The story is based on a real event. The protagonist, Aron Ralston, loves mountain climbing, is experienced, and prefers to act alone. Once when he was climbing the mountain as usual in the big narrow valley, he encountered an accident and fell into the crack of the stone. His right hand was firmly pressed by a large stone. Aron (James) tried his best and couldn't let go. The only way in the end was to cut off his right forearm with a knife. The
content seems simple and monotonous, but the film changed in the hands of Danny Boyle. full of observability. The first 10 minutes or so of the opening was quite relaxed. On the way, Aron met two young girls who were also hiking, and the three spent a short but happy time. Then the nightmare soon came. Aron had to face a sudden problem, and he couldn't solve it after many struggles and attempts. His mental and physical strength continued to decline, but he did not lose his will to survive.
The director enriches the film with some protagonists' recollections of past events and some illusions in their minds, intertwined with real dilemmas. The scenes of the sudden rainstorm and the protagonist escape and return to the side of the lover are unforgettable. In fact, as early as the "Trainspotting" period, DB has tried to tell the story by mixing the illusion into the real world. That time the actor fell into the toilet after taking drugs, and then felt like he was swimming in the beautiful deep sea. I am still impressed.
It is said that some viewers in foreign countries fainted with fright when they saw the scene where the male lead was amputated. I think the atmosphere is good because it's very tense and almost breathless, but I don't faint. The film is entertaining and reflective. First, we should not overestimate our abilities and think too highly of ourselves. Second, the human world always needs love. Also have a sense of humor. At the same time, don't become discouraged when you encounter a blow, but keep your head clear. I think these are the reasons why the protagonist in the film can survive until 127 hours and escape. James Franco's hard work is impressive. But not enough to convince me that he can win the Oscar for leading actor. In any case, his opponent this year is too strong. Colin Firth's win seems like a no-brainer.
