Badd Medicine here and its reaction time
Netflix's new film, Society of the Snow, is based on-like about half of Netflix's cinematic offerings nowadays-a true story. The movie is inspired by Flight 571, a plane that crashed in 1972, leaving a Uruguayan rugby team stranded in the Andes Mountains. Without food or water available. The survivors resort to drastic measures to stay alive.

What an impactful film. Having Numa as the narrator was a great choice for this film. What was your reaction? What did we miss?

Numa was the narrator because Bayona wanted to give the people who died a voice. It was a great choice. Thank you for watching the movie in the original language. Love from Argentina ❤
At the end, the person who was saying the name of the survivors over the radio. That was one of the survivors playing the role his father.
Some of the other survivors also pop up in other places, like at the airport at the beginning of the film.
@@jxchamb yes, Carlitos Paez!
@@cristinaolmos8403 Thanks. Couldn't recall his name off the top of my head. My memory is so horrible.
From J. Bayona, the same director of The Impossible.
Nando Parrado hit his head on the crash, and stayed in a coma for 3 days, he survived but lost his mother and his sister. Survived both the avalanches and started training to go find help for all the others, and not only he survived all that, he managed to walk for 10 days until finding Sergio Catalan by the river. Talk about mental strenght and will to survive. Just amazing.
His skull actually cracked, hence the dark circles around his eyes accurately depicted by the makeup dept, it's all astonishing really!
I've been sure of, that when he returned home, his father had remarried. Now I can't find information about it. If it's true, he found someone new pretty quickly after his wife disappeared/died.
@grumpysocks: 😳 Nonsense! They were missing in the Andes for about 2 months so how could anyone remarry that fast?? Nando's father was heartbroken and visited the crash site almost every year where his wife and daughter were buried. When he died, he requested his ashes be brought there to stay too. The one that remarried, but much later on, was the husband of the only couple who survived the crash. His wife, Lilliana, was extremely helpful and comforting to the group before she died in the avalanche.
@@pohanahawaiisorry, but yes , the dad sell his things and he was living with another person ( he was having a hard time too ) but this really happen is in Nando book even The following Christmas he spent alone in his cracked car waiting for hug time to end so he could go to Canessa's house.😢but Nando is amazing , He is a successful man in his life and business (I really admire his steely willfulness)❤
@@pohanahawaiiThat’s true, his father remarried and sold his stuff, in his book he says that the next year Christmas was the most difficult, he was all alone and wait till was 12pm to go to Roberto’s house (his family accepted and treated him like a son). His father was broken and his form to cope with that he though of leaving everything behind and that includes his son, he requested to be buried in the mountains with his wife and daughter (and he is) so he never could move on.
When Numa died, he actually had that note with him, that's such an amazing fact for me, in the movie it seems a bit over the top and like a narrative cliché to motivate the characters, but to know that Numa actually had the mental and emotional fortitude to leave that message for his friends is such a testament to the man he was.
omg i know!! when i read that part of the book i had a whole new appreciation for that scene because I’d just assumed they’d added it for dramatic effect but hearing he actually did do that just broke me. completely understand their devotion and love for him even to this day.
Numa writes the note because Javier Menthol tells him that even when he thinks he can't do more there is something he can do as his wife did when she died, that's why he does something even being dead, he knew that Roberto had a barrier in "giving to the other "(also shown in the football game) and needed an impulse to go out with Nando. It is honestly epic
@@pablopolis2011 Exactly! It's not by chance that Roberto makes up his mind after reading Numa's message.
Numa si escribió esa nota está en el museo de los Andes en Montevideo En la montaña hay una placa con esa frase de la Biblia Esa frase está en las camisetas del equipo de Fútbol donde jugaba
Numa Turcatti
IKR! The first thing I looked up to see if it was true was the note cause I really thought it was too good and poetic to be true. Numa was such an incredible person.
“Carlitos Miguel Paez, my son” The man who reads the survivors’ names at the end is played by Carlitos himself.
I loved this. The man who holds open the door for Nando and his family at the airport is the real Nando and when the survivors are walking into the hospital, the real Roberto is following the actor Roberto. It makes this movie so much more special!
