A Comparison between the Portrayal of Pain in Aron Ralston.
There’s a pivotal scene in Danny Boyals’ “127 Hours” when our protagonist Aron Ralston (James Franco) gets his arm pinned between a rock and is unable to move it. Up until this point.
In condensing 127 hours into 93 minutes, Boyle proves to those unfamiliar with his work before “ Slumdog Millionaire ” why he is so respected in the industry and much of the credit must also go to editor Jon Harris, who also cut this year’s “ Kick-Ass “. The collaboration between Boyle and Harris is spot-on and keeps the film moving.
Unlike its competition in this last Academy Awards for Best Picture, director Danny Boyle ditched the complex plots and storylines surrounding other nominations and connected with the most raw.
Also in 127 Hours artificial light is used to soften shadows or to eliminate shadows on character’s face. The shot that is taken from above after character takes his cap off and stares at the sky and yells out of excitement, the light is natural and soft and creates naturalistic shadows to the canyon. Character embraces the sunlight.
Review: 127 Hours By Paul Brunick in the November-December 2010 Issue After five days (and seven hours) spent trapped in a lonely corner of Utah’s desert canyons, his right hand crushed and pinned beneath a dislodged boulder, amateur outdoorsman Aron Ralston amputated his own forearm with a pen knife so dull it could barely slice through skin.

After seeing the 2010 film 127 Hours, Aron Ralston called it “so factually accurate it is as close to a documentary as you can get and still be a drama,” adding that it was “the best film ever made.”. Starring James Franco as a climber who is forced to amputate his own arm after a canyoneering accident, initial screenings of 127 Hours caused several viewers passed out after seeing.
