I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Thanks for the memories!
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Spoiler warningWith a lot of good reviews on this site and Metacritic you would surely expect a really good film. I thought i would love this since i really liked Castaway and other Boyle's films like Slumdog Millionaire (which i gave a 10/10)Never heard of Aron Ralston before but the ending is predictable, i knew what will happen from the moment he picked up the knife. They present Aron Ralston to an unlikable character at least to me.As positives the struggles of Aron are presented realistically (a bit exaggerated obviously) The best scenes are the hallucination scenes like the one where it shows his route to his car with a bottle of Gatorade.
This is a well - known story where a superman mentality proved to be super strong in the end. With little medical knowledge he used instincts, logic and his limited equipment to get out of impossible situation and survive. For his independence, self-sufficiency and his ignorance and naiveté he paid a high price. There can never be enough inspirational stories of bravery. I recommend, the movie delivered great acting, cinematography and realism although I had to skip the butchery part.
127 Hours is written by Danny Boyle (Trainspotting) and Simon Beaufoy (The Full Monty) it is also directed by Danny Boyle. The movie follows a man named Aron played by James Franco (Pineapple Express) who gave a brilliant performance that felt like it stuck with him which makes this movie feel more like an experience then a film he felt real. The plot is bare and simple Aron just goes exploring in the middle of nowhere falls and traps his arm and stays there for 127 hours overall the plot is not what makes this movie its the exploration into Aron mind and watching him hoping he gets out. The cinematography is nice a lot of beautiful shots and very colourful scenes and also very stylistic which is what type of director Danny Boyle is he is one with style. The movie captures something real and makes it one of the greats and soon in a good few years a considered classic.Overall I would recommend this movie to anyone it is intense and it makes you think what would you do in Aron situation and that's one of the big things the movie got across.
I had this movie recorded on my sky box for several weeks before I got around to watching it. I wish i hadn't waited so long! What a fantastic piece of cinema. I should of noticed the words "Danny Boyle" a bit sooner.The scene when Franco's character starts to cut through a live nerve has stayed with me for days now. A clever use of chilling audio to really drive home the pain that one must feel and combined with Franco's fantastic acting, you really do believe he's just done the unthinkable.If you are tempted to pass this movie based on a predictable plot I would urge you to reconsider if only to experience the awesome filming, camera angles and direction.
