This film was epic.! I was first attracted by the name of the film "127 HOURS". It implied time length and suspense which is what drags me into a film. The graphics were fascinating and realistic. The beginning of the film started with many people rushing like a busy crowd, i love the brightness at that time. The main character Aron Ralson was a stubborn climber who never gave up. This could have been an average film, but a brave director decided he wanted to do something better. Danny Blabla deserves praise for making a cohesive film from what could have been a huge mess. The cinematography is managed by BUbuBLAbla and he deserves recognition for using very sleazy and uncomfortable camera-work to elicit the necessary emotion from the viewer. James Franco deserves a round of applause for making a potentially very embarrassing role to see, into something touching and realistic. The camera-work was very exact and precise. This film was from a real life experience and it touched a lot of people especially the part when James Franco had no options but too cut his arms off. To me this scene made me cringe but everything was so real and exciting. Overall i loved the film and i dont regret choosing it.
