Aron Ralston (James Franco), arrogant, confident but just a bit sympathetic to load a backpack with some food, some water, flashlight, camera and film and some basic equipment climbing. Without telling anyone of his whereabouts is embarking on a ride through the canyons of Utah. After a brief crossover with a pair of adventurers through a crack, Aron wrong steps, a rock star comes loose and falls inside. His right arm is trapped by the stone, leaving him completely immobilized and seriously injured, the provisions are inadequate and the possibility that someone find is zero: Aron knows that, with luck, will survive a few days before the end inevitable.
The story is quite real and was mediated in 2003, just in case anyway, I will not assume that the outcome of it is known, but simply the name we that the resolution of the same will happen in about five days. Director Danny Boyle (Trainspotting , Slumdog Millionaire ) is planning on a more interesting challenge and deeply complicated: to make this experience something mirable "on the screen. The premise seems quite difficult this task: one small location (actually tiny) and a single operator and unable to move, how to make it something interesting to hold the attention for 93 minutes? For 127 Hours the key lies in two key factors: the ability to Boyle to take a story, however simple, and make her more than a stylistic exercise, and the superb performance of Franco.
Boyle works in close collaboration with an incredible James Franco (far from the youth galancito his early films) trying to get involved in their grief. Know its history through flashbacks, hallucinations and visions, while who he really is revealed in their actions as the days pass and hope reduces trapped in the crack. But the director knows that the only way this experiment works is to go a step further than simple affection for the protagonist, we must feel with him, not just follow your emotions, but to search for a more specific identification, we WE ask that we would do in your situation, look at and analyze their decisions as if they were ours, as if our life is at stake. At the most raw, Boyle, who has never had qualms about showing up to the limit of displayable, choose to incorporate sound as a resource to add the effect to the extent that we find it almost impossible to sustain the gaze. The antithesis which we generate the levels at which it shows the striking beauty of nature, but that is at once the "enemy" of the film is accentuated by an extremely careful photography is allowed to be warm and full of beauty, while threatening.
Boyle All resources however, are in the service of a true tour de force James Franco. Few actors can be fed so versatile the weight of a film like this, and even though this man had already begun to show its true potential is in this role in allowing really explore its possibilities. The range of emotions to which we are exposed and is extensive and the risk involved is to "reveal" the action, losing credibility in the necessary character state changes that are occurring at a dizzying pace. Franco takes the challenge and shows that it is up to par, if not above, allowing the necessary connection that need to accompany him in his days the crack
The result of this collaboration is successful and others recommended, away from function only as a narcissistic exaltation of the capacities of both artists, to connect their intentions, challenges us, ask questions. It tells us of our smallness against the immensity of the world, but also demonstrates our power over such pettiness ... Franco's nomination for an Oscar is well deserved, regardless of the result, leave me at least looking forward to your next job.
4.0/5.0
