Finally! 127 Hours came to my tiny city at the Keystone Art Cinema. Usually I have to sneak my own drinks into the movie theater (kiddin' Mom) but this one has a bar of its own! I'll have to remember this for my next movie outing. Back to the show...
I had heard about this movie coming out over a year ago from my brother's blog. I had heard the story of Aron Ralston, the hiker that cut his own arm off, years ago, but little did I know my brother would get that chance to meet the legend. Turns out he's a friend of JV who's a friend of my brother. They all met up to do a run up Green Mountain last year. And since I am related to B, have run with JV, and been up Green Mountain (where the picture below is from), I think I should be able to say I know Aron too!
Ok, that's a bit much I know. Back to the movie... I think they did an amazing job with this film! I was interested to see how they would keep the story going of a dude stuck between some rocks for 5 days. I've never been in Utah where the story took place, but I have done enough exploring and adventuring of my own that I was able to imagine myself in his situation and how periless it must have felt. No way I think I would be capable of what he did. It is an amazing story and I encourage anyone to go see it. The whole cutting-off-your-arm scene, not bad at all. I promise *kinda crosses fingers*.
