127 Hours: Pity Anyone Who Falls Alone (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10)

In 127 Hours, Aron Ralston is trapped alone in a canyon, arm pinned by a boulder. For five days he faces death in isolation. The film flashes to memories of community he took for granted—family, friends, a woman he loved carelessly. "Two are better than one... if either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up!" Aron fell, and no one knew. His survival required self-amputation—a horror that community might have prevented. The canyon taught what normal life obscured: we need each other.
