A very good movie

Since I'm a huge fan of Danny Boyle's work, of course, I really wanted to check this check this flick. Furthermore, the buzz surrounding this movie was also quite intriguing so I was expecting a lot from the damned thing. First of all, this movie is based on an amazing story and even if the movie would have sucked, the story in itself would still be amazing. Then, my first impression was that I was actually rather distracted by the uplifting music at the beginning of the movie but I guess the music didn't represent the audience state of mood ("something terrible is going to happen...") but the main character's state of mood ("I'm going to have a great week-end!"). A part from that, the whole thing was rather quite impressive. Indeed, I'm still shaken up... The directing by Danny Boyle, as usual, was really good and, once again, James Franco showed that he is one of the most interesting actors at work nowadays. Basically, they succeeded in making you share Aaron's feelings in his terrible ordeal. However, it is definitely not for everyone because there were some really shocking scenes but still, it remains one of the best movies that came out in 2010, at least, that's my opinion.
