After the expanded screening of "127 Hours", although the subject matter is slightly niche, it will definitely not be able to create a real big hit.
But in comparison, it can be regarded as a double success in terms of word-of-mouth and box office.
Especially for a newcomer like Li Bin, it can be said that this answer sheet is perfect.
The reviews from movie fans are very good, and the score on the Popular Film Critics website is over 8. As a first film, it can be said to be a high score.
"I just finished watching this movie. It started at zero o'clock, so I felt a little sleepy. After seeing the protagonist falling into the canyon and getting stuck on rocks, I started to think of the title, 127 hours. Does it mean that you have to be stuck for 127 hours before you can be rescued? Or
I counted it for 5 days and 7 hours, and I couldn’t sleep at all while watching it. I watched it carefully and now I am still in the mood to leave a comment. To be honest, it really shocked me. I felt immersed in the whole process.
, every struggle, every time cutting stones, every time drinking water, every shouting, every time drinking urine, that helplessness, suffocation, and despair are deeply engraved in my heart!
I can't help but wonder, what would happen to me if I were trapped inside? I'm afraid I won't last two days before I'm enveloped in despair and won't survive the sunrise on the third day.
It was really immersive. I always thought that someone might find him in the end, such as those two women!
But the result was unexpected. It was entirely up to the male protagonist to save himself. When the male protagonist had hallucinations and saw his childhood self walking away from him, he separated again, struggled to break his hand bones, and then used a dull knife to cut off the necrotic arm.
I almost held my arm and gritted my teeth to watch the whole process. I personally don’t like bloody movies very much, and this part was almost outside of my previous viewing range. But after I finished watching it, my heartbeat speeded up unconsciously.
I finally cut off my arm and got out of the trap. I thought I was rescued, but I didn't know there was still a cliff waiting for him.
It's so cruel. When he went down to the cliff and drank the water that looked like a sewer, I didn't feel dirty or disgusting at all.
Finally, when I met a passerby, I was so moved that I almost cried. I was really...sorry for my limited education and I don’t know how to describe it. I can’t describe the feeling of being reborn. Anyway, I burst into tears.
I don’t know what you think of this movie. It doesn’t matter whether you talk about the shooting techniques, why you didn’t cut off the arm earlier, or the main storyline. It doesn’t matter. What matters is that the male protagonist did it. This spirit, this
A kind of resilience... Life is fragile and small, but life is tough and great.
Never give up hope of living at any time, and do whatever it takes to survive, even if you have to lose the most important thing.
Anyway, it looks good!”
Film critic Liu Fei also wrote a long review: ""127 Hours" is a heart-wrenching anxiety, pain, and despair that makes people follow the protagonist. For me who is keen on adventure, it is even more empathetic and painful.
The feeling is easier to assimilate.
There are many microscopic and detailed expressions in the film, such as the depiction of ants, the description of the inside of a kettle, the details of cutting an arm... An eagle flew by, and the protagonist Allen even had the idea to ask for help from the eagle. This detail is particularly real and natural.
etc.
Realistic help and self-rescue, and several fantasy ways of being rescued, complement each other. If any one is missing, you will feel that time has stopped. That is to say, the various elements that can be expressed are cleverly arranged to make the film smooth and coherent.
sex.
On the third day that Allen was trapped, he gradually began to turn from anger to depression, so he used video to cheer himself up, hoping to record his last moments so that he would not die forever in an unknown place.
.
During this period, he entertained himself by performing a TV show. The director cleverly asked Allen to play several roles, not only showing his life background, family and friends, etc. through entertainment, but also highlighting a helpless situation.
My tip is, “Before venturing, you must explain your whereabouts to your family and friends.”
The end of the film also adds a finishing touch: "Aaron still hasn't forgotten his hobby of adventure and has gone out rock climbing many times... However, every time he goes out, he will tell others where he went." What a lovely text.
He is not the Count of Monte Cristo, nor is he the male protagonist in the novel. He has no way to meet an expert at the bottom of the valley and learn magical skills. He has no unexpected adventures, nor can he get help from God or angels. He can only rely on himself.
When he cut off his arm, I thought of two people. One was the strange doctor Black Jack in Osamu Tezuka's comics, who cut and transplanted himself, and the other was Guan Yu. History records show that he scraped bones to heal his wounds and talked and laughed freely.
There is no unnecessary nonsense in the whole movie. In the first five minutes, you directly embark on the journey, and it ends with you escaping and being rescued by the rescue team. You can watch it in one go, unless you feel suffocated and panicked while watching the movie.
