Danny Boyle is the perfect man for a film about the will to live. His movies are filled with bursting images of life that always manage to keep viewers actively engaged no matter what the subject matter, even when that subject matter happens to be a man trapped next to a rock for 127 hours. Of course the star of the film need's to be praised as well, and James Franco does a great job of portraying a man who while choosing to survive by putting himself through an unimaginable horror also must make the choice of shedding some pride in order to see himself for who he really is. Looking back on their career's in thirty or so years, 127 Hours may end up to be one of the clearest examples of both men's exceeding talents at making something one dimensional into something multifaceted. A testament to the extraordinary gifts of both. A
