This movie is probably one of the all time greatest war movies ever made. It's double story and attention detail combined with convincing acting on both sides and outstanding sets give the feeling of realism to the movie. Some of the interesting facts about the movie is that the main set for the Japanese filming was a pair of full scale mock ups one of a battle ship the other of a air craft carrier.For its time it was probably one of the best war movies ever made and to this day the analytical way in which the movie over views the battle is in direct contrast to the way war movies are made today.More based around telling the story of a character then telling the story of the battle. Although this makes the movie less character driven it still in my opinion the best war movie ever made or at least one of the best and certainly worth at least a watch.

The decision to go with this design was a simple one because the characters in the book are all climbers. It makes logical sense to have a picture of a mountain on their cell phone case.

This movie is one that is both under rated and under appreciated. The cast is perfect, the animation is the best in any 2-D animated movie I have ever seen. The sound and music to the movie is outstanding, the plot is good although thin at times and the only real problem with the movie is the lack of original or entertaining villains. As a result the story relies on a very well developed cast of main characters. I wouldn't say they make up for the lack of entertaining villains but they make up enough of the lost ground to make this movie one of my favorites.

I chose these apts because they would probably be beneficiary to a climber as well as being relevant to the story. for instance the first apt is for the expedition itself and is based on the fact that the team has all important web-sight for which the expedition is rather proud of. I would assume that where this story would be written now there would probably be a summit quest apt rather than just a web sight. The second apt is suppose to be a weather service for Nepal. Because Mount Everest is in Nepal it is easy to assume that you would want a weather forecast for Nepal. There is also an apt for e-books completed with the published biographies of the expedition leader because the main character is obvious a fan of him as well as a mountain guide for climbing facts about mountains.
