alone on the road

This is Danny Paul's new work after "Slumdog Millionaire". It continues his "hypocritical" line. The theme chosen is still legendary: a person traveling alone in the wild, and then trapped in a gap for 127 years Hour. Only then did he think of the people he loved and the people who loved him. In order to live to see them again, he reluctantly broke his arm and was able to steal his life. Since then, he has lived a life of love.

This story reminds me of Sean Penn's "Wild Survival" in 2007. Under the beautiful soundtrack, the protagonist played by Emile Hirsch graduated from a prestigious university and resolutely began to go to the wilderness by himself despite the opposition of his parents. Go away, go away from the crowd society with the mentality of escaping, find your spiritual home, and only realize your repentance before dying of illness: it is absolutely stupid to choose a person to live a life.
The camera language of "127 Hours" is very fancy, which is very different from "Buried Alive", which is also a one-man show. The style of the soundtrack is exactly the same as the director's last masterpiece. Frank's performance is quite satisfactory. Although he may have done his best for himself, it really makes people feel the despair and fear that the protagonist should have. The last part of the broken arm Slightly rushed. In short, Danny Paul's creations in recent years have made it difficult to see the sharp edges and corners of the early "Shallow Grave". He is trying to innovate. It can be seen from his choice of subject matter, especially the one that is not at all. Suitable for "Project Sun", which has a terrible box office reputation.

If you have watched "127 Hours" and feel that it is not powerful enough, it is not enough to make you hesitate about the way forward, then I recommend you to watch "Wild Survival". The coldness revealed by the film will make people shiver.

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.
