“127 HOURS” Life and Death in Minutes
“One of the most compelling, stunning, captivating films of the year based on the true story of Aron Ralston, brilliantly portrayed by James Franco. In a gripping, raw Oscar worthy performanc”.
127 Hours is a 2010 biographical adventure film produced, co-written and directed by Danny Boyle. The film stars James Franco as real-life mountain climber Aron Ralston, who became trapped by a boulder in Robbers Roost, Utah, for more than five days in early 2003 before amputating his arm with a dull knife.
127 Hours begins with Ralston (James Franco) preparing for a day of canyoneering in Canyonlands National Park in Utah, and driving to the trailhead at night. The next morning, he bikes through the park, aiming to cut 45 minutes off the guide book's estimate for the time needed to reach his destination. He is on foot, running along a bare rock formation when he sees two hikers, Kristi (Kate Mara) and Megan (Amber Tamblyn), apparently lost. Ralston convinces the pair that he's a trail guide, and offers to show them a much more interesting route than the one they had been trying to find. He leads them through narrow canyons, including a blind jump into an underground pool, where the three film themselves repeating the plunge using Ralston's video camera. As they part company, Kristi and Megan invite Ralston to a party they're holding the next night, though they doubt he will show.
Ralston continues into Blue John Canyon, through a narrow passage where boulders are suspended, wedged between the walls of rock. As he descends, one boulder is jarred loose, falling after Ralston to the bottom of the canyon and pinning his arm against the canyon wall, and trapping him. He initially yells for help, but nobody is within earshot. As he resigns himself to the fact that he is on his own, he begins recording a video diary on his camera, and using his pocket multi-tool to attempt to chip away at the boulder. He also begins rationing his water and food.
As he realizes his efforts to chip away at the boulder are futile, he begins to attempt to cut into his arm, but finds his knife too dull to break his skin. He then stabs his arm, but realizes he will not be able to cut through the bone. His video logs become more and more desperate, and he becomes delusional, dreaming about past experiences, including a former lover (Clémence Poésy), family (Lizzy Caplan, Treat Williams, and Kate Burton), and the two hikers he met before his accident. After reflecting on failed relationships with friends, his lover, and his family, he comes to the realization that everything he had done in his life has led him to this ordeal, and that he was always destined to die alone in the canyon. He finds himself out of water, and is forced to drink his own urine.
Finally, after five days, he gathers the will to apply enough force to his forearm to break it, and severs the arm with his dull knife, fashioning a crude tourniquet out of rope and using a carabiner to tighten it. He wraps the stump of his arm and takes a picture of the severed portion he is leaving behind. He then makes his way out of the canyon, where he is forced to rappel down a 65-foot rock face and hike several miles, before finally running into a family on a day hike, exhausted and covered in blood. The family sends for help, and Ralston is evacuated by helicopter. The film ends with shots of the real Aron Ralston from his life after his ordeal, including several of Ralston's further adventures in climbing and mountaineering, which he continued following the accident, and of him with his wife, whom he met years later, and their child.
''127 Hours is not just a film – it is an experience. It is only in limited release now, but I can only hope that audiences everywhere will get the opportunity to see the movie. It is an amazing movie centred around an absolutely incredible, legendary performance. Watching Franco bare his soul on-screen is practically a cleansing experience. I went in with high hopes, and left with a huge smile on my face. It is authentically emotional, and in a year merely punctuated with a handful of amazing movies amongst a sea of filth, it more than just stands out. It is quite simply, unforgettable.'' by DonFishies

หนังเรื่องนี้เป็นชีวิตจริงของ Aron Ralston นักไต่เขาหรือนักปีนเขา ไม่แน่ใจว่าเขาเรียกว่าอะไร กันแน่ แต่ดูจากในหนังน่าจะประมาณนี้ แต่ยอมรับว่าเขาสุดยอด หนังเรื่องจริง ที่เจ้าของเนื้อเรื่องยังมีชีวิตอยู่ และเขายังรักที่จะปีนเขาต่อไป ขนาดไม่มีแขนข้างหนึ่งแล้ว แต่เขาก็ยังเอาเหล็ก หรือที่เรียกว่า ฮุค มาต่อที่แขน เพื่อที่เขาจะได้ทำในอาชีพที่เขารักต่อไป และที่ชอบมาก ลูกชายของเขา ชื่อ ลีโอ เหมือนลูกชายของลี่เลยละค่ะ
''I'm always amazed at what a incredible machine the human body is and what it can do when matched with a determined soul like Aron's. I can only imagine the level of mental will power this man has. What an amazing, inspiring, hypnotic story about pain and rebirth. I watched 127 hours this weekend as well and just have to add that although James Franco does an excellent job portraying Aron, nothing is as powerful as his own video clips. Thanks to whomever posted this.''
