STUCK

“127 Hours” is a fantastic survival film directed by Danny Boyle, the same person who got the Best Director Award 2009 for the movie, “Slumdog Millionaire”.

The film is based on the true story of Aron Ralston, an adventurer who got his arm stuck under a boulder in the middle of nowhere during one of his canyoneering and tries to figure out a way to get himself out of there. What’s going to happen to him? Watch the movie to find out!

In my opinion, this movie was excellent and here are some points that I liked about it: the use of camera angles (e.g. taking a worm’s eye view shot of Aron when he was having a good time canyoneering and taking a bird’s eye view shot when he got his arm stuck under the boulder), the opening of the movie (e.g. it showed a few clips of people doing something with their arms and this gives the audience an idea that something related to arms is going to happen), the dramatic music and sound effects throughout the movie (e.g. the catchy music at the opening of the movie which attracts the audience’s attention), etc. There was nothing I disliked about this movie, maybe except for Aron’s swearing.

The actors in the movie were excellent and I found the characters interesting and fun to watch. I liked how Aron was carefree and energetic but on the other hand, I didn’t like how he always went somewhere without telling anyone about it. Still, I think most of the audience watching the movie will like him instantly because of his cheerful nature. His actor has portrayed his character very well.

Overall, I think this was one of the best survival films I have ever watched and I strongly encourage you to watch it as well. Thank you very much for reading this film review.
