Don't forget about 127 Hours

[Legacywr]

On Ch4 at 9pm.

I haven't seen it, so I'm really looking forward to it!

[richinleeds]

I'm surprised this is on so soon thanks for the heads up.

[Lurking Lawyer]

No idea this was on TV so quickly - thanks for the heads-up!

Shame I missed the start so can"t record it on 4HD but at least can catch it on 4+1

[Legacywr]

It's a Film4 production, or along those lines anyway!

[Eighteeteewhy]

Seen it before but going to have a go. Adverts may put me off though

[YorkshirePudding]

Read the book, first time I've seen the film.

[PumpkinSteve]

Watching. James Franco is a great actor, looking forward to seeing the scene.

[Eighteeteewhy]

Very good, brilliant acting. Takes a good director to make a film that pretty much stars only one person. 9/10

[Legacywr]

Meh

[Phil Dicky]

Yep very good, though the 'scene' isn't easy to watch

[AMv8 dreamer]

That was good!

[Eighteeteewhy]

Chris Moyles quiz night.....time to turn over

even more so when the location is pretty much a rock in a hole!

Was very good indeed. However, considering 'the' scene was fairly graphic I would have thought some of his dreams / dellusions would have been darker too.

I didn't think it was all that graphic. Danny showed us just enough to tell us that the boy done well to first of all snap the bones and then the difficulty in dealing with the meat with such a crappy tool, especially the likes of tough tendons.
Could not even imagine doing the job with the good knife he left in the kitchen but I'd hope not be in that do or die situation.

I'm wondering if some of the more graphic shots were taken out for TV. But I didn't find it that bad to watch.

It was a fairly tedious film though. I understand this was a real life situation and it was a horrible experience. I didn't like how it was shot and it seemed to drag on. Suppose there isn't much to do with someone stuck in 1 place for 127 hours...

[eybic]

I've seen it before and was really impressed that for about an hour, he is in the chasm (?sp?) and yet it is still really addictive watching.

I found Touching the Void to be very similar and a lot better. 127hrs was pretty tedious and the main character was annoying, so much so I didn't really care what happened to him.

[Rugbyman]

But but but ....the question it left with me was ..... could I cut my own arm off ?






Answer ..... No

I'm glad it wasnt just me then! Up until the rock incident.. but then some empathy developed.

..But is that not part of the story too?.. 'be a cocky, selfish hero and it costs you an arm and a...' well you all know the story.
