What would you have done? - Frozen (2010) Discussion

[–] LittleSilverBoxes 13 years ago

It would take a huge amount of time and effort but I would have used the cables to get as close to the resort as possible. I don't understand why they cut one of the guys hand up like that. Would that happen in real life? Are they really that sharp?

As long as you have the patience and give yourself plenty of rest so's not to get too tired and fall, it could potentially work. I'd rather make a go of it like that than sit up there and wait to freeze to death!

They had two snowboards.

I would have connected the two snowboards together with the bindings on one end, and with the other end of the snowboard I would have connected it to the pole of the chair lift (there is two straps on each end of a snowboard). With the help of two people at the top of the chair lift holding the board in position. The lightest person could easily slide down the board which would have been over 3m long thus giving less impact when landing (enough not to break your legs). They could have done this in the morning, while two waited for help.

Oh come on... let's be realistic please.

Considering that the ONLY thing you should have done BEFORE that situation it surely was to let the girl wait for you considering you're fast and she was slow and they need to go down fast.... it appears to me like the most smart thing they would have done.

By the way if you find up there, the LAST solution would have been to jump down not the FIRST. The last just before to die up there waiting for some miracles (like someone walking up there for other reasons... thing I would anyway consider "a possible solution"... a ski resort probably need alwys people working outside even if closed and there're probably houses close to it...

The thing I'd do in that situation when it's clear that we're gonna stay there until death is to cry and blame me until losing words to why we went up there at closing time.. and I'd have peed myself waaaay before her tragic-comic moment considering you're gonna die.

Wolwes are an hell of a variable in that equation...

The most realistic solutions really was to climb until the lower chair or the ladder... BUT even for a guy doing athletic in THAT situation it would be a nightmare.... I don't think about the "too much sharp" cable, I'm thinking to the fact you're wearing heavy clothes, you're in a bad physical situation, the weather is cold and windy and the height was just too much to consider it like something to do easily. We weight quiet a bit to resist and wolves and the just died friend would scare my mind a bit too much to go for it like drinking a coffe.
Oh and someone really think that using the sky on the cable like would help???

I seriously couldnt stop laughing when he jumped and attempted to land feet first. if you were going to jump, you try and land on your side. sure you may dislocate your shoulder, but thats a lot better then breaking both your legs (HAHAHA)

personally i would have climbed down the cable with both hands and legs to the pole then voila

1- Zip up my jacket to keep face warmer clearly they both have that kind of jacket. They just decided frostbite on your face or hand doesn't matter.

2) I would loop my leg over the wire and then pull my way back down to next cart.

I have to say just these 2 things could of saved them instead of jumping like a crazy person at least get to a better jumping advantage.

The movie wasn't the worst, Open Water 2 was a epic fail. Producers need to think these movies out to be more realistic situations.

People do notice things specially the jackets they could have avoided the frostbite, that ruins the movie for me.

I would have howled a code to the wolves to go turn the lift on.

If I was the girl, since there was already a hood covering my head, I would have pulled the beenie cap over my entire face to prevent frostbite on my face. I would have kept my exposed hand covered inside my jacket. I wouldn't have fallen asleep with my bare skin having any contact with the cold metal. Also, I would have been focused on my situation throughout the entire ordeal, not asking questions about my boyfriend's friend's childhood memories or feelings of rejection by women. I wouldn't have exerted precious energy BS'ing about stupid things.

I don't have the upper body strength to have straddled along the cable wires, so I would have worked on reducing the distance between the chair and the ground. This is in fact how she ended up getting down. I would have toyed with the screws in the cable connecting the chair to the cable wire, or bounced up in down in the chair repeatedly until it loosened, and hoped that as the screws became loose and the chair started to fall, I could lower myself down close enough to jump.

they had to do this:

1) say to the girl to shut the *beep* up (that b**ch is so irritating!!)
2) wait for the morning.
3) put on, not 1 but 3 pair of gloves (or something else they got at the moment like hat or other clothes) on hands.
4) going thru steel rope.
5) climb down the ladder.

i think this should have worked with "minimum losses"...

wait until morning, then let one person put on all the handgloves as protection.
Then let that person climb down the steel cables,till he reaches the ladder,climb down and go for help.

Thats a possibility,but i would definitely use the cable to climb to the ladder.

Can you explain how they are gonna work together,to scare them off?

Because with the cuts on their hands,its kinda hard to hold on to a stick or something else.

In the movie the wolves smelled te blood from a mile away,so there would

definitely be wolves around.

What did you think about the guy that jumped right away ?

Being realistic, the idea of jumping could be not so absurd cause I remember that the height from up there is always a bit "faked" cause you don't really understand how much it is. It seems quiet lower but if you consider another point of view (ex. trees) you should understand (in the morning/daylight) how much it is.

By the way there're NO easy solution. Come on even the "climb solution" wasn't so easy, not for the impossible rasor sharp cable, but more for the height itself. It think that 99.9% of the people would die doing 10 meters in their condition with heavy boots. If I had to take that decision I would prefer to use the snowboard on the up side using the closed boots binding as a handle to simply arrive to the previous chair. I think it would be possible even if you'd take some speed.

Snowboard doesnt break. I've seen many snowboards to bend themself with an hard angle and returning to the original shape.
The rasor sharp cable is the only unrealistic device of the plot. I've seen those cable at the ground near to some ski resorts, and even if they're made of many small steel cables I don't think you can cut your beard with them. :D
Probably the point was that if you slip on it really fast it could cut just like any metal cable. By the way I also think that if you hang up there from the bindings you lower the distance from the center of the snowboard and it should bend much less then. And we're talking about a 10 meters slide.. not more...
