Cinephile No. 534 “Everest”

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

"Everest" is a heartbreaking and beautiful piece of cinema about the eternal struggle between man and nature. Throughout human history, we’ve looked at the daunting height of Everest, the incredible depths of the Pacific, or trails connecting continents as something to be conquered. It is in our nature to desire such things. These conquests are filled with tremendous beauty, but they are also consumed with unbelievable danger. This film perfectly captures the balance between respect and our innate desire to force the land to bend toward our will. As the credits roll, we are yet again confronted with the reality that nature never gives up easily.


Be good to each other,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
