127 Hours Blog Post

There is no force more powerful than the will to live."  This quote is an essential part of the movie 127 hours, as well as the will of being able to survive.  This quote is very true.  We may not think  that the will to survive is the most powerful until we are presented with a life threatening situation.  Then we realize that we will do anything to survive,  as represented by the movie 127 Hours.  Aron Ralston had to cut of his arm to survive.  

The quote, "when something happens , it's a trauma, but we decide if its going to be a tragedy or a triumph."  It an essential part of the movie because Aron Ralston did not give up and as painful as it is, he cut his arm off to keep himself alive.  In his case the trauma became a triumph. It also reminds me of how no matter what, at the end, your destiny is in your own hands.   

The movie 127 hours, was very good in providing the suspense needed in a survival drama.  I felt that it kept me bound till the end, and it made me feel the pain that Aron felt during his fight for survival.  I find it amazing that some people can get out of such situations.  It makes me wonder if Aron Ralston was a case of bad or good luck.   It was bad luck, because he got stuck in the place, and good luck  because he survived and got out.  I also wonder if I have the will to do the same thing he did by cutting off his arm.  


I have learned that I will never go exploring alone in the desert.
