YIKES!!!!! Have you ever gone somewhere alone and then you get stuck and no one answers your scream for help? Try getting stuck in a valley in the middle of nowhere having your arm stuck between a boulder and the ridge of a rock wall. In the film 127 hours, directed and produced by Danny Boyle, Aron Ralston, played by James Franco, goes on a hiking trip though the Blue Canyon’s of Utah when he falls into a steep and narrow valley followed by a huge boulder. The boulder landed on top of him nearly killing him but wedged his right arm between the side of the valley wall and the boulder itself.
The entire film is a recap of his 127 hours between the time he fell to the time he amputated his whole arm which I have to say was pretty disgusting. During those hours, he ran out of water, drank his own urine to survive, went through memories of his life and recorded himself with messages to his family preparing himself for death. Within almost four days he decides to cut his own arm of free and gets out of the valley. The film ends as he gets transported via helicopter to the nearest hospital where he was treated and survives. This movie based on a real-life story of Aron Ralston gets 3 out of 4 stars. Although it did have a good way of presenting the unfortunate circumstances of Aron, I found the film to be way too much and tedious on that one particular scene of him stuck in the cave. I found that all the camera angles were also the same for about two hours. I wish there was more excitement I felt like there wasn’t enough.
