When a strong man breaks his wrist, it's not just cutting his tendons!

When I watched the protagonist Aaron Ruston cut off the tendons of his arm, my face was probably twisted into a deformity. This scene really made me feel a little terrified physically and mentally, and I couldn’t help but sigh: When people are desperate to survive, what can make them burst out with such great courage and sacrifice?
I have seen "Buried Alive" before, which is also a movie about survival in the face of death. "127 Hours" is obviously superior to the former in terms of story concept, spiritual excavation, and shooting techniques and authenticity. It vividly shows the process of an independent young man from self-confidence to self-examination, to self-rescue, and finally to self-birth. Among them are the fearlessness and publicity full of adventures, the helplessness and tension at the beginning of bad luck, the awakening and annoyance of one's own life, and the nostalgia and expectation for relatives and friends. After watching the movie, I suddenly felt: Maybe people like animals have been self-righteous and awake all their lives, but they actually walked through it in a confused way. Only when they really face the imminent death can their brains show a trace of true sobriety. Before In the face of the secular world, in the face of the unruly and neglect of relatives and friends, I always think that it is because of lack of confidants, hard to find bosom friends, a state where everyone is drunk and I am alone. But once he really wanted to die, regrets and regrets suddenly flooded into his heart, and those reasons and explanations that could easily justify himself in the past became self-deceiving excuses. No matter how incompatible with the outside world and arrogant in spirit, as long as it is really lost, the inner love for relatives and the need for the people around cannot be let go.
In addition to the desire to survive, the strong man breaks his wrist, I think it is more of a neglect of the love of the past, and the fear of losing the things he cherishes is about to be lost. After that, Allen is still brave and still walking on the journey of adventure and exploration, but I think he has more understanding of the feelings of his family and friends, and the preciousness of his lover!

  • 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.

    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]

    [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.
