From the beginning, watching this movie reminds me of Tom Hanks' "Last Island" and "Moon" directed by Duncan Jones. Basically, it is a one-person movie. But after reading it, it feels similar to "The Rest of the Desert Island". They both use common elements to describe how great a life is in the face of painful disasters!
The film is based on a true story based on the true story of famous climber Aron Ralston. Alan Roston encountered an accident while exploring the canyon in May 2003. His right arm was caught in a rock crevice and could not move. He had to rely on the strength of his body against the rock wall of the canyon. Suddenly came up with an incredible method, cut off his arm with a very blunt knife, and successfully saved himself. In 2004, Roston published his memoir, "Between Rock and Peril," which recounts the thrilling experience.
The movie was still a success!
I shared with you what I read in the movie: what a person should do when faced with difficulties (just my own insights).
Shock, panic - everyone is shocked at first when faced with a sudden disaster. The frightened eyes of the protagonist Aaron Ruston clearly express the panic and anxiety about his arm being stuck, which is the first information the brain obtains after being shocked. There are many unknown things in the world, and many unknown things are difficult to judge, mysterious and treacherous, making people feel elusive, so fear is generated from the bottom of my heart. When we cannot predict the consequences of a disaster, we feel fear.
Getting away - the driving force behind overcoming difficulties is not fear but the desire to survive. In the face of difficulties, the first realization of a desire is mostly a fluke, so it is unlikely to be successful. Aaron Ruston keeps trying after panicking, and we see that no matter how hard he tries, he can't shake the damn stone. His first attempt was flustered, unprepared, and without any equipment, perhaps this was a hint of fluke. When difficulties strike, we will respond quickly in an instant, which is human nature, but I think it is more of a fluke mentality. Everyone
has , but people who are more down-to-earth don’t care much about their own mentality. They value their achievements through hard work, while some people with a speculative mentality are more likely to believe in their own luck. , believe in luck. Therefore, some people will become angry, show strong dissatisfaction with the status quo, or even give up on themselves when they do not escape difficulties by chance. The saint is not able to control anger in the face of happiness, but in the face of unhappiness.
Try again - it's the people who have the courage to continue to escape a desperate fate after getting away with it doesn't work. Aaron Ruston is one of those people who has gone through anger and no one to ask for help, and he hasn't given up. Calmly spread out his backpack, thought about one way to escape, and started drinking a small amount of water. It was these factors that didn't seem to be decisive that helped him reach the end. Looking at the protagonist's survival experience in this process, I found that difficulties really train people. In this process, Aaron Ruston constantly knew himself, reflected on himself, and realized life. This is also a kind of ego of the protagonist in the stage of spiritual weakness save. He began to regret: not answering his mother's phone call, refusing to take family photos, missing his sister's wedding, leaving his girlfriend sad and starting to ridicule and mock him; maybe he is still thinking, when he can leave, he will save all of this. And the director also used heavy strokes to render to us the power that family, affection, and love give to the protagonist at a difficult time. The scene is warm and emotional. Undoubtedly, it is a kind of daunting courage to recognize difficulties and still be able to challenge them. Be prepared to continue the battle, and accept the happy ending or the endless pain.
Accept fate - "8:15 Crow didn't come, 8:20 My crow didn't come". Aaron Ruston begins to believe that everything is destiny and his choice. That stone has been waiting for him from the moment of its fall to this very moment, to pronounce the end of the world for him; and every movement and every breath of his is also for the stone pressing his arm. If the heart is dead and the thoughts are extinguished, everything will become a phantom bubble; all efforts and struggles are just clowns in front of death. If the phoenix does not have Nirvana, how can he be reborn, and if people can't accept fate calmly, how can they stand up and resist fate!
Rebellion against fate - get rid of the shackles of fate and start a new life journey. The protagonist has done it. Maybe he has to sacrifice something for survival. Sometimes it is his arm. In fact, cutting his own arm does not hurt. If he loses the chance to escape because he is afraid of the pain of cutting his arm, it is the real pain. At the moment of breaking free, I fully realized the joy of the protagonist and a new understanding of life. When the protagonist said "thank you" to the stone, I believe that he must be ready for a new life in the future, let us bless him!
Maybe through the movie, we can think about how we will react when our "hand" is stuck? What will be done? When you look back on the choices you made in the face of desperation, do you regret it? (Recommend a movie "The Mist") P.S. I would like to dedicate to the original passage from the book "Between the Rock and the Peril" by
Aaron Roston I use a few good in-cut handholds on my left to lower myself around
the overhang, gripping the sandstone huecos—water-hollowed holes in the
wall—like jug handles. At full extension, my legs dangle two, maybe three feet off the floor. I let go and drop off the dryfall, landing in a sandy concavity carved deeper than the surrounding floor by the impact of floodwaters dropping over the lip. My feet hit the dried mud, which cracks and crumbles like plaster; I sink up to my shoe tops in the powdery platelets. It's not a difficult maneuver, but I couldn't climb directly up the drop-off from below. I 'm
committed to my course; there's no going back.
Best wishes to Aaron Roston!
