psychedelic survival movie

The movie starts with the loud music. The protagonist, Aron, goes to the Grand Canyon for an adventure on the weekend. On the way, he meets two little girls. After walking together for a while, they part ways. Suddenly, an accident, his hand got stuck, and Aron was stupid, huh? Got stuck? ! I'm stupid too, this isn't too shocking, isn't it? !
However, after reading it, I realized that this is not a simple survival film. He not only described a person's self-rescue in material and behavior, but also spent a lot of space describing Aron's thoughts and inner activities after getting stuck, recalling his childhood, his relatives and colleagues, and the little girl he just met. There are also huge fantasies that are constantly interspersed with reality. In addition to showing the protagonist's desire to be rescued and water, there is also the struggle of primitive desire and nameless fear. 127 hours make up this slightly psychedelic adventure survival film.

Before you were born, there was a stone waiting for you, sooner or later.

I really like that the stone that stuck him is regarded as a fateful waiting, and in an instant, an adventure film has risen from survival to life and thinking. It is not only a question of giving up and choosing, in my opinion, The director seems to be saying that in one's life there is always a task and a hurdle to be realized and completed, which must be faced sooner or later, otherwise this stone will always follow you and will be pressed until death... So it's better to face it Yes, go full life!

Even though he paid an arm for it, he continued the life he had chosen. Explore, take risks, and live life to the fullest.

He wrote on his personal website, "Life is empty and boring. Only in the wilderness can we create extraordinary possibilities!"

ps: There is a very wonderful bloody scene of broken arms in the film, if you are afraid of blood, please automatically bypass.

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.
