I’m torn on if I like the active documentarian aspect of this or not. I think it brings up good points about how people change how they act when they’re filmed (hello, Symbiopsychotaxiplasm), but I wonder if it dwelled on that topic too long.
Putting that aside, Alex’s physical feat is just incredible. Sweaty palms the whole time. Really wild stuff that I hope to never experience or witness in my life ever. Alex says no one ever achieved something great by being happy and cozy. I think I and the Epicureans would beg to differ.
