WARNING: This is a SUPER long review; it's kind of a very long account of what my thoughts were during the entire book. "We are not grand because we are at the top of the food chain or because we can alter our environment - the environment will outlast us with its unfathomable forces and unyielding powers. But rather than be bound and defeated by our insignificance, we are bold because we exercise our will anyway, despite the ephemeral and delicate presence we have in this desert, on this planet, in this universe." When I first open this book I took notice of the prologue, a short story about Blue John, its informative and interesting enough to keep my mind alive and then Aron's story begins. It's surprisingly well written for a non-writer and I am immediately immersed in his surroundings and thoughts, nothing is left out and I can almost feel what Aron is feeling. It's sensational. By the third page I've already come across a quote that I like and I immediately write it down. “It adds up, but I deem it all necessary, even the camera gear. I enjoy photographing the otherworldly colors and shapes presented in the convoluted depths of slot canyons and the p
The Disturbing True Story Behind Danny Boyle's ' Hours'
Summary
Hours captures the harrowing true story of mountaineer Aron Ralston's fight for survival against all odds.
The film's attention to detail and accuracy, although some dramatic elements were added for impact, is highly praised.
Director Danny Boyle's inventive storytelling makes Hours a powerful film about resilience and the triumph of the human spirit.
Danny Boyleis without a doubt one of the most inventive filmmakers working today, as he often chooses to work within many different genres. While Boyle started his career working on low budget character pieces like the crime thriller Shallow Graveand the disturbing coming-of-age drama Trainspotting, he took a stab at genre projects with the highly influential zombie thriller 28 Days Later and the thought-provoking space epic Sunshine. Boyle’s expertise in retaining emotional authenticity, regardless of subject, made him perfectly suited for biographical projects. Boyle’s awards-nominated drama Hoursis based on the inspiring true story of the mountaineer Aron Ralston.
In , Aron Ralston went hiking in Utah. But while he was climbing down a narrow slot in Blue John Canyon, a boulder became dislodged, crushing his right forearm and pinning it against the wall. For five and a half days, Ralston struggled to get free, contemplating his own fate, until he was forced to do the unthinkable. One hundred and twenty seven hours into his ordeal, he amputated his arm. Now, British filmmaker Danny Boyle has chronicled the events that day in a new film. Here, Ralston tells WideWorld his incredible story of survival against the odds.
Out of the grave
I realised early on that I was going to have to cut my arm off to get free but there was also resistance: I didn&#;t want to think about it. I didn&#;t want to do it. But by the second day I was already figuring out how I could do it, so in the film you see that progression: trying to cut into the arm like a saw – back and forth – then by the fourth day being able to stab into the arm, finding the tourniquet, then the realisation that the knife was too dull to get through the bone. That despair was followed by a kind of peace; a realisation that I was going to die there an
Surviving the Impossible: The True Story of " Hours"
Aron Ralston's Harrowing Ordeal
In April , a routine hiking trip turned into a harrowing tale of survival for mountaineer Aron Ralston.

Ralston's unwavering determination and will to live ultimately led him to make an unimaginable decision. After exhausting all other options, he resorted to amputating his own arm using a dull multi-tool.
