"127 Hours", the newest film from Danny Boyle ("Slumdog Millionaire"), is the movie version of the real incident in 2003 where Aron Rolston got his arm stuck in a rock while hiking in the mountains. The 127 hours that the film is titled after refer to the amount of time Mr. Rolston was stuck there, until he finally freed himself by amputating his arm with a pocket knife. Well, apparently for some, watching a man amputate his own right-arm was a little too gruesome, because on three different occasions where the film has been shown, someone in the audience has fainted. I haven't seen the film myself, so I can't give you my personal warning on how graphic it is, but for the very squeamish, this may be one Oscar hopeful they will have to skip (or at least close their eyes on certain parts).
