- Alternative Character Interpretation: Is Aron a hero who exemplifies the strength of the human will to survive, an idiot who paid a very dear price for a stupid mistake, or both at once?
- Awesome Music: Festival by Sigur Ros
springs to mind. The music alone makes the last scene of the movie extremely touching, heartwarming and awesome all at the same time. Catharsis, indeed. - It Was His Sled: Aron cuts off his own arm. Being based off a true story, it's pretty much the only reason why this movie exists. It's so ubiquitous that the film Deadpool referenced it by Deadpool saying "Have you ever seen 127 Hours? Spoiler alert." before cutting off his own (regenerating) arm.
- Nausea Fuel:
- Yes, Aron is eventually forced to drink his own urine.
- While the entirety of the arm-cutting is bad, the specific final bit where he has to cut through his upper-arm nerve cords is a whole other level of nausea punctuated with a loud static noise to simulate how it feels. Just *try* not to feel a bit light-headed after seeing that.
- After he frees himself, he's so desperate for water that he drinks water from a stagnant pool with tons of dead bugs in it.
- Signature Scene: Aron being forced to amputate his own arm.
