"I'm autistic and 127 Hours has been my special interest for nearly 15 years,"
"I've watched it 1K times, at least. I love it more than anything in the world and it brings me so much joy."
"Jess, in making a film the director watches it hundreds of times. I was so delighted - and continue to be so - that you have done the same! We'd had a big success with Slumdog Millionaire, and it was only that success that brought the finance to 127 - no one wants to watch a film about a man cutting his own arm off - they said. The film holds a very special place for me and I'm honoured it does for you"
Jess, username 127hoursgirl, has watched 127 Hours over 1,000 times and identifies the film as her special interest for nearly 15 years. She is autistic and credits the movie with bringing her immense joy. She participated in an Ask Me Anything with director Danny Boyle and told him how meaningful the film is to her; Boyle promised to send a card. Months later, a Reddit employee contacted Boyle's team and a package arrived containing a signed original crew T-shirt, two film-poster cards, and handwritten notes from Boyle referencing Slumdog Millionaire and his honor that the film holds a special place for her.
