Brilliant!

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 2013)

What made this movie in my opinion splendid lies within its sincerity. It is naked in its creation. There is not a scene that is Hollywoodized except maybe the ending: some might argue that the ending of a movie should and is key, and I would consider myself within that class: but in 127 Hours, the climax is the very ending- it Had to intensified- Aron Ralston beautifully portrayed by James Franco has a newfound respect for Human Contact at the very end of the movie. What made the epiphany genuinely real, is, as opposed to epiphanies related to Religion, Politics, Societal conflicts, this one rose from a near-death experience, which tends to be the most honest one of all.
Cheers to Danny Boyle for having achieved very hard directing, namely shooting 90% of the movie with one character having introspections on himself- this could have easily been a calamity, it was anything but!
I highly recommend this philanthropy-oriented movie. I believe the directing and James Franco did a wonderful job and hopefully 127 Hours' success will open more doors for James Franco.
