BobHoward posted:I was almost more shocked by Russell Brice. Telling his "boys" he's frightened for their safety not because of Everest but because he's totally heard they're in danger of being kneecapped by their own countrymen was pretty disgusting. The silence in that tent as he pushed his theory was deafening. Also, him in voiceover talking up how Sherpas are inscrutable Orientals who don't want to reveal what they're feeling... which was in sharp contrast to the film's touching interviews with Sherpa climbers and their families. What a surprise, take people out of the context of talking to their combination benefactor/boss/exploiter and they are a lot more open.

BobHoward posted:Did you catch the bit where he had the gall to tell his team of Sherpas they were just being intimidated by a few bad apples, and tried to imply they should tough it out and climb anyways? That they were harming their reputation and livelihood by not being happy clappy smiling helpful cutesy Sherpas? Ugh.  . Also, the part where he talked about them all basically losing a year's salaries was legit depressing. Like, you'd think if he cares that much he could just pay them anyway, I'm sure he could afford it considering the difference in salary. The government's 'intervention' was something else as well. 'Uh, hey guys, we heard there's some trouble brewing and we should get involved. So, here we are. Okay, bye now.'
