127 Hours.

One word sums up the movie- Gore.
No words can truly express how gory it was watching James Franco try to saw off his own arm.

The premise of this movie is this,
Aron, played by Franco is an adventure junkie. He hikes and climbs regularly.
He meets two young ladies on his hike. They play around in the water in some cave at the bottom of the canyon.

The next moment he is by himself, he is all gung ho, leaping around and climbing in cracks.
He slips and falls and down comes crashing this huge boulder and it traps his right hand.
He spends the next 127 hours trying to escape.

I give credit to James Franco, his acting was very believable, he portrayed pain, anguish and desperation very realistically. It was not acting, it was very good acting! I could feel the pain and empathize with his character. And at the end of the day that's what makes a performance excellent. Making the audience like you and go along the journey with you.
Everyone in the audience was rooting for him to snap his hand off and escape.

I read a few online comments so i knew how it was going to end. Its a happy story and a real one at that.
This movie is based on actual real life events.

The amount of will power and resilience is so tremendous. One needs a lot of courage to last for 5 days.
Imagine being all alone, trapped and in so much pain.
Not much food or water. Not just anyone will be able to survive such an ordeal.

If you don't mind blood I suggest you watch this movie. Directed by Danny Boyle, who did Slumdog Millionaire.

I loved the cinematic experience, the way the camera shot some scenes was very interesting and original.
They took a shot from the base of the transparent water bottle, through the water and showed Franco's face. There were also shots of him drinking his urine, they filmed yellow liquid traveling up one of those 'suck-out-of-the-pipe-connected-to-your-bag-thingys'
A lot of scenes to do with water, like when they were swimming, they filmed underwater shots,the camera was stationary while the actors swim up to the surface.

Its a heart wrenching and emotionally stimulating show.
I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.
