Danny Boyle delivers!

Rating: 10/10 (23 January 2011)

When I saw the trailer for this movie, I was so excited. The trailer alone was so well put together, and the movie doesn't disappoint. James Franco is astounding, delivering only a few lines, but showing so much emotion when he isn't even saying anything. All the different shots are awesome, They really bring you into the movie and I personally felt kind of claustrophobic while watching. That's what I was arguing with my dad about, he preferred The Social Network over this, but I didn't. I look more into angles and environment, while he looked more at the story and acting.
127 Hours is well paced also, which is surprising because most of the film Aron is stuck. The amputation scene isn't as graphic as I thought it would be, I was more disturbed when Aron breaks his own arm. There were two very powerful moments where I got chills down my spine, When he hallucinates his son on the couch, and when Aron is getting rescued. The music flows so well with the movie, it just took my breath away. And that is what this movie is, A Spectacle.
