April 29 - 127 Hours

Today’s movie is a drama with scenes that happen on April 29. I hope you will enjoy this film and watch it tonight.

127 HOURS       

Aron Ralston goes to a hiking trip to Utah’s Canyonlands National Park. He meets two girls Kristi and Megan and they spend sometime together diving into an underground pool. After they part Aron travels through Blue John Canyon, but he slips and a rock falls, crushing his arm and trapping him. As he suffers from thirst and loss of blood, he begins to hallucinate about his family, the two girls he just met and a former girlfriend. On April 29, 2003 [56:02 to 1:02:26] Aron spends another day trapped in the canyon. Two days later he sees a vision of a little blond boy, who he thinks is his future son. This gives him the strength to break his arm bones and cut off his arm, allowing him to escape from the canyon.  He is rescued and recovers. Aron gets married and has a son.

A very intense film. This is the type of film that makes me cringe.

The film starts on April 25, 2003, a Friday (4:14–4:17), so Tuesday (56:02) is April 29. He gets stuck on April 26, which is day one so day four is the 29th as per Between a Rock and a Hard Place by Aron Ralston (Atria Books, New York, 2004) at page 187-213
