Hai ca am ramas in urma cu povestile - am de recuperat enshpe povesti, inca nu stiu in ce ordine le voi publica, s-ar putea sa fie derutant pana le link-uiesc intre ele.

A trecut 1 luna de la ultimul traseu [TODO: blog post].
Incepem cu cel mai recent traseu...


2016-10-29 - Traseul pe scurt in Muntii Baiului: Gara Sinaia - nemarcat - Valea Sipa, pe fir - spre Sud, pe creasta Baiului, via Vf. Cumpatu - Stana Mare - coborare pe "punct portocaliu" (i.e. marcaj neoficial) - Plaiul Tufa - Gara Sinaia

Vremea

Am avut 3 vremi :)

1. Pana pe la altitudinea 1500 m (i.e. portiunea Gara Sinaia - prin padure - pe firul Vaii Sipa): innorat, vant placut, frigulet dar exact cat sa-ti fie bine in polar subtire + caciula, sa nu transpiri etc. = Vreme buna de urcat!
2. Portiunea de gol alpin (i.e. iesit din padure - mers pe creasta Baiului - Stana Mare): frig rau, un vant taios, am cam inghetat (da, cu geaca cu tot) etc. = Neplacut
3. Portiunea de coborare (Stana Mare - Plaiul Tufa - calea ferata): a iesit soarele, in ciuda asa, s-a cam dus si vantul etc. = Cea mai placuta vreme

Traseul parcurs, pe lung

1. Tren IR 1621: Bucuresti Nord (10:00) - Sinaia (11:39)
   
   
2. Gara Sinaia - pe calea ferata spre Nord, pana la km 125+8, apoi drept in sus spre drumul forestier
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Pe drumul forestier, se traverseaza Valea Tufa, apoi oblic mai departe - apoi partial printr-o padure plantata "la linie" - Valea Sipa
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. Pe firul Vaii Sipa pana aproape de iesirea sa din padure, de unde am continuat drept in sus (firul vaii cotea la stanga) pana sub creasta
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. Sub creasta: masa de pranz.
   Frig rau, un vant taios, am cam inghetat (da, cu geaca cu tot).
   Hey, partea buna e ca am mancat un sandvis rece si am baut apa rece & "racoritoare"!
   
   
6. Spre Sud, pe creasta Baiului, via Vf. Cumpatu
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
7. Coborarea clasica, pe "punct portocaliu" (marcaj neoficial): Stana Mare - Plaiul Tufa - aproape de calea ferata parasim marcajul si cotim stanga (i.e.spre Sud) ca sa iesim mai aproape de Gara
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
8. Am iesit la km 125+4 al caii ferate (exista un pod peste Raul Prahova si o casa darapanata acolo).
   Apoi pe calea ferata pana in Gara Sinaia.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
9. Tren IR 1635: Sinaia (18:25) - Bucuresti Nord (20:03)
   
   

Concluzii

Nemarcat frumos.
Valea Sipa merita parcursa pe fir.
Sa tot revii in Baiului pentru astfel de trasee.

Hell or High Water (2016)

[official site; IMDB; en.wikipedia]

Smart.

Consistent & Coherent storyline.

The story develops linearly at times, then it gets twists and turns and so on. It feels very real, probable etc. - I don't have any objections to it, I wouldn't change anything if given the chance to, because it is great as it is!

Smart & Deep comedy.
Marcus Hamilton (played by Jeff Bridges) jokes about a lot of things, but those jokes are smart, deep, true observations regarding the world we all live in etc.

There's always something catching one's attention: the characters' drama, the landscape, the music, some smart idea etc., so one cannot possibly get bored.

The end is just great if you ask me.
This is the first time, I think, that I feel sorry there cannot be done a sequel, but you know what? Maybe it's better this way!

I should also read the book that the script is based on! I thought to myself after the movie... but there's no book, although the story is so deep, as if it has first been published as a novel and then adapted for a film.


Nota bene:

1. Some may not understand it and/or find it boring.
2. Should be watched in a cinema. TV would just ruin the experience.

Conclusions

Definitely worth watching.
Loved it.
