Man. This is a good movie. I mean I figured it was gain to be, but that doesn't mean it's any less true.
Plot: This is the true story of Aron Ralston who goes canyoneering in Utah's Canyonlands National Park on April 25, 2003. But while he goes through a narrow passage in Blue John Canyon, he steps on a boulder that is jarred loose and falls to the bottom of the canyon with the boulder pinning his arm trapping him with no one to rescue him or anyone he knows know that he was even going on the trip.
This is good brutal movie. It's amazing what he goes through during that entire experience. and it's a little gory, but still. And it does reflect on his past while he's stuck which was good.
Actor/Character:
James Franco/Aron Ralston: yeah you shouldn't be surprised that I introduced this section with no 's' on Actor or Character. Because he really is that star of the show. considering that he's trapped alone, and the fact that you don't really get attached to anyone else, during the flashbacks or considering the girl he met before he's trapped, says it all. And what a performance he gave. He really did work hard with what he did and what he went through and it was really fun and suspenseful. Gets you to wonder what the really Aron Ralston was like during those 127 hours. Should he have gotten that oscar? ...I don't know, probably not. But I should watch King's Speech again just in case. but even if he should not have, he still did a very good job.
Music: It was really good. They did a good job with that.
Editing:Again, another work of editing that was robbed by Social Network. I mean King's speech has all those different angles, especially when the king and Lionel Logue had their first appointment, Black Swan had all of those angles and especially those cuts to bring up the suspense, now this film has all those close ups from his bottle to his CamelBak to the inside of his camera. What the heck? there really is not logical reason that Social Network should've possibly won Best Editing with that kind of work from King's Speech, Black Swan, and now 127 Hours. *sigh* Mother Fricker.
and that is my review for 127 Hours. It's a very excellent film and I recommend watching it.
