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!

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.