Gustavo Zervino (the suitcase guy) did indeed stored all the letters and things of the deceased and when they got back to Uruguay gave everything back to the families of the deceased. He went from house to house and took him more than one month to do so.
Also The Impossible was made by the same director.
And to add, he was told that he couldn't take it with him, and he did in fact refused to leave it and said "I'm not leaving without this suitcase" 100% real
🥰 He said that was his life mission, to give a voice to the one they didn't survive. They 16 survivors are such an inspiration to keep on living the best way we can. I'm so glad that their story was told in the right way.
@@catireacts6550Sadly two of them passed away! 😢
“That day, we all 45 returned back home” - Gustavo Zervino.
@@jacquelinea.7575 Yes but I'm so happy that one of them got the chance to see it before it was showing. The director J.A. Bayona flew over to Uruguay to his house and show him the movie. Jose Luis Inciarte "Coche" gave Bayona thanks for finally tell the story right, before he pass away last year. I think that's very nice gesture to do. There is an interview from 2002 where all 16 talked about it, it was for the 30th Anniversary it was the first time all of them got together to talk about it publicly. You can find it here but is all in Spanish.
-Guys remember that the Andes are in South America, the seasons are backwards, the accident happened in spring and they were rescued at the beginning of summer.
Yeah! But is important to clarify that Spring in the Andes goes to 30 degrees BELOW Celsius (or Fahrenheit to that matter because they have similar numbers at that point), that is a cruel winter temperature in USA .
@@jacquelinea.7575 it seems they think that is winter time
Yes october-january its spring in chile obsly la cordillera had snow but it was melting thats why the avalanches, and thats why they where going to look for the bodies in fabruary bc snow would be melted in summer
Please! I was like ???? this it the other hemisphere??
"Spring" is relative for snowy regions. Spring in 4-seasons still has snow storms, April still is full of snow in the midwest. So I imagine the Andes also, "spring" still means they are still coming out of winter.
Fun fact: Some of the survivors were part of this movie. The Real Nando Parrado was the man in the airport who opens the door for the actor playing Nando and his family. The man reading back the names twice is the real Carlitos Páez, playing the role of his own father. And when the actor playing Roberto is walking into the hospital, the real Roberto Canessa is the doctor walking behind him, smiling.
Great trivia! Thanks for sharing!!
@@KrissyFacetambién se ve la verdadera casa de Numa Turcati que sale al principio con el actor q representa
and the real Daniel Fernandez was in the church at the beginning of the scene
More survivor cameos:
- Gustavo Zerbino (suitcase guy) was a rugby coach
- Coche Inciarte (Rest In Peace) was at the bar scene
- Antonio Vizintin (Tintin) and Moncho Sabella are extras at the airport.
Other cameos include:
- Joaquin de Freitas Turcatti, Numa’s nephew as Numa’s neighbor
Also, Roberto Canessa lent Matias Recalt (the actor) the actual clothes he wore in the mountains, but I’m not sure if they used them in the film
Thank you for these excellent special notes!
"he's terrified but he does it for the group" Roy Harley given some respect after Alive besmirched him.
Yeah in alive he is so childish and behave like a coward (the character obviously)
Alive did literally everything BUT respect the survivors and non survivors i swear, i already knew the story before watching Alive and i couldn't even finish it, there's a reason the survivors say Alive is a Disney version of the events
Alive was not so accurate. It was the Hollywood version of the story. This one is closer to what actually happened. The survivors said that
The movie's already the 2nd most watched non-English language movie in Netflix history & fully deserved its 2 Oscar noms (Best International Feature Film & Best Makeup and Hairstyling)!
Dude I cried so bad when they didn’t win. Like imagine a movie full of ROOKIE ACTORS winning not one but TWO Oscars😭
It absolutely should have won the Oscar.
It 100% deserved an Oscar. It's perfection, not just the writing, direction and acting but every single aspect of this film was done with 120% passion and you can tell. 😊
What’s the first?
@@Shellieruba A 2022 Norwegian monster film called Troll that's filming a sequel this year.
This film should have won the Oscar for Best International Feature Film.
