"127 hours is the true story of mountaineer Aron Ralston, an extraordinary survival adventure where the protagonist must save himself after a rock crashed against his arm and trapped him in an isolated canyon Utah. Over the next five days Ralston examines his life and survive adversities to finally find out who has the courage and means to free himself. Through their journey, Aron remember friends, loved his family, and two girls he met before his accident. Will including the two last people you know in your life? "
little or nothing to be reproached for Danny Boyle. The guy is technically a chameleon, and any film that greatly differ from each other : was drama, comedy, action, suspense, science fiction, horror, everything. It's one-man band and (almost) all have an amazing quality work. It is one of the most versatile directors I know. Now, I admit that due-explosive I saw Slumdog Millionaire , although the proposal seemed a bit overrated by far.
With 127 Hours , Danny I was blown away. It is simply a journey through a very powerful story coming up where the forces of human being in order to survive, the spirit of survival exposed to harmful conditions.
Using the charismatic James Franco in front of all his film, the director pulls us in the journey of the brave Aron Ralston, a mountaineer reckless in its exploratory trip in the Grand Canyon is trapped by a boulder. Until such time that the whole crisis erupts, as Boyle does best is to build the character of Aron Ralston, is talkative, funny, funny, active, outgoing, and a meeting with two climbers, Kristi and Megan is a great introduction ... until it reaches the tragedy, and with it the credits, never better placed, and a completely significant.
Fifteen minutes into the film, is now where 127 Hours becomes the show's James Franco, until today, never took into account the full potential of James, and here shows that not only a pretty face and an Oscar nomination is well justified. It's amazing all facets of Franco, how to generate empathy with the audience, and with every minute that passes, the situation is desperate as could be, and only through the front is the main attraction of this proposal. And in the end, I admit I cried life - the combination of all elements and moments that the film had been presented just gave me in the right place.
fatal I would forget about the other characters that appear in the journey of Aron (in this case, Kate Mara and Amber Tamblyn, both adorable) and the flashbacks and hallucinations / memories of Aaron: The beautiful Clemence Poésy (yep, la Fleur Delacour in Harry Potter), the small share of Lizzy Kaplan as the sister of Aaron, or the eternal child of Treat Williams as the father of Aaron. Good cast.
One thing I noticed looking 127 hours is the relentless and super fast direction of Danny, this man is a fan of playing with the angles and removes much but much juice to locations that never reaches bored with your address. It's fast, meticulous to the extreme and very attractive. Something that works in your favor is the edition of Jon Harris (great editor, bad director - his first and only film at the moment is the ugly The Descent: Part II ) with cuts here and there very MTV. Exorbitant work together.
The other issue is music. AR Rahman hated the music of Slumdog Millionaire and The Ugly theme 'Jai Ho', which I feel horrible and on top of crushed us again and again, here, I loved the music they made! Very sharp, incipient, and a soundtrack added very interesting and at times, ironic. Also, the song 'If I rise' to get to your heart Dido.
127 hours is a long history of living and overcoming, for the period just before you bore them, a memorable performance from James Franco and Danny Boyle's commendable direction. The target for this year's Oscars.
