Movie #399 "127 Hours" I can say this was one of the most uncomfortable films I have ever sat through -------and by myself, couldn't convince Dave to see this with me. And I don't blame him. But I thought, well, I'm a big Franco fan, and I love most of what Danny Boyle has directed ---- he's always edgy, so I thought what the heck. Yikes. What can I say about this? Lots of blood, lots of quiet moments, lots of times to turn away from the screen. But now for the good stuff --- unbelievable the makeup and acting changes in Franco, music and driving beat - tremendous, photography: man, Boyle knows how to move that camera around to make 127 hours very intriguing ---- this is a tough one to recommend or not. Sufficeth to say, it isn't for everyone, not even 1/2 of the population. It's just a tough watch. And I still can't believe what that guy went through, and I feel like I was there with him --- but the story is just that amazing! And talk about driving a theme at you --- I didn't dare forget my phone today as I left the house --- in fact, I don't think I ever will. So thanks, Danny Boyle, for that, and for an unbelievable watch. Can't say I'll ever see the likes of that again!
