No, not aaron, i mean the helicopter. How did it get there so fast? Just another good danny boyle movie.
sharebecause at the end of the movie after the escape it would be pointless to have him sitting there for the duration of time it took for the copter to there. Time elapse.
To Boldly Go Where Phil Coulson Has Gone Before
Have you ever wondered why, when someone prepares a meal in a film, we don't see them preparing it for 90 minutes?
Have you ever wondered why, when someone hops on a plane to cross the Atlantic, the flight never takes 7 hours?
Did you wonder why the film 127, which depicts 127 hours, only took two hours to see?
Wow that would be boring. It just seemed like the frantic, dramatic pace of the end rescue sequence was interrupted by the chopper showing up so quickly. Cutaway and shot of the video cam broke up the time changes while he was stuck by the rock. In the end, there wasnt a lighting change or chopper POV shot with radio chatter indicating that they were on their way.
shareLess, actually, what makes your point even stronger :)
shareIt actually only took an hour and 34 minutes.
shareIn real life, rescuers were really looking for Aron Ralston. His mother managed to figure out where he was going even though he never told anyone. The hikers that he met at the end had been told by rescue workers to look for him. The helicopter was also looking for him. They had rescuers out in the area at the insistence of his mother.
"I'm not A1nut because I'm normal...."
From his accounts he walked for four hours so when he was seen in the spot by the family, hours had passed so the chopper arriving then made perfect sense.
shareThank you, A1nut. That's right. The helicopter came the same afternoon as his self-rescue.
Hours, not minutes, but certainly in time to save him.
Get to the choppa!!
