Never give up in Life

Rating: 9/10 (13 April 2011)

This was one of the most underrated movies to make it to this year's Oscars.But such was the presence of all the other movies that 127 Hours failed to impress the jury, but nevertheless this is one of the best movies that Danny Boyle has ever made. Movies based on real life stories always have a powerful ending and boy, Boyle really makes you cry at the end.
The plot might seem pretty straightforward, but James Franco has put in an absolute blinder of a performance. Mind you,hogging the limelight for the entire length of the movie is no easy task, and Franco delivers with a commanding and powerful performance. This movie teaches you one thing, Never lose hope and always love back the people who love you.
The soundtrack is awesome and makes the movie more intense. "If i rise" at the end by AR Rahman and Dido is a class act. Too bad it lost out on the Oscars. But surely this is one of the best ever adaptation of a real life story. Hats off to you Mr Boyle and most importantly to Aaron Ralston. This movie will surely inspire many people.
