- TriviaTalking about the aspect ratio in which the film was shot (4:3), cinematographer Lorenzo Hagerman said that, while being a beautiful ratio to work with, it also managed to help in the framing of Jeff Goldblum (6'4", 1.94m) and Tye Sheridan (5'7", 1.71m) in their scenes together, without it looking funny.

THE MOUNTAIN DOESN'T HAVE ANY GROUNDWORK, UNFORTUNATELY. NOTHING IS SET IN STONE. THERe isn't one set theme that you can latch on to. Because of this, the whole film feels wrong
WRONG WRONG KRONK
It's hard to tell what was an intentional choice from the director, and what was just an inconsistent detail.
It's a shame, because the movie was great at times. And I did understand some of
