This film is an amazing story that will surely inspire you because of its amazing drama and its deep depression. I watched this film with a high expectation and was not dissapointed. I can finally say that James Franco has met his near best role that he has ever played in. I loved the story and could fully understand that the movie made it clear how it would feel to be stuck somewhere with no help for that long. The camera for the most part stay's with James Franco down iin between the rocks and show how he really feels. Danny Boyle brings us this near perfect film starring James franco in his best role. The plot of this film is compelling, Mountain climber Aron Ralston's played by James Franco who is on an expedition when suddenly he falls through two rocks with a small boulder behind him that crushes his hand and traps him in a canyon in Utah. Over the five days that Ralston's is stuck down there he begins to examine his life and finally decide to use his courage within to do what is necessary. In order to be rescued Ralston detached himself from the boulder,scale a 65 foot wall and walk 8 miles untill evidently he was rescued. This movie was great and it had all the drama and emotionality that a Danny Boyle film should have had. Since 2 years ago director Danny Boyle has made another extrordinary film after his last big hit that stole the best picture award "Slumdog Millionare". The film has the emotionality of "Slumdog Millionare" but has the intensity and suspense of the Rodrigo Cortes film "Buried". James Franco definately made himself a serious actor to play this role. The fact being that the real Aron Ralston is still alive today so if the role wasnt as dramatic as it should be or if the facts were incorrct he or Danny Boyle would catch the rap. This moie is a magnificent piece of film that is truly and explanation of people's true potential when it comes to filmmaking. My favorite scene in this film is the scene in which Aron was stuck in the rocks for a day or two at this point and he is so lonely that he pretends to be a guest on a t.v program to get his mind off of his troubles. This may sound stuid or idiotic but it isn't because this scene is actually sad. The scene shows that no matter how old you are or what your personality or mentality is when you're alone or stuck or scared your realperson rises to the surface. I loved this film and would enjoy watching it again. I would even buy it because it was so good. Please view another great emotional edition to Danny Boyle's directing career.