Apart from pausing to take a breath, there is almost no place where you want to pause.
Even though Allen recalled and fantasized about many plots in other environments while surviving, he still combined work and rest, and was well interspersed, allowing people to experience the scene while still thinking about life. This is what Allen gained in 127 hours.
The true meaning of life.
He experienced the meaning of life, knew the value of family love, understood what a happy life is like, and how happy it is to have a beautiful wife and lovely son! So in the ending, the narration told everyone: He finally realized his dream
When he did, we also received comfort and blessed him.
As an adventure enthusiast, I have both high respect and complaints about this film. First of all, I would like to praise Director Li Yi and Director Li Bin for their material selection and shooting skills, especially the difficulty of shooting in the Gobi desert, as well as the far and near perspective.
The switching is complicated. Xu Hao's acting skills are also amazing.
Also, the director did not follow the usual route of a drama. In the opening scene, he arranged for him to meet two beauties who were also on the expedition. After a brief acquaintance, they hurriedly parted ways. Knowing the general plot, I thought that the director would arrange for these two beauties to come together.
Finally met Allen.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, the director is unique and did not spend any time on them. It can be seen that they are really just passers-by. This plot setting is more in line with authenticity. After all, that kind of coincidental acquaintance
The reunion is too dramatic and inappropriate for the format of this film.
Let’s talk about where the complaints come from. For me, who loves and looks forward to adventure, watching this movie is undoubtedly a psychological challenge for me. If I put myself in his shoes, if it were me and the same thing happened to him,
What would I do?
Can you think of so many ways to escape and save yourself?
Can it support its body for up to 127 hours?
When I am desperate, can I endure the physical and psychological pain and cut open my arm, break the bones in my hand, and amputate my arm?
I don't have to be in that kind of environment. Even if I calm down and think about it now, I can't answer rationally whether it is yes or no.
Because I’m just a human being, and although I think I’m very brave, I can’t compare to the protagonist’s cruelty and bravery. Under such circumstances, it’s natural for me to feel flustered and hesitate.”
Unlike Liu Fei's film reviews, his wife Chen Jingning's film reviews have a different perspective.
“Movies are a highly concentrated form of artistic expression that require telling a complete story or several interwoven stories in more than two hours. A good movie can make full use of every second and every frame.
It not only expresses the central idea of the film, but also catches the audience's attention, and also pays attention to the overall beauty of the picture. Most films have complex character relationships, but the director of this film has unique thinking. In "127 Hours"
"In ", he eliminated complex character relationships, and only the male protagonist spent three-quarters of the film. The male protagonist's dangerous situation was shown through the male protagonist's self-talk, actions, facial expressions and surrounding environment.
and self-redemption.
From the very beginning, the film uses montage techniques to intersperse and combine a large number of fragmented pictures, presenting them in a fast-paced manner, accompanied by a cool light rock theme song.
As soon as the male protagonist appears, he is hurriedly packing up his things. He quickly packed up and got ready to go. He only brought the necessary items for hiking, not even his mobile phone. This quickly made the audience understand that the male protagonist Allen is impulsive, passionate, flamboyant, and adventurous.
The character also paved the way for the subsequent development of the story. Next is the state of Allen setting off on the road. He pedaled hard on the mountain bike and was so excited that he couldn't help shouting at the sky from time to time. The fanatical emotions flowed from every part of his body.
A pore swelled and rushed towards the mountains, rivers, deserts, and all places far away from the crowd that he loved.
Three-quarters of the film's time and shots only show the male protagonist's face and the desert, but the audience does not feel bored. This should be attributed to the director's use of lenses and music.
When Allen was running on the road, moving shots and fast-paced rock music were used. Long shots and close shots were interspersed with each other. There were also a lot of long shots, which only showed the desolate desert, reflecting the isolation and helplessness that the male protagonist was about to face.
The environment pushed the male protagonist to a desperate situation step by step. But the moment Allen jumped into the canyon, the "stable" boulder stuck in the gap of the canyon suddenly fell and pressed heavily on Allen's right arm, knocking Allen down.
Lun's arm was stuck.
This posed a fatal threat to the adventurous Allen. He was trapped in the canyon and could not escape. Amidst the mixture of shock, confusion, anger, helplessness and other complex emotions, Allen tried all the methods he could think of and took advantage of him.
Even with all the tools he could use, he still couldn't get rid of this "damn broken rock".