Nando Parrado has a Ted Talk (2014) if you'd like hear about the experience from one of the survivors. czcams.com/video/yd0V_6fgDcA/video.html
Did you watched all the nominated films?
Yes
Definitely
I will be forever mad that it didn't.
YESSSSS!!! FINALLY! Im from Peru (in South America), the story was nothing new for us latinos, so we weren't exactly expecting much from this movie. But man we were blown away, this accident is like general culture for us, everyone knows how it goes, but this movie wrecked EVERYONE. The decision to narrate though Numa... was amazing, wasn't expecting it. The survivors said that Numa was one of the most helpful guys up in the mountains, he was so proactive, losing him was the wake up call to go search for help. I really recommend watching bts footage and interviews, the survivors and the actors have formed beautiful relationships. Great reaction guys, I really appreciate this one
Some facts: Nando was "brain dead" for 3 days, that's why he was left outside with the deceased, but the cold helped his brain and that's why he survived. Roberto was a first year med student, he actually didn't know much at all, he just asumed the roll of a doctor bc he was their best shot. Numa brought so much hope to the survivors, they said in interviews that he was always optimistic and proactive, he was always finding new ways of helping others. His death shocked everyone drastically and that's why Roberto wanted to find help as soon as possible, no more deaths after Numa. They were rescued 10 days (Roberto and Nando literally hiked for 10 days) after Numa's death...they said that if numa hadn't passed, they wouldn't have found the incentive to go search for help... Numa saved them.
All actors in this movie are total rookies and it's their first time on the big screen, so you can imagine how hard they worked. They literally shot the movie in the mountains (not in the Andes tho, they tried but it was too cold, they shoot in Sierra Nevada Spain), the director wanted to make it as real as possible, so they really kind of froze in some scenes. They recorded cronologically, and the actors lost around 20kg, real tough. Some of the survivors were involved in the movie making, helping making it even more accurate. Roberto Canessa, Nando Parrado and Carlitos Paez (he acted as his own father calling his own name) even made cameos. EVERYTHING in this movie is based on real events not like Alive, the added some accidents to make it more dramatic, the survivors didn't even like Alive, but they loved Society of the Snow bc of it's authenticity)
very real, I'm from Venezuela and I was expecting nothing interesting from this movie but man, was (is) it impactful!!
@@alexianigollarza3583 totally! Like I knew the story bc my dad was a kid when this happened and he told me everything about it. I NEVER expected to see a movie that was loyal to the real events! Bayona killed it!
This was big news in Germany when this happened. I was 13 and I can still remember, and will never forget what they had to do to survive. That film is very important and very well made.
@@pippavombr5856 and it keeps impacting people, even after all these years… crazy
Obrigado pelas informações! Abraços do Brasil.
Gustavo refusing to get on the helicopter without the suitcase was absolutely true. And so was Numa's letter, which was a bible verse from the book of John.
Also, I'd like to clarify that this movie is not based on the book 'Alive', but instead based on the book 'Society of the Snow,' which was published somewhere around 2009, decades after the events of the story. All sixteen survivors have a chapter in the book told from their POV reflecting on everything after having had time to process all of it.
Si y también es importante decir que Pablo Vierci el autor del libro LA SOCIEDAD DE LA NIEVE es y era amigo de todos y a último momento no viajo porque debía rendir un examen en la facultad Es el libro y la historia más fiel a lo sucedido
This film is 95% close to the reality that the survivors experienced, they participated very closely, there is also a book about this tragedy. In the film there were many scenes that could not be filmed because they were too strong and tough. For example, when they started eating human meat, many of them vomited non-stop for days, many of them became sick. They also tried to eat cotton or the leather of the seats.
The last woman to survive ( Liliana, the 34-year-old girl who was married to one of the survivors), had an important role as a nurse, many said that she was like a mother to them (especially the youngest ones of 18 and 19 years old). She was a great psychological support, and she consoled them when they were sad. Numa learned a lot from her and he was a kind of nurse after her.
She never wanted to eat human meat, she only ate a little bit just 1 day before the Avalanche. Unfortunaly she died.
