only one but there were a lot of other people who got wet eyes. Well, one thing I can say is that Koreans make tear-producing movies so well that you have to bring a handkerchief with you. Ha, ha, ha... Anyway, even to an emotionally hardened climber like me, the movie was thoroughly enjoyable. It is not a day-time soap drama. Except a few minor technical details (in climbing that will not be visible to you), I say that it is a really well-made movie that is worthwhile to watch. The contents may be narrow pertaining to the life of mountain people, but it will be universally attractive to non-climbers and even to non-Korean movie goers. I really like to recommend the movie to you guys, to see how the mountain climbers do and how they justify their craziness toward mountains. I still don't know why I climbed but I have never regretted my trails left on the mountains. Let's watch, enjoy, and help Korean movie makers, so that Korean movie industry can prosper in U.S. by SNUMA WM The Himalayas, A Korean MovieProfileMovie: The Himalayas Revised romanization: Himalaya Hangul: 히말라야 Director: Lee Suk-Hoon Writer: Min Ji-Eun, Soo Oh, Lee Suk-Hoon, Yoon Je-Kyun, Park Soo-Jin, Kang Dae-Kyu Producer: Yoon Je-Kyun Cinematographer: Kim Tae-Sung, Hong Seung-Hyuk Release Date: December 16, 2015 Runtime: 124 min. Genre: Mountain Climbing / Drama Distributor: CJ Entertainment Language: Korean Country: South Korea Just over the rocks at left edge of the picture, you see twigs of trees. Obviously, the picture was taken somewhere in Korea. There are no trees at the climbing altitude in Himalayas. The two climbers had to spent the night out in cold, "bivouac" (sleeping without shelter). The grainy snow doesn't appear to be true snow, a part of movie making process. It is surprisingly warm inside no matter how cold it may be outside. After the climbing, as they are returning to home. This is how they are supposed to appear. But only the person at left has the authentic climber's face. The rest have poor facial makeups. By then, inside of the airplane is too hot. No blankets , caps, or thermal underwear please. Anyway, the most part of the movie has realistic appearance. 영화 "히말라야" OST

Hi, Doc;
I have not seen the movie "Meru". I will watch it if I find it.
Mount Meru (20,700 feet) in Indian Himalaya was first climbed by an American Trio in December 31, 2012.
Under a same name, I climbed Mount Meru (4,566 meters, 14,990 feet) in Tanzania (12-30-1988) just north of Mount Kilimanjaro
but we stopped at the crater rim and didn't attempt to reach the summit. It would have taken 2-3 more days
to get to the summit. After successful Kilimanjaro summit (12-29-1988), we just took a leisurely walk up the crater rim.
Only 3 days later, I was back to my medical practice. Then, unfortunately, things were like that.
I think there is a theater near Fullerton where the "Himalayas" will be played from January 8th.
Please check the exact location and time.
I am sure there will be more theaters in southern California.

To me, the Meru climbers are my kind of heroes. I agree with and approve their actions and goals.
If I was given such a chance 40 years ago, I would have joined them.
The friendship you mentioned generally can not be formed (or nurtured) in normal social settings
where selfishness, vanity, individualism, and financial gain are the main goals.
I think it develops on the mountain slopes over a long period of time.
So are the obsessions for the summits.
One has to be exposed to the climbing (or similar) environments.
Thus, normal people wonder why they do such things.
