I know he will be saved, he knows it himself

I didn't think it was very exciting, and I didn't think that the performance was more skillful.
At the beginning, I thought of a short story by Flaubert. A hunter fell asleep without any breath of life, so he was buried as a dead person, but he woke up in the dark coffin. The next step is his reaction to the plight, how he doubted God a little bit in despair, denied God, and finally was ruined by anger a little bit.
And Aaron was almost shining, and most of the time he laughed at himself, quietly quieting himself. Or you can say, this is just a coat of despair, and the calm on the surface cannot deny the turbulent waves inside.
But I don't believe that in that kind of situation, people still have the mind to hide and pretend themselves.
When facing oneself, heaven and earth or destiny, it can only be the most primitive and purest emotional reaction, despair, fear, longing, regret, fantasy, ecstasy, each of which is unforgettable.
This is a moment of dialogue between a person and a soul and life, but it is just a moment of indifference. Whether it is fantasy or regret, it has a hint of performance.
I attribute this to that camera.
This camera is too critical. Aaron had thought of his death, but his consciousness was even a little joking, and he could not forget to give himself a simulated TV interview. The typical TV body, self-deprecating, relaxed, small things, small things, no Nothing can be used to joke, including death.
In the end, it is the same with "Slumdog Millionaire", inspirational, high-spirited, relaxed, the protagonist is optimistic at any time, although this optimism is so doubtful. Until you don't know if you can be rescued, it's strange that you don't doubt God.
Of course, knowing it is another matter. And in this movie, we knew that Aaron would be rescued.

    A new film by Danny Boyle and James Franco. The shot of the broken arm was too R-grade, and some people fainted in the cinema. .

127 Hours quotes

  • Aron Ralston: Don't lose it. Aron, do not lose it.

  • Aron Ralston: [as Brian Stephenson] Good morning, everyone! It is 7 o'clock here in Canyonlands, USA! And this morning on the boulder, we have a very special special guest, self-proclaimed American superhero, Aron Ralston! Let's hear it for Aron!

    [nods to his imaginary audience]

    Aron Ralston: [as himself] Hey. Hi. Oh, gosh, it's... It's a real pleasure to be here. Thank you. Thank you! Heh. Eh-heh. Em... Hey, can I say hi to my mom and dad?

    [as Stephenson]

    Aron Ralston: Mom and Dad! Mustn't forget Mom and Dad. Right, Aron?

    [as himself]

    Aron Ralston: Yeah, that's right. Eh... Hey, Mom. I'm really sorry I didn't answer the phone the other night. If I had, I would have told you where I was going, and then... Well, I probably wouldn't be here right now.

    [as Stephenson]

    Aron Ralston: That's for sure! But like I always say... your supreme selfishness is our gain. Thank you, Aron. Anyone else you'd like to say hi to?

    [as himself]

    Aron Ralston: Ehm... Well, Brion at work.

    Brian: Hi, Aron!

    Aron Ralston: [as himself] Hey! Eh... I probably won't be making it into work today.

    [Stephenson-Aron and the audience laughs]

    Aron Ralston: [as Stephenson] Get a load of this guy! Oh, wait. Hold on... We've got a question coming in from another Aron in Loser Canyon, Utah! Aron asks...

    [as caller]

    Aron Ralston: Am I right in thinking that even if Brion from work notifies the police, they'll put a 24-hour hold on it before they file a Missing Persons report? Which means you won't become officially missing until midday Wednesday, at the earliest?

    [as himself]

    Aron Ralston: Yeah. You're right on the money there, Aron.

    [the audience laughs]

    Aron Ralston: Which means, I'll probably be dead by then.

    [the audience laughs again]

    Aron Ralston: [as Stephenson] Aron from Loser Canyon, Utah. How do you know so much?

    [as caller]

    Aron Ralston: Well, I'll tell you how I know so much. I volunteer for the rescue service. You see, I'm something of a... well, a big fucking hard hero.

    [the audience laughs]

    Aron Ralston: And I can do everything on my own, you see?

    [as Stephenson]

    Aron Ralston: I do see! Now... Is it true that despite, or maybe because you're a big fucking hard hero... you didn't tell anyone where you were going?

    [as himself]

    Aron Ralston: Yeah. That's absolutely correct.

    [as Stephenson]

    Aron Ralston: Anyone...?

    [as himself, shaking his head]

    Aron Ralston: Anyone.

    [as Stephenson]

    Aron Ralston: Oops...

    [the audience laughs]

    Aron Ralston: [silently repeats] Oops. Oops.