*I'm from Chile and we are separated from the rest of the countries, in the east by the Andes Mountains, in the South by Antarctica, in the West by the Pacific Ocean and in the North by the Atacama Desert. So we have always been isolated from the world in the past, when airplanes did not exist ,many people died trying to cross the mountains, and many planes crashed (when they were basic and just beginning to exist)
Muy bonito y emotivo tu comentario con un gran detalle que muchos no saben.
*Some facts:* The survivors said this movie is so close to what happened in real life and they are so grateful for the respect its was made from and also the person reading the names of the survivors at the end is Carlitos Paez another survivor, portraying his father Carlos Paez Vilaró, who continued the search for them after the official search was called off. This is one of my favorite movies of 2024
In the movie “Alive” they don't even say that they were Uruguayans😂
Do you mean the characters don't say it or the movie doesn't say it? Because the movie does say it at the beginning in a text on the screen that says a Uruguayan team was traveling to a meeting with the neighboring country Chile or something like that.
@@josuecedeno8471 no, it doesn’t say that. What it says is that it’s a South American team. In South America there are 10 countries without counting the Guyanas of course.
@@martinolivera9871 yeah, you're right my bad
@@josuecedeno8471nope they are extremely vague they only say it’s south america
“ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE”
Sergio Catalán Martinez, the Chilean muleteer who the first to encounter survivors. he died February 11 2020 at the age 91 years old.
It was a brilliant storytelling move to have Numa as the narrator. We feel closer to him than anybody else, and he was the last to die before the rest were saved. Looking at the movie, it seems his death was even the catalyst for Nando and Roberto, maybe? So he was… so close!
His death hits us the hardest - but then in your next breath you realise that if any one of the others had been the narrator, we would’ve felt as strongly about them. And it hits you: every single one of these lives was equally as precious, as devastating, as beautiful and as strong. It’s a genius move by the film makers.
Nando took the 15 survivors from that place and Zerbino took the remaining 29 ❤️
My anatomy teacher showed us a documentary of this story when I was in high school, and it was honestly insane how many people judged and how much backlash the survivors got when they told their stories and what they had to do. Then my anatomy teacher told us “you have no right to judge a person if you weren’t there going through what they went through” and it was a simple line and thinking back on it that seems obvious no? But for some reason when he said that it’s always stuck with me to this day, and I’m reminded of that line every time I hear of this story
Yeah, it's very easy to say I would never do this or that when you're in the comforts of your home, but really each of us would never truly know what we'd do in that kind of situation. So it always struck me as odd how some people were SO sure of what they'd do. You just don't know.
How this didn't win any of the Oscars it was nominated for genuinely astounds me. I highly recommend watching the behind the scenes 30ish minute documentary as well, it really shows how much heart was in the making. The actors are all either new actors or have only done theatre and they did so much to bring this movie to life.
Some of the survivors were also part of the film - the real Nando holds the airport door for the actor Nando, The father of Carlito who announced the names of the survivors of the crash is the real Carlito playing his father, and the real Roberto is behind the actor as he is led into the hospital. Nando and Roberto in particular have done absolutely amazing things with their lives. Roberto is a renown cardiologist who also did a lot during COVID. Only two of the survivors have passed away since the accident, one from cancer and one more recently I believe from COVID. The survivors involved agreed that Numa should be the narrator too - he wasn't part of the Old Christians and only knew one or two people going on the trip who invited him, but nobody has a bad thing to say about him. Seriously, I'm reading Nando's book and Numa is almost described as a saint-like figure who cared for everyone and did everything possible that he could. Zerbino did collect mementos from everyone who passed and refused to leave the suitcase holding them behind, and spent over a month travelling and giving those mementos to family members.
And to touch on the cannibalism, which I'm so thankful wasn't the focal point - obviously there wasn't a choice in this situation. It's something nobody can judge because as you said, we don't know how you'd react unless you were in that situation. Again, like you said, there was an outcry when it happened and rumours that survivors turned on each other to survive. The survivors did lie at first and said they survived on other things, but they always planned to tell the truth. They, rightfully in my opinion, wanted to talk to all the families first. Instead when the outcry happened, a press conference was held where they explained this and the public soon came back to their side. They did consume everything, but there were actually bodies that were left untouched. Numa's and Arturo's were because they died of infection, and all the women's bodies were left alone as well. The survivors never hid anything either - in reality, they weren't all rescued at the same time. Half were rescued and some of the rescuers stayed overnight with the other half who'd be picked up the next day. I can't remember exactly which survivor it was, but they showed the rescuers the graveyard of bones and said who each bone belonged to, and when the rescuer said they didnt have to tell them, the survivor insisted that they did and that they were just as important.
