127 Hours

There are a million things to love about this movie---James Franco's performance, the landscape, the ideas that animate it. But best of all is that a master director is at work, someone who knows how to use the art form. The movie is more than just a script read by actors in a setting. Danny Boyle creates something that could never been created in another medium. From his opening images of crowds of people (which represent everything the main character is fleeing) to the character's hallucinations to the use of editing and camera angles to give symbolic meaning to small details, the director's work is evident but never superfluous or showy. I'm ready to see this movie again!