Allen, who was strong and optimistic, gradually became frustrated. He took out his mobile phone and recorded his dilemma and mood. His video records each time also reflected the changes in his mood, from optimistic and fearless at the beginning to embarrassed and depressed in the middle.
From the subsequent out-of-control despair to the final gentleness and calmness, this transformation process nakedly exposes Allen's dilemma to the public eye, and also explores the meaning of human existence and the relationship between man and nature.
Trapped in a canyon, not only do you have to face problems such as lack of water, lack of food, and temperature differences between day and night, but you may also face sudden natural disasters and attacks by wild beasts. But what is even more terrifying is loneliness, an uninhabited desert everywhere, and a barren Gobi.
, and the only crow that I could hope for, which flew by at nine o'clock every morning, also missed the promise and did not show up on the most desperate day.
Allen's gradually turning blue arms hint at his deteriorating physical condition, and his unkempt appearance is in sharp contrast to the energetic appearance at the beginning.
What is touching is that when the sun rose one morning and the sunlight poured into the canyon, Allen was so excited that he almost shed tears. He quickly took off the sock of one foot and stretched his foot to a place with sunlight.
And he touched the rock wall where the sun had stayed with his hands. These fifteen minutes of sunshine every day illuminated Allen's faith, which is the faith to live. And Allen missed his girlfriend, family, friends and travelers he met on the way all the time.
These were all reasons for him to keep going. He even imagined what his future son would look like, and the two of them sat side by side on the top of the mountain and watched the scenery.
For the sake of the people he loved and the people who loved him, Allen decided to live. After going through five days and five nights of suffering, he endured the severe pain and spent more than an hour breaking the bones and tying them with sweatpants.
He used a tourniquet on his arm and cut off his right forearm from the elbow with a knife to escape. One detail here is that when Allen was about to run out of the canyon, he looked back at the boulder and recorded it with his camera. He was serious
He said "thank you" instead of "goodbye". It was the appearance of this boulder that changed Allen's attitude towards life and made him understand more that the meaning of life is to be with family and friends, to accompany and to share.
Instead of going alone.
At the end of the film, Allen was successfully rescued. Although he lost an arm, he gained love and family. He struggled out of the water and swam out. What came into view were all the people who loved him, occupying the entire scene.
, at that moment, all the suffering was worth it.
This movie is actually a metaphor, a metaphor for life. Suddenly trapped, trapped in a certain situation. There are two choices before you. One is to wait for death slowly, but you can escape the intense pain. For example, in the film, you have to wait for death slowly.
One way to cut off one's own arm is to actively endure the pain of a broken arm and then gain freedom.
This kind of thing is very common in life and is not a distant story!
For example, when I had a toothache, I didn’t like going to the dentist, so I kept carrying the toothache. Then I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I mustered up the courage to go to the dentist. I still had to face some pain, mainly due to psychological fear, maybe because the tooth was broken when I was a child.
, it was too painful when I went to the clinic to have my teeth repaired, and I had a strong fear of the sound of the electric drill. When I went through a series of treatments and solved all the oral problems, I felt unprecedentedly relaxed and comfortable.
And I heard from doctors that the more serious the tooth is, the more difficult it is to treat it. When the problem reaches deep into the root of the tooth, bacteria will enter the blood circulation and have a greater impact on the body!
Faced with the problem of broken teeth and the need to see a dentist, we have to face the same choice as the male protagonist in "127 Hours", or endure the pain for a few days without going to the dentist.
, faced with short-term and intense pain and fear, either choose to go to the dentist, experience short-term intense pain and fear, and then gain "oral freedom."
In fact, if you find a better dental clinic now, the physical pain is not much, it is mainly psychological.
Why is it said that there is more psychological pain?
Because when you really solve all the problems and walk out of the dental clinic, you will have a feeling that it is not a big deal and is not as unbearable as you imagined.
This is true for broken teeth, and it is true for many other things. For example, when faced with a job you don’t like, you have the same two choices: either continue to stay in it and endure moderate long-term discomfort, or muster up the courage to resign and face the short-term.
Strong uncertainty and fear, but being able to start a new life and gain a certain degree of freedom. For example, facing an inappropriate marriage, there are two choices: either not to change and endure long-term discomfort, or to muster the courage to end the relationship and face
It is a short-term intense pain, but it can start a new life!
So why do I recommend this movie? Because I think it is precisely because the vast majority of ordinary people, when faced with two choices, often lack the courage to choose the option that they have endured for a long time but do not need to change for the time being. They do not have the courage to choose to face the pain and gain gains.
The freedom of choice is why this movie is so exciting and inspiring."
