Aaron Ralston was trapped five days in a rocky canyon in Utah. Withstands 127 hours the title of the film until, finally decided to cut his arm, which was what I was trapped by a boulder. Mutilate chose to live. Danny Boyle, a director for me overrated and conquered critics and awards with the dull and I think that more and more forgotten Slumdog Millionaire, directed this film which tells the saga of Ralston. One moment, only a moment, is what really matters. And most of the time when the short arm, mark the later time. What makes a man when living thing? That is the point of interest in a film, being a true story, is lost in the game of unreality, which seems more interested in innovation (does not) in formal aspects that appeal to the humanity of each and every one of its viewers. In claims similar in appearance but in reality not so 127 hours remains light years Buried . James Franco, yes, it offers a real tour de force interpretation. Danny Boyle is still considered a groundbreaking, an innovator. Perhaps a rebel. There is no way to understand his eccentricities visual 127 hours. The strength of this story is that it actually happened. But what we see is not a recreation but a picture that distorts the elements of good document. We divided into three levels (like the opening sequence, if intended as a sort of metaphor for the current lifestyle, not rogue relationship with history), we see images camcorder, see pictures scrolling across the screen. We see a lot of visual experiment that we have seen in the past, although probably not in such a high percentage of the same film. If I asked how come the more interested I stylistic Danny Boyle that the human drama of its protagonist, it would have had to come to the memory of his previous film. Slumdog Millionaire was a documentary about poverty in India that a great film. With or without them Oscars. And here is the same. To Ralston said it was almost a documentary of what happened.
The fact is that, or perhaps because of that, narratively the film takes too long to boot. Perhaps because the viewer that's waiting to see is that 127 hours agonizing captivity suffered by Ralston and, instead, Boyle takes many turns before arriving at the fateful moment that falls into a ravine and a rock imprisoning his arm. And from that moment, Boyle prefers to focus on the unreal world, in hallucinations, flashbacks, dreams, rather than its own character. James Franco gets, however, that the actual scenes, which correspond chronologically to the torture accidental, are the best in the film. Awe, he did, with much more class than the director in his choices, when put in front of his camera and tells who he is, what has happened. Or that sequence (very upset, yes, Boyle), which is released questions and answers as if it were on television (is it too far-fetched to draw a parallel with the conversation between Gollum and Smeagol in The Two Towers second installment of the trilogy The Lord of the Rings? ).
Undoubtedly, James Franco is the best of 127 hours, although the first option was Danny Boyle Cillian Murphy (the Scarecrow in the Batman movies by Christopher Nolan.) It is not easy to be present at all levels of a movie. It is not, moreover, when the story is as hard as it. And it is not when it means, also represent the mental deterioration of a person who fears for his life and who are suffering. Not getting ahead of trance is that it overboard. Boyle will soften somewhat the task of footage devoted considerable time to the moments before the accident, when Ralston meets two young lost to serving as a guide for the area. Distractions that will surely want to prevent the viewer to focus on the scene, in fact, has turned into a movie. But it is inevitable. That scene is hard, with much blood, but perhaps less emotionally exploited by the director of what would be desirable.
The moment marks more than the 94 minutes, and that no says nothing good work by Danny Boyle. The film ultimately is a superb work of interpretation and the push to find out more about an epic human story. But after that moment, the castle collapses. The epilogue is long and says little more. As some had said before the accident. Boyle fails to close the movie well and on time, or enter it hard enough. And he remains a moral value more typical of young beavers manual that the narration of an episode about human nature. 127 hours as the story remains disappointing and a gripping story with a sublime actor.
