127 hours (don't read if you want to see the film and don't already know the story!!)

[skyhuck]

My wife and I went to see the film "127 hours" today, I already knew the story and had seen Aaron interviewed years ago not long after it had happened.

 

Basically we was climbing/canyoning, he had not told anyone where he was going, a large rock fell trapping his hand, he was trapped for 127, eventually he snapped the bones in his forearm and cut through the tissue with a very blunt knife to amputate his own arm, freeing him and saving his life.

 

Do you think you could do the same if it was that or die???

From what ive seen on the clips Looks a bit crap.If it cam down to me having to doing it then i think i would give up and kill myself

[Martyn Amos]

How did you rate the film Dave ?

 

Don't think I could do it.

Not the best film ever, but pretty good given a fairly limited story.

 

But I found it very, very thought provoking.

Jeeezz, Were his bones broken already? if not how did he break them?

I guess desperation and determination can make you do extrodinary things.

I saw the trailer last week, looks better than the film we ended up watching!

No mate, but his hand was trapped solid so he forced his arm until one bone broke and then did the other.

I remember readign about it when it happened. Then when I heard about the film I was suprised they could make a film about it, but thats filmaking I guess.

 

Touching the Void, would make a better film but all thewy did there was make a crappy docu-drama thingy with the real guys doing a voice over.

 

Was the actual guy in the film? And did he ever go back and get his hand?

I reckon if it was cut my arm off or die, I'd chop it off. I'd hope it was my left though!!

[dangerous brian]

To be honest after all that time i would have been that hungry i would have probably chewed me own arm off,brave guy though looks a good film.
