A stone in everyone's life

The contrast between the real shot and the fantasy shot is that the reality is heavy, slow and painful, the fantasy is joyful and fast-paced, and sometimes three shots are used to show it at the same time. The rapid picture is in sharp contrast with the long suffering in reality.

And through fantasy, he gave hope and motivation to Aaron, who was in deep pain in reality. In the end, Aaron also encouraged himself through fantasy and made a last-ditch effort. That is how much motivation it needs, and it is still an experience. For a person who barely ate for 5 days, drank only a small amount of water, and had only 15 minutes of sunlight a day. People, to live, need to have fantasies and dreams, so that they can move forward more vigorously.

At the beginning, with the lighthearted play of the two girls, everything was harmonious and full of laughter. I thought it was a film about the adventures of the protagonist, but a stone ruined all my previous "thinking". When Aaron has been struggling in the predicament and can't get rid of it, I always hope that someone will pass by and then save him. Aaron's heart desires someone to pass by more than anyone else. When there is a small movement, he shouts in a piercing heart "Help", how distressing that cry is, how we hope someone will come soon, even if the film ends like this. It was so real in the film that it made me want to end it quickly. It's different from watching Chainsaw, although it's bloodier and more of that. But that's a different genre, and I wouldn't want Saw to end soon, or even wish it had more disgusting images. However, in this film, I saw even more terrifying pictures, and I longed for it to end soon. I kept hoping in my heart that someone would come and save him, otherwise the result would be sawing off the hand.

The background music at the end uses female vocals, high singing, and bel canto singing. The singing directly impacts my soul. This is the music in Aaron's soul, but it also impacts Aaron's soul and saves his heart that is about to collapse. Get him back on his feet.

Aaron finally took a photo of his severed arm, which was left in Blue John Canyon, although it was returned to him in the end.

The poster is very well designed, a person with a stone, the person above the stone, straddling it. That's the story in the movie. Aaron said the stone had been waiting for him, from a long, long time ago. When he crosses it, everything in his life will be different, and he will have a different outlook on life, world outlook, and values.

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.