What's the most insane to me is that it didn't even get a nomination for Sound. Truly egregious snub.
I notice some people are confused as to why the plane got hit and was near the mountains, it is said that the pilot BELIEVED they had already went around the mountains however that was not the case, which is why the pilot before passing said “we passed curico”
That was the co-pilot Lagurara
Hello friends, I just wanted to tell you that at minute 22:14 when it says that keeps getting later into the winter , it's wrong because that happens in Chile, which is in the southern hemisphere, and October is spring.
Thank you for the correction 🤜🤛🤙
@@BaddMedicine BTW excellent reaction as always 🦾
El año 72, nevó muchísimo, record de 50 años para atrás y con los glaciares anteriores al deshielo por el cambio climático.
Para efectos prácticos los deshielos de atrasaron dos meses.
@@juanpabloperezcuevas6404 lo escuché en en el podcast de Jordi con Carlitos
numa's death always breaks me man...
This movie never fails to make me cry, I just straight up ball every time. When Numa died I was shocked, especially since he was the narrator I really thought he was going to make it, but he didn't. That broke me, I love that he was still the narrator after he died. Numa's note was probably one of the scenes that made me cry the most if not the most. Also when they're calling out the survivor's names and the man says my son. Instant tears. Just seeing them getting rescued was so emotional and their faces of disbelief. This story is so powerful, such an amazing film, beautifully shot, the emotions for the actors, everything was just magnificent.
I swear that I have seen hundreds of films, winners of awards and emotional and I am quite critical but never one like this, it deserves more than an Óscar, it is a masterpiece. I never saw that a director can manipulate the viewer during 100% of the film even with the most difficult feelings to generate, it is epic.
This is the first reaction by you guys that I watched. Thank you so much for being so respectful in watching and reviewing this movie. This story is so, so important for us South American people. We've grown hearing it and for some of us, the survivors are an inspiration (although they're normal people, they are very special for us).
This film gives a voice to those who couldn't make it, and that's what makes it so special. So, again, thank you.
This is why these guys are my favorite reactors on CZcams. They are so respectful and sensitive. I recommend watching their reaction to The Impossible if you haven't.
@@michwrites will do! Thanks for the recommendation!
In an interview it was asked why the needed to make another film about this story when one already existed, and the answer was very simple, the first was more about facts and information, this film focuses on the soul of the story , in the feelings behind each one of the survivors.
This story has been told countless of times in one way or another, as a horror story or a wonderful miracle, the reality is this, they were simply people in a horrible situation who survived, no one can judge, no one can condemn their actions, and I like that the movie made it clear. "It's a miracle! - What miracle, mom?"
J.A.Bayona is an amiazing director.
First "The inpossible" and now with Society of the snow.
Hi guys! thanks for watching in spanish!! When they survivors saw the movie, they were silent for a moment because they felt like they were back on that mountain, then they applauded, because for them it is the closest thing to what they experienced. BTW, it is the same director from the movie The impossible, he read the book when it was in production of the impossible and it took him more than 10 years to make this film. He worked whith the writer, survivors and families of those who could not return.
This is southamerica guys so in december is summer here which means that they spend spring season up there. The place of the crash still has some pieces of the plane although the landscape looks a bit different because there's not much snow anymore thanks to global warming. The suitcase thing is true and the pilot actually said no to that because they needed little weight. In fact the rescue was dangerous and it couldn't be done from Chile's side so the recuers travel to Argentina and did it from there. BTW suitcase man Gustavo Zerbino goes every several years to the mountain to that place to remember the ones who died there.
The fact that Michael Giacchino didn't get an Oscar nomination for this score will haunt me forever. I honestly believe, he would have been the only one to actually make it hard for Ludwig to win (and maybe I'm biased, but I would have definitely voted for Giacchino here... And Oppenheimer's was one of my favorite scores of the year... That's how amazing I think Society of the Snow's was).
