Rock on!
reported in his films of British director Danny Boyle always of isolation, exclusion of a small group from the rest of society. Be it an exclusive and eccentric residential community in Shallow Grave , junkies in Trainspotting , a pair of lovers on the run in A Life Less Ordinary , A backpacker community in The Beach survivors of a zombie pandemic 28 Days Later , two children with spontaneous wealth Millions , astronauts on the world rescue mission in Sunshine or Indian street children in search of love in Slumdog Millionaire . Boyle never staged this theme of isolation so consistent and obvious, as in his latest adventure, drama 127 Hours .

After his directing Oscar two years ago, Boyle in the A-League may advance Hollywood, where budgets run in the nine-digit range. Such was the Briton among other things, the staging the new Bond film in conversation, but bad experiences with The Beach Boyle should continue to put people off from the blockbuster movies. Instead, he took advantage of the career of the Oscar push, push through a story he already wanted to tell for years: The story of Aron Ralston. As a trained mechanical engineer and avid mountain climber in May 2003 on a weekend hike in the Blue John Canyon in Utah broke up, he was almost never returned.
The story of a man for over five days: was (more precisely 127 hours) trapped by a rock and threatened to starve to death, is now in the absence Interaction and action not just of great interest. And yet it manages to Boyle 127 Hours to deliver a gripping and intense drama, which is all the more remarkable because the output of the scenario is known. Degenerates into a passing raven flying here and 15 minutes of morning sunshine, not only for Aron Ralston (James Franco) a happening. That through the canyon onrushing beam Ralston, in view of his situation even bestowed an admiring smile, the figure characterizes quite well.
Early on, he begins to divide its water supply and cursed his extra bottle of Gatorade in the car and his Swiss Army knives have left at home. Ralston is an adventurer who spends his weekends alone in nature rather than with his girlfriend Rana (Clémence Poésy). The flashbacks that Boyle gives his protagonist, shows an ambivalent picture of him. He seems his father (Treat Williams), the love due to the canyons, calls his mother (Kate Burton), he never returned and Rana makes it silently during a basketball game final. It is as tense all this from the extroverted Ralston, who lives only for its nature excursions.
When he lost at the beginning of the friends Kristi (Kate Mara) and Megan (Amber Tamblyn) is true Although he spends several hours with them, but Kristi says if in passing, that they have probably stopped him rather lies close to the truth. The price for his egomania Ralston charged at the latest when a detached boulder trapped his right forearm. The flashbacks, as well as records on his digital camera to interrupt, managed the dramatic situation. They bring a really close but not the main character, although does not unsympathetic to their liberation, but rather to their wishes, because you want to see anyone end this way.
same time, plays James Franco (although only a second choice of the director) the lively Ralston with an equally lively performance. It is logical and consistent that depends on its representation of the success of the film, there are no scenes in which he can not see. Audiovisual is 127 Hours here as most movies Boyles a pleasure, even if the split screen method at the beginning if its length and striking illustration of the movie theme (Society of the masses vs. Isolation of Ralston) would like less may fall. Similarly, with Ralston's hallucinations caused by dehydration, of which particularly brings his sister (Lizzy Caplan) no added value.
Where Boyles Mumbai-tale to Feel Good Movie of the decade was decried, this title would, at least in his oeuvre rather 127 Hours . "He went in there broken, and came out whole," the director himself sees the catharsis of his character that saw the first in a mountain gorge, what went wrong in their lives. Is the film just sprout in his agonizing climax, hopefully, the life-rich red-brown tones of the images otherwise joy. 127 Hours with Danny Boyle a sometimes amusing, and largely succeeded intense drama of an adventurous romance, beautifully packaged audio visual and garnished with a stirring performance of the main character.
