127 Hours

Went to watch the show without knowing the plot.

Initially I thought it is about an adventurous trip around the canyon.
At the introduction, the lead, he was biking, climbing and exploring the canyon that he goes every weekend.
He enjoys every single activity. He brings a camcorder and camera around during his trip.
He even took a picture of himself after falling from the bike.

127 hours = ?? Days
127/24 = 5.29 (2 d.p.)

Yes... 5 days.

So what is about this 5 days?

5 days of survival & self reflections.


The story is based on a true life experience of Aron Ralston's.
He was stuck between a boulder and a hard place.

He did a video diary using his camcorder. 
Making use of his equipments and layout every single items and he thinks of solution to resolve the crisis.

After realising hsi effort of chipping the boulder is ful
Eventually he self amputated his limb, using a dull knife, in order to escape for his life.
During the 127 hours, he endure through the shortage of food and water and also the hallucinations at a later part.
The attempt of amputating is horror and pain.

For outdoor lovers, pack the right things in the backpack.
For outgoing people, keep your loved ones informed of your whereabout.

After the incident, he live his life normally, formed his family, continue his outdoor activities despite he lost his limb and he will always left a note behind.
