I completely agree with SurfingDude289, but need to add more. It's very frustrating to see this joyful story of survival and self-examination reduced to a rating of "violence, profanity, gore" which is such a turn off for so many people who won't bother to see beyond that description to the deeper value of a film. 127 Hours brought Aron Ralston's life as described in his book "Between a Rock and a Hard Place" to a screen life that can't be conveyed to anyone who hasn't seen it. Socrates said that the unexamined life isn't worth living. Aron didn't just cut off his arm; he had five days to examine his life. His ordeal was that of being pinned to a wall with very little mobility and few tools. His primary tool was his brain; he used it to figure out how extricate himself and keep living. The infamous arm cutting scene is brief and surprisingly only marginally "gory" -- no blood spurting. A viewer feels as exhilirated and uplifted as Aron did when he knew he had a real shot at liberation from his "127 hour continuous experience." James Franco is stunning. He, Danny Boyle and everyone involved in the film bring this amazing experience to all of us who find the courage to get beyond the mere rating and celebrate Aron's life-affirming achievement.
What's great about it: Acting, script, editing, cinematography, Canyonlands!
I would recommend this to a friend!
