赤心巔峰

TAIWAN|2023|DOCUMENTARY| 108mins

DIRECTOR:  Yang Shou-i

2023  Kaohsiung Film Festival

Synopsis​

Taiwan’s Central Mountain Range features 138 peaks with altitudes exceeding 3,000m, stretching over 300 km from north to south. KU Ming-cheng and CHOU Ching, two trail runners with very different temperaments and a 30-year age gap, spend three years training and exploring with the aim of traversing the Central Mountain Range on foot. This documentary captures their record-breaking eight-day, 16-hour feat from the very beginning, traversing self-doubt and disagreements, to finally achieving their goal, every step resembling a peak of life marked by unwavering determination.

被稱作「護國神山」的中央山脈,以臺灣島的屋脊著稱,這條險阻的山徑有138座超過3000公尺海拔的高峰,南北全長超過300公里;古明政與周青二位越野跑者,年齡相差三十歲、橫跨不同世代,卻同樣擁有挑戰極限的赤子之心。他們歷經三年來的訓練、探勘,身影橫越一座座山嶺。然而,日復一日的疲累與負傷,積累著壓力,一度令人懷疑自我。山脈的挑戰和人生起伏一樣,如何克服曲折艱困,超越自我?

導演楊守義透過攝影機,紀錄下兩人史上8天16小時最快完成的中央山脈越野縱走。鏡頭不僅捕捉了臺灣屋脊的綿延山巒,串連起中央山脈的面貌,並審視每一座山的臉龐與它們的名字,更呈現人與山的緊密情誼。兩人的不同溫度、不同智慧,在高山上沿途和補給隊配搭、精確籌算腳程距離,從開始、懷疑甚至爭執,到最終達標,踏出的每一腳步,都是如同人生般的赤心巔峰。
