Why I like 127 hours


"There is no force in the universe stronger than the will to survive."

The main story is just so simple – a mountaineer went into the Grand Canyon for a trek and climb. As he was about to go into a ditch a huge boulder fell on his right arm and he was stuck. Then the words “127 hours” flashed on the screen. Then you see James Franco’s face into confusion, then shock, then looks up, then looks at the rock, then a look of “what just happened???!! What am I going to do now?” And for about 1 hour and 20 minutes or so the audience is taken into that situation with the protagonist. Some may find it boring. I mean I would not really blame them.
