Overcoming

Aron was trying to undermine, at least a little to move the boulder, but in vain. A stone weighing nearly 400 kg did not yield to the insistent actions of one person.

Since Aron Ralston was left alone with a huge boulder in the middle of the desert. As he told after his father Larry Ralston, Aron set 5 possible ways to get out of this situation enough to shatter a boulder present in the equipment, to break the wall of the canyon until you see the opportunity to pull out a hand, waiting patiently for rescue or self-amputate a hand stuck between a boulder and a rock. There was another way out suicide, but incredibly strong-willed Aaron, this option is immediately discarded.

Despite all attempts to defeat a boulder or a rock, Aaron for several days was in a deadly canyon. Until a rescue was pointless, because none of his family and friends did not know in advance a new route Arona. He ended the scarcity of food, and he took a terrible decision: to cut off your arm. In his possession was only stupid Chinese knife is a cheap fake, and a few Bicycle spokes, of which Aaron is building himself a makeshift enforcer. He alone breaks the radius and ulna, and then takes in his left hand a knife…

Salvation Arona

Overcoming the hellish pain, he gets out of the gorge. Rescue of Aron Ralston waited only a few agonizing hours, passing through the desert, hungry and dehydrated, more than 12 km away, Aron came across tourists from Netherlands, they called a rescue helicopter.

After discharge from the hospital, Aron continued the conquest of the remaining vertices is four-thousandths, and did not drop the class extreme sports. In 2009, Aaron married in a few months, gave birth to their first child. Aaron now is a true example of incredible courage and will to live.

“127 hours": the beginning

Eighteen months after the rescue of Aron Ralston released an autobiographical book in which in detail described the events with him the events of those terrible 5 days.

A few years later, after reading this book, the famous Director Danny Boyle decides to once again assemble a team of top-notch experts in their field and take quality movie. With producer Christian Colson and screenwriter Simon Bota Boyle worked on ‘Slumdog Millionaire”.

Boyle's Desire to make this film initially frightened many: they were afraid that the audience won't like to see throughout the film the face of the same actor. But, reading the book of Aron and learn about his history, had all come to the same conclusion: worth it!

The Main idea of Boyle was to immerse the viewer in that terrible gorge, and together with Aron Ralston forced to endure the pain and overwhelming fear, noticing how emotions change hero from panic to desire to escape and survive at any cost.

Ralson and Boyle: the first encounter

The First thing that had to do Director that when viewing the film, the audience believed him, this contact with the real Aron Ralston, to invite him to the set.

Aron met Boyle in Utah in July 2009. Canyon not frightened, and, in the words of Ralston, he thanked this place for the life she had revealed to him.

Before the confinement in a narrow gorge Aron was a man of secretive, a Maverick by nature, he thought about how worried his mother and father, when he sent in his dangerous expeditions. But during the most difficult five lonely days when day nowhereto hide from the scorching sun, and in the night to escape from the growing cold, Aaron had time to rethink their actions. Rightly we can say that blue John was the second of his birth.

The Ideological component of the film

It is said Ralston, and he to the end of the sixth day was too exhausted, thirsty, sun and cold - and it was all cleared his mind, “until they left only the emotional attachment”, not allowing you to surrender and give up even in such a difficult situation.

Danny Boyle moved that idea into the movie: he showed not only the ability to survive in a desperate situation, but also the desire to overcome the barrier in itself in relation to society and the people.

However, despite the idea contained in the movie "127 hours" of the reviews about it are very contradictory. After watching some considered this film a great motivating story, others named Aron Ralston is a crazy egomaniac who realized the value of family only after the most tragic story of his life.

Main objective Boyle

Having Defined the idea, the film team asked a question about who will play Aron Ralston, who was left alone with his misery, in the film. It was supposed to be, first, a very talented actor, and, secondly, its physical form should match the body type of Aaron, a professional athlete and climber.

The Man who plays Aron Ralston, had to be ready to work in difficult physical conditions, where 99% of the time would only. At the same time it was necessary to show the entire possible range of emotions, most reliably passing sensations, thoughts and actions of your character.

Actor of the first plan (and, in fact, the only character in the picture) film "127 hours" was James Franco. Himself Aron Ralston agreed with this choice: “I was very pleased to learn that this role will be performed by employees with this set of dramatic roles. I knew other works of James that he really likes to live the life of the character, played”.

In the footsteps of Ralston

For almost the entire film after hitting the main character in the gorge of the audience watching Aaron through a small travel camera. For Franco this was a unique experience he had during the long hours on the court do not interact with the other actors. He's very interested in this project is the novelty of doing shots. The basis for these was kinodelo with the audience. According to Franco, he was glad to work with Danny Boyle in this project, despite the difficult physical conditions, when for hours he had to sit in the same position in the layout of the room. Often the actor left the ground with bruises and scratches.

Franco had to transfer their game all the personal experiences of his hero. In this he helped write the real Aron Ralston. In a moment of complete despair Aron wrote a message to his family and friends, a kind of Testament in which he left them.

Ralston showed the James Franco of the possible poses in which he was during his long imprisonment, and even explained how he held the knife during amputation.

After, Ralston and Franco long gone to the mountains together. For an actor it was important to see the prototype of his character in a real environment, in its native element.
