The Sense of Reality that Cinema Can Provide Us

Rating: 9/10 (29 June 2020)

Based on real events from Aron Ralston's book Between a Rock and a Hard Place,When I went to watch this movie, I didn't expect much and I was wrong because it surprised me a lot, leaving me amazed with what I was seeing, thinking about it I think it was because of the extreme feeling of reality that the film goes through and offers to the viewer, this owes much to Danny Boyle's brilliant direction, the cinematography of Anthony Dod Mantle and Enrique Chediak is another brilliant aspect, whether due to the unusual camera movements with a focus entirely on a character or the excessive use of close-up that looks great.

Another thing that I was surprised by was the performance of James Franco, who plays or plays the central character of the films Aron Halston, who I honestly do not know very well the work of the actor James Franco, who in this film does a sensational work, incorporating it the very well as nuances that the character suffers this film.

To close my comment, I could not forget the scene that generated by what seems to me many comments from critics, the scene in which he pulls his own arm out in an act of despair before death, showing the wildness of human nature to try to survive , this scene specifically marked me a lot.