The film is a cinematic masterpiece, not only because of the aesthetics, art, photography, make-up or script, but because they managed to tell the story as real and truthful as possible, to the point that the survivors actively participated in it and say that when they see it they relive in their minds everything that happened. It is wonderful the way in which Bayona manages to show the harshness of what happened with an artistic touch and a strong emotional charge and for the first time not only highlighting the figure of the survivors as heroes but also those who died and did not make it out of the mountain, which is why Numa's voice as narrator is so important. Each of the actors met the real person they were playing and most of them managed to create a bond with them, moving from interpretation to reality and giving the importance it deserves to what each survivor felt, because as they have already said, each one remembers the mountain in a unique way. THANKS FOR REACTING! It's not getting a lot of attention from reactors :(
Fellas some of the survivors from the actual incident made cameos in the film!
this film is quite literally about love. love for each other, love for their families, and love for *life*. and to have it narrated by numa is such a touching way of giving a voice to those who passed. totally recommend watching behind the scene interviews w the director + families of the deceased + actual survivors who state that this was a healing film for them
Never have I seen you guys be so quiet during a reaction. This tells me a lot. Thanks for reacting to this wonderful, painful and important movie❤
Love that you guys don't score these types of movies out of respect, much respect for making that call on a reaction channel
Mason’s observations “the way this was shot.” SO SPOT ON! The director J. A. Bayona also directed “The Impossible” with Naomi Watts, Ewan McGregor & Tom Holland. The same immersive shots, and spectacular sound design to place you right into the middle of the chaos and terror in the movies - even in the “quiet” moments. Startling, shocking, unnerving-but the SURVIVAL aspect of both movies makes you come out the back end of each film taking stock of your own life and the way we live each moment of every day. Stellar reaction as always guys! Thank you, thank you.
Bayona said there are about 600hs of recording, films usually have about 40, I really wish they would turn all this material into a series or at least a super extended version. Such a remarkable work from everyone involved!
there´s also a mini film of how they film this movie, it´s called "Society of the Snow: who were we on the mountain".
OMG GUYS YES!!! I WAS SO HOPING FOR THIS REACTION. I'm from Argentina and while this is ofc an Uruguayan story, many of the actors are Argentine (Roberto's and Nando's and Gaston's for example), so I'm proud both for them and our Uruguayan brothers. It's such a feeling of pride seeing reactors like you guys who we enjoy watching to something that's made by us latin americans (Well, Spain too, not only cause the director is Spanish I think the production is also partly if not entirely from Spain). I haven't even started the video yet haha, but I just had to let you know this.
Abrazo desde Uruguay! Vamo arriba Argentina! Los quiero!
The rescue took 2 days. Nando and Roberto had food for like 3 days, not 10. The survivors were demonized when people found out that they ate human meat, 'till the families of the people who died and the Pope forgave them. There were 600 hours of footage but Bayona said that if they included some scenes it'd have been even more difficult to watch. Someone correct me if I'm wrong
I just can't with religious tones like those. The Pope forgave them....get the f out of here. Who is he to forgive a horrible situation and doing what they had to do to survive when the world forgot them and considers them good as dead.
The pope is not God. He had or business pretending to speak in his place.
@@Stephaniefarrah The original comment was just saying that the Pope reassured them what they did was not a sin/evil. If it doesn't matter to you, it for sure mattered to the survivors -- because most of them are devout Catholics. It liberated them from the guilt they were facing.
@@michwritesforgave them and reassured are two completely seperate meanings. One implies guilt and the need to be forgive.
The people survived a horrific experience. There's no forgiveness needed.
@@Stephaniefarrah I'm sorry if you misunderstood what I was trying to say
@@michwrites thank you for correcting me and explain it better
J.A. Bayona directed both The Impossible and The Society of the Snow
Bayona's filmmaking is immersive, to say the least. I found this fascinating, absolutely raw (visually and acting wise) without being morbid. Simply amazing.
