This is the much awaited movie, directed by the British Indie film maker "Danny Boyle".I guess this crew is very much used to get nominated for the academy awards.Last time around , for the most bugging Bollywood masala, "Slumdog Millionaire" , they won 8 Oscars, and now for this this , its nominated for 8 academy awards.The Mozart Of Madras , A.R.Rahman makes us proud again by getting nominated for the best original score.IMDB rates this movie 8.2/10.
This movie is based on the autobiography, "Between a rock and a hard place" written by Boyle and Simon Beaufoy.The film stars James Franco as real-life mountain climber Aron Ralston , who got trapped by a boulder in Robbers Roost,Utah , for more than 127 hours before dissecting his hand with a dull "China Knife". I must say that James Franco has done perfect justice to his director. During this long span of 127 hours he examines his life and survives the elements to finally discover that he has the courage to save himself by any means.At the end of 127 hours he amputates his trapped arm to save his life.Small nuances in the film were admirable, but what ever may be the case , How long can u watch a person in the same place shouting in agony ? and hence I say it should have been a short film.
I'am a hard core fan of A.R.Rahman , but felt nothing astonishing in his works for this movie.Some background scores of Ravanan were slightly herd.When compared to his works for Our Indian Director genius,"Mani Ratnam", I guess "Danny Boyle" is a little unlucky.But very happy that Rahman got nominated this time too...
Bottom Line-
This movie is watchable once, but fails to satisfy the hype that it created.If you go to the theater with the mind set, mapping out its Oscar nominations and hype it created, you would end up in disappointment.
