the mountain between us
despite the fact that this film did not get great reviews, i liked several things about the story line. for one, as a person who has been stranded on a mountain (albeit in a different way) i could appreciate their problem-solving strategies.
if you were to follow me throughout an ordinary week, you would hear me say, "figure it out, smith" to myself, as it is my "go-to" phrase when i am otherwise unsure of what to do. i thought the characters worked well together to maximize the situations they found themselves in and used what they had in order to survive.
typical literature conflict modes of man vs. nature and man vs. man were in good working order. there wasn't so much of man vs. self except perhaps at the end when the characters are unsure of how to continue life (don't want to spoil anything in case you haven't seen it).
and i like that they take turns helping each other. we all need to be both the givers and receivers in life, regardless of the kind of mountain we might be facing.
a lot of other people are queued up in front of me for the library book, but i'll look forward to the novel by charles martin when it's my turn.
