The story is simple. An arrogant young man who walks freely and arrogantly thinks that he is omnipotent, so he decided to enter the Canyon area of ​​Utah, USA without telling anyone. The arm is stuck under a big rock. The desire to survive made this young man spend a short but long 127 hours here.

If you stand on your legs, you can’t move; if you only have a pot of water and a knife by your side, Some rope; if the only way to escape is to cut an arm. Can you make the right decision like Aron?

Director Danny Boyle’s new work "127 Hours" tells the extraordinary story of this ordinary person. When

it comes to Danny Boyle , it’s hard not to mention his 2008 Oscar-winning work "Shelter’s Millions" Rich Man>, and the controversial . The former is sometimes warm and sometimes sentimental; the latter is constantly falling, but looking for strength in the dark. Both focus on small characters, but the stories are very shocking. But the new work <127 Hours> brings us a kind of laughter and humor. A different visual impact, and a baptism of the soul.

The beginning of the film shows that many people in the world are accompanied by music that is similar to the music of "The Slummer Millionaire", reminding us that this is a story of ordinary people like us. The camera cuts across, Aron drove his bicycle and walked in the embrace of nature. His enthusiasm, unfettered, allowed him to integrate with nature. With his later plight under the rock, and the indulgence of returning to the wilderness at the end, Formed a contrast and echo. One small detail is that before Aron was trapped under the rock, he delicately touched the texture of the rock passing by with his hands, and he could feel his love and care for nature, but then the same action was when he was trapped in the mountain for two days. The first time he felt the sun, he felt the rocks with his hands again, but it showed his desire and cherishment for life.


James Franco, who played Aron, looked so much like the protagonist in reality, and he performed perfectly. Aron’s spirit of pursuing freedom is not bound by the world. But the irony is that the nature he infinitely worships is the ultimate culprit in his downfall, and when he tries to seek help, it destroys his hope time and time again. .

In other words, I was a little nervous before watching the movie. I always felt that such a simple story, a single perspective, 127 hours of alone survival plot, no expected dialogue, no gorgeous scene changes, how can Danny Paul make the movie more than The story itself is interesting. After watching it, I once again admire the excellent filmwriters and the superb skills of the film editor. The narrow scenes and the seemingly monotonous plots and other elements such as Aron’s memories are produced after he loses too much water. The illusion of, blending with the invasion of nature, makes the story richer. To be a

digression, Danny Paul contacted him as soon as he read the book published by the survivor Aron and asked for the copyright to shoot this film. In the movie, Aron suggested that Danny Paul tell more about his life after surviving in the film, but Danny Paul denied it. Danny Paul said that this story attracts me more because you are here After 127 hours of change, I don’t want to make him a typical aspirational movie. None of us is a hero, but within 127 hours, you are your own hero.

Can we also be our own hero? Compared with the stone that


holds down life, lack of courage is the real reason for the failure of the trapped beast. PS: For extremely bloody scenes and those who are sensitive to drinking urine, please watch this film carefully!

    The story itself is relatively weak, so I can't help it. The shooting power turned the tide.

    Survival one-man show. It's unexpectedly attractive.
