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.

127 Hours quotes

  • Aron Ralston: You know, I've been thinking. Everything is... just comes together. It's me. I chose this. I chose all of this. This rock... this rock has been waiting for me my entire life. In its entire life, ever since it was a bit of meteorite a million, billion years ago up there In space. It's been waiting, to come here. Right, right here. I've been moving towards it my entire life. The minute I was born, every breath I've taken, every action has been leading me to this crack on the earth's surface.

  • Aron Ralston: Good morning, everyone! It's 6:45 Tuesday morning in BJ Canyon! The weather is great. I figure by now that Leona, my housemate - Hi, Leona! - has missed me hopefully since I didn't show up last night. Another hour and a half they'll miss me for not showing up at work... Hi, Brion at work! Best case scenario is they notify the police and after a 24 hour hold they file a report, a missing person's report. Which means noon tomorrow it's official that I'm gone. I do still have the tiniest bit of water left. Well, actually, I've resorted... I've had a couple pretty good gulps of urine that I saved in my Camelbak. I sort of let it distill... It tastes like hell. So, it's 70 hours since I left on my bike from Horseshoe Trailhead during which time I have consumed 3 liters of water, a couple of mouthfuls of piss...

    [pauses a couple of seconds]

    Aron Ralston: Did I say the weather is great? Well, it is. Though flash floods potential is still present. There's four-prong major canyons upstream from me that all converge in this 3 foot wide gap where I am. The rock I pulled down on top of me, it was put there by flood. Still, I'd get a drink.

    [pauses again, while he drinks and shudders]

    Aron Ralston: Mom, Dad, I really love you guys. I wanted to take this time to say the times we've spent together have been awesome. I haven't appreciated you in my own the way I know I could. Mom, I love you. I wish I'd returned all of your calls, ever. I really have lived this last year. I wish I had learned some lessons more astutely, more rapidly, than I did. I love you. I'll always be with you.
