We saw 127 Hours at the theater. It's the movie about the climber who had a boulder fall on his hand in the middle of Nowhere, Utah - and who had to cut off his hand and most of his forearm to free himself before he died of dehydration.
It's not the most comfortable movie to sit through. If you happen to have any claustrophobia, it's not easy watching this guy stay wedged in one spot in a crevice for 5 days while he tries to survive. Also, if you're squeamish about self-executed dismemberment, you might be tempted to look away at a certain point.
With those little caveats, let me add that it is beautifully filmed, and quite inspirational.
In a choice between life and limb,
it all came down to him.
