This movie was disturbing to me. It was cool to watch him run through all of the trails. I have actually went through trails like that before. With just a guidebook, its hard to know where you are going. They can be dangerous, with no safety devices installed. It's scary to think that doing something he loved changed his life so drastically. The movie seemed really well made and realistic. The director had a great sense of the human mind, and tried to portray it in the film through Aron's flashbacks and memories. The phrase "There is no force more powerful than the will to live." is increasingly evident in the movie. His survival challenge seemed almost impossible to me, but Aron's desire to live shown in the flashbacks helped him realize that he could overcome his injury and survive. I don't think I could cut my own arm off, that seems way to scary to me. Somehow, Aron found the desire to accomplish it anyway, and saved himself. I could only imagine the thoughts of the other hikers that helped save him. I would have been totally grossed out, but I would have tried to help him. Another thing that comes to my mind is the amount of pain Aron went through. A giant rock smashed his arm. What does that feel like? Did he eventually loose feeling in his arm? I hope so, or he would have been in excruciating pain when he cut his arm off.
