127 Hours

This past week i had time to sit down and watch movie for the first time in weeks. A friend chose the movie 127 hours. I've seen a lot of movies in my life time and few have left me wanting more. This movie is brilliant and inspiring. It's a movie i would probably never own because once you've seen it, you've seen it all but i've spent the past day watching video's on youtube to learn more about the guy. The movie is a documentary on the life of Aron Ralston, a guy who chose to go hiking in the canyons of southern Utah and not tell anyone where he was going. After being out there on his own for 4 hours he starting climbing down into one of the crevasses. He put all of his weight on one of the boulders not realizing that it was unstable, causing his arm to be lodged between the canyon and boulder. After 6 days and drinking his own urine he realized he had to do whatever it took to survive, which meant cutting off his arm. With a 2 inch dull bladed pocket knife his pieced his skin and cut each tendon and even the nerve. Watching him in different interviews gave me a  respect for the guy like no other. Seeing him describe the feeling of being free after 6 days gave me chills and i suggest that everyone go and watch it.
