Tsurugidake - The Movie


Still in mountain mood from yesterday's hike, today I watched the new movie Tsurugidake (剣岳). It is said that Tsurugidake was the last area to be charted in the map of Japan. Although it is not the tallest mountain (Fuji is), Tsurugi is one of the gnarliest (険しい) to climb due to its vertical cliffs. Hiking the mountain requires skill and perseverance, and in the movie, which took 200+days to make, the latter is just as important as the former. Kudos for the crew for managing to shoot the film under such extreme and unpredictable environment. Hopefully they will do an English translation so more people around the world can appreciate the film. In one scene, Miyazaki Aoi said 「いざというときってどんなとき?」 and that cracked me up... Even now, people would have a hard time answering that question.
