Kekexili (aka Ke Ke Xi Li Mountain Patrol; Hoh Xil: Mountain
Patrol) 2004 China / Hong Kong - Qi Liang, Zhang Lei, Duo Bujie Based on a true story, the film centers on Ga Yu, a Beijing reporter who ends up following a small mountain patrol as they venture out on a ten-day trek to catch some poachers, amidst the unforgiving lands in the uninhabited area of Qingzang Heights in Kekexili (Hoh Xil). Meaning "beautiful mountains, beautiful maidens" in Tibetan, Kekexili is a harsh, yet gorgeous mountainous plateau area located near the Chinese/Tibetan border. Led by the relentless Ri Tai, these volunteers journey through rough conditions ranging from quicksand to snowstorms, all united by a common cause - their undying love for the endangered Tibetan antelope. Together with the splendorous scenery comes ferocious snowstorms and treacherous quicksand. It's these forces of nature that eventually brought peril to a troop of voluntary mountain patroller in the pursuit of poachers of the near-extinct Tibetan antelopes during the mid 1990s. Having captured some poachers on the road, the Tibetan volunteer patrol, led by a hard-nosed Tibetan, endures fateful encounters in its dogged but dubious quest, from quicksand to machine-gun toting poachers, to cross the snowy mountain and catch the gang leader. The trouble is, the squad is out of fuel, food, and bullets. And the squad members, as well as the suspects, have got mountain sickness. The leader has to divide the group and send some of them back. But going back home is as dangerous as the route they are taking. There are snow storms, icy rivers, and quicksand. The scenery is stunningly beautiful but no one can stop to enjoy the beauty. And when the environment is so dangerous that everyone has to struggle just to stay alive, the wish to pursue justice gradually evaporates. The film concludes rather abruptly when a patrol member is swallowed by the sandy desert quicksand when his jeep gets stuck in the sand and he gets out to unload some of the weight. The death does not answer the beginning of the film in the potent measure expected by the audience. (Note: all of the very difficult scenes, including those involving quicksand and stunts, were performed in desperate conditions with non-professional, but committed and highly talented, actors.)

Both men go under as she slowly sinks to her waist before being pulled free by another guy. Clip |
