"Danny Boyle has said that he wants audiences to leave his latest film 127 Hours with a feeling of euphoria. Speaking at the London Film Festival, Boyle said that climber Aron Ralston - played by James Franco - had &amp;quot;profound&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;deep&amp;quot; experiences while fighting to free himself from underneath a boulder in the mountains of Utah. &amp;quot;There is an extraordinary, very profound and deep sense of euphoria in getting out of there. Life being given back again,&amp;quot; the Oscar-winning director said. &amp;quot;James&amp;#039;s acting of that pain, that process he goes through - not just in the arm-cutting scene - the whole thing, it is an extraordinary empathetic thing that takes you to a place that you do feel very vulnerable in.&amp;quot; Boyle revealed that he and Franco discussed the pain experienced by women giving birth as something to compare Ralston&amp;#039;s ordeal to. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve had three kids and I&amp;#039;ve been there for each of [the births] and the first one was an extraordinary thing that I&amp;#039;ll never forget,&amp;quot; Boyle explained. &amp;quot;I tried to talk to James about the way women go through a plateau of pain way beyond anything guys will ever feel, so we tried to get into that territory.&amp;quot; He continued: &amp;quot;It is very disturbing, but also worth so much more than the suffering that&amp;#039;s involved. We always wanted the end of the journey to feel like a passageway to something that was much great than what was left behind.&amp;quot; 127 Hours closed last night&amp;#039;s BFI London Film Festival and will open in the UK on January 7 next year. &amp;gt; Click here for our complete coverage of the London Film Festival "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
