The story told in the filming of this movie is a bit similar to that of the Juvenile School. They are all about a person living in desperation, but this one is based on real experience.
In the process of narrating the whole story from Aron's subjective perspective, although there are interspersed with Aron's associations, memories, fantasy and even illusions, whether it is the camera or the music, it gives people a very real feeling rather than a fantasy like the juvenile school.
The film is mainly divided into three stages. The
first stage is when Aron sets off from home and prepares to climb the mountain. The people and things he encounters on the way. The
second stage is when Aron suddenly gets stuck between a rock and a rock wall, that is, he gets caught. After 127 hours
of sleepiness , the third stage was when Aron broke his arm to survive and found someone on foot to rescue him. The
final epilogue was an introduction to Aron's life after he was saved.
In the first stage, the pictures and music are very jumpy. Many pictures are cut into three shots at once, which looks very dynamic. You can also feel Aron’s character: he is adventurous, optimistic, and loves extreme sports;
in the second stage, it is more of a static presentation, because Aron is stuck in the crack, it can be said that life is suddenly in A static state, but even so, even with a hand stuck in the stone, Aron is still discovering the beauty of nature, the sun shining through the cracks, the insects in the canyon, and the birds passing by at regular intervals.
There are also many camera records and Aron's selfies in the film. From his love to take pictures, it can be seen that he is a very optimistic, loves life, cherishes and enjoys every moment of life.
II
The beginning of the story is that Aron is preparing to set off at home. A
series of shots show the various equipment he brought in his climbing adventure. These things will appear again when he is trapped and organized to save himself.
In addition, at the beginning there was a call that seemed to be from my mother (still sister). He obviously hadn't set off yet, so he could take the time to pick it up, but he still went to the voicemail to leave a message.
Another more impressive detail is the overflowing water when he was filling the kettle, and the close-up of the dripping faucet. In ordinary daily life, water may be very indifferent and squandered, when people are in desperation. Time is an extremely precious and indispensable thing to life, and it seems ironic to echo the following plot.
Later, Aron drove on the highway and met a group of fellow travellers riding mountain bikes. A group of people formed a strong contrast with Aron alone. Regarding travel should belong to one person or a group of people, there seem to be various sayings among people who like to travel and adventurous, but obviously Aron belongs to the type of people who choose to take a lonely adventure. This is also a kind of life. Attitude: Some people just like adventure, like to try unfamiliar environments, like a person like to be able to enjoy a lonely adventure elsewhere at any time.
Later, when he stopped the car to change the bicycle, he started a timer with his watch, as if he wanted to reach the destination faster than the arrival time stated in the guide manual-of course, he finally failed to arrive as expected. Then while riding fast, he fell, and Aron lay on the ground where he fell and took a selfie with his phone and smiled happily. In the hearts of optimistic and adventurous people, falling to the ground is also a very happy and satisfying experience.
After that, Aron was eager to guide the two girls. Yesterday the teacher let it go, I will ignore it. This paragraph also portrays Aron’s character, and also shows that he likes to take a unique route to mountain adventure and enjoy unique ways. The joy of this is to pave the way for him to pass through the rift and then encounter an accident. It can be said that fate is inseparable from character.
When they were separated from the two girls, the girl invited Aron to a party on the next day. After the separation, there was a small conversation between the two girls, thinking that Aron would not go, and that the ordinary party was like Aron’s love for fresh adventures. For people, it's just a passing moment. Of course, Aron had associations when he was trapped later. He remembered it very early and also had the illusion of going to this party, but if he was not stuck there, would he remember it? If you remember, will you stop the adventure and join it?
Aron's trapping happened suddenly, but sometimes it was true that he was still enjoying his life in the last second, and then suddenly fell into an irretrievable despair in the next second.
After encountering danger and falling into desperation, Aron's behavior was to call for help first, looking for people who might be nearby, that is, the two girls he met before, but they were too far away to get a response.
After that, he calmed down and sorted out his possessions. [His calmness is really very sensible and worthy of admiration, and it is also the biggest factor for
him to survive in the end] The items he brought were once again unfolded, including cameras, video recorders, watches, ropes, and locks, but only a few Food and a bottle of water, and most importantly, I remember that there is no mobile phone in it. Although there may not be mobile phone signals in remote places, I think communication tools should be a must. And Aron's later Lenovo memories in the desperate situation also revealed many of his lack of preparation, I will explain further later.
Through previous conversations with the two girls, he knew that his job seemed to be engineering-related, and he was an engineering student, so later he tried to install some pulleys and ropes, and also used a knife to plan the edge of the stone to save himself, but he did not succeed.
In just over an hour of the film, most of the time it is the various associations, memories, fantasy and even hallucinations interspersed by Aron when he is stuck in the crevices of the stone.
From the near association [through the details of these associations, I discovered his lack of preparation, inviting his girl, the juice in the car], to the distant memories [ignoring the family’s love for myself and my family’s love, and missing myself Happy time with my ex-girlfriend and when she broke up, she almost cursed: You are destined to be alone for a lifetime]
Later it was a fantasy and [I recorded a show pretending to be interviewed in DV], there was a kind of self-deprecation of having fun in hardship, and
in the end it was almost an illusion. [Rescued after a downpour in the desert during extreme water shortages, etc.] [A child who imagined a child’s own future].
In such a static, closed time and space, these things emerged and flashed in Aron's mind, only to realize that when he pursued the things he loved, more seemingly ordinary things in life had been ignored.
In the movie, Aron finally lamented that 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.
You never know when in your life you will suddenly encounter a stone that has been waiting for you all your life, this stone makes you have to be Stop your continuous progress, make you aware of the details of life that you have been neglecting, recall the people you love and those who love you, and arouse your inner strength.
To sum up, I personally feel that Aron's own optimistic character, calm mind, the love around him that springs up in his memories, and the future children he fantasizes about, and the future life are all his source of power for this legendary survival.
III. Other
lastly, about Aron’s lack of preparation and the mistakes he made:
not bringing enough water and food,
not bringing communication tools,
not telling family and friends where I was going, how long
did I not bring enough tools
Overconfidence and carelessness in the new adventure route.
Aron's extraordinary calmness and courage are quite legendary, but in fact many misfortunes can be avoided,
so
if you explore sparsely populated places by yourself, you must tell your family your destination and how long you plan to do. , Specific routes and so on. It's not that I don't say it so that my family is not worried, but that the family can rest assured afterwards.
You must remember to bring your communication tools. Although you may not have a mobile phone signal where you go, you will always go to a place where you have a signal to ask for help.
Finally, always prepare for the worst and make the most calm and correct decision. Even if Aron didn't sever his arm, the result of losing blood circulation for so long would still be amputation.
Aron's 127 hours of survival is a legend, and because of this, this movie seems to be more moving, whether it is a person who loves adventure sports or a person who is looking for a safe and stable lifestyle.
An adventure that belongs only to oneself is the wonderful thing that every passionate and young life wants to pursue. It is the pride of being born to constantly challenge the height of life, but at the same time, the ordinary bits and pieces of ordinary life and the surrounding ones are always around. The love of family and friends should also be the root of a legend that cannot be ignored in life.
