Wednesday Movie
127 Hours
Incredible true story about a bloke name Aron Ralston (James Franco) who went out hiking (Canyoneering is the lingo used) on a weekend at Canyonland National Park. Goes through an area called Blue John Canyon. Falls in a narrow passage and a big stone wedges his right hand tightly. This is his life in 127 hours. He eventually removes his hand by breaking it and surgically amputating it with a very blunt knife.
He realizes what is important to him during this time. And the simplest mistakes and things we take for granted. It reminds me to look and cherish what is really important to me and how situations can change so quickly.
The film was directed by the Danny Boyle (of "Slumdog Millionaire" fame) and he teamed up with AR Rahman who did the score for the movie. Brilliantly filmed with 95% of it with James Franco and the rock a the main actors!!
The movie blew me away and was totally unexpected as I had very little expectation or knew a great deal about the movie. Incredibly well filmed (trailer gives us a glimpse of it) and it has an incredible lesson to us all - please watch it!!!!
Rating: Wa Lau - almost life changing (actually it is life changing)