Love from Argentina (and thank you for watching it in the original language)
Numa narrating is perfect, because the movie is about all of them (The Society), it makes perfect sense for him (the last one to "stay" in the mountains) to narrate. And yes, Gustavo Zerbino didn't get on the helicopter until they cleared him to take the bag.
I love watching Oaks face when the boys are doing their assessments. You can tell that he is still DEEPLY processing what he just experienced. I often want to give up on humanity - there doesn’t seem much of it. But, I feel hopeful when I see displays of empathy for other living things. I appreciate this channel. And I appreciate those that appreciate this channel. But I appreciate MORE those who are kind to ALL LIVING THINGS.
Piece of advice: take a break from the news and social media for a while. They’re often the main reason why any of us feel like giving up on humanity. I stopped following the news and live my life in my own little bubble, and I’m happier for it.
Great movie! Just to add . I am from South America and Spring here starts in September/October . December/January Summer
Stay keeping it real! Good job guys!
I’ve seen so many great films this year, but this is the one I keep coming back to. It never comes across as a “disaster movie,” but rather as a tribute to the courage of these people. The easier path would have been simply to refuse food and hope to die in your sleep. They fought not just the mountain and the loss of any realistic hope, but the ultimate human taboo, devouring other members of your tribe, your family. I’ve always had so much admiration for the survivors - but I agree that having Numo give a voice to the dead is a powerful decision by the filmmakers, a way of saying that it’s not just about the survivors.
If only Diamond Dave is here to react to. It will complete the whole reaction experience to this beautiful friendship story
Apologies. The schedule didn't line up for me as I had to edit a few items and I didn't want this held up on my account. Very impactful film.
@@BaddMedicine would have loved to see your reaction as well!
25:20 ow no guys, here in the southern hemisphere dezember starts the summer
They corrected themselves later on.
@sawanna508 No, they didn't
Most of these actors are first timers and THEY NAILED IT!!
I'm really happy that you watched and enjoyed the movie as much as many of us did. I think this movie deserved at least 1 oscar but you know what they say... it doesn't matter how good a movie is, if it is competing agaisnt a WWII movie, it has no oportunuty🤷🏽♀️
They say that? That's why Dunkirk or Darkest Hour lost to The Shape of Water, Hacksaw Ridge lost to Moonlight or Letters from Iwo Jima to The Departed? And it's just from the top of my head. The truth is The Zone of Interest was just an exellent movie and it deserved it's win. I love Society of the Snow and I'm glad it was recognized.
@@deliannebSociety of The Snow at least deserved the "Best Makeup" award
@@16princessdaisyI would love for it to get rewarded for makeup, it definitely deserved it! But I was only defending The Zone of Interest
This is the version that is closest to reality, the real survivors collaborated by giving all the information that the production needed, the survivor who collects the objects of the deceased in the suitcase and then not let him take it to the helicopter was true. The only thing that was not true was the rescue, they did not leave all together at the time, it was a 2 day rescue, the first day half of them left, and the second day the rest, but it was summarized like that to work better cinematographically speaking, otherwise it was necessary to extend the end a lot, and it was anticlimatic emotionally speaking if it was told as it was...
Also I think the pilot's words were changed from what's general knowledge, since as far as I know, he first asked them for water (he was fed snow) and his revolver, which he was denied for obvious reasons.
There's other things that are not true. The plane didn't hit the mountain once in the crash, it was three times. First the tail hit, another hit so the tail and a wing came off, another hit the other wing came off. Co-pilot Lagurara didn't die immediately after briefly talking, he died the second day after the crash and had asked for his gun to end his suffering but was refused. The radio announcement didn't happen like that, and Coco had some confident humor that gave everyone some hope of rescuing themselves. The one and only avalanche happened at night while everyone was asleep. Numa got his leg injury (which developed into the fatal infection) from someone accidentally stepping on his leg, since he was very frail from the starvation. Nando and Roberto had to wait a day for the man on the horse, Sergio to come back, then Sergio gave them some food and rode for 10 hours to go to the police while he got another horseman to take them to a village. There was also conflicts because there were some people in the group that barely helped or didn't help at all but it is understandable why some things were left out for the dramatization.
Thank you for watching it in spanish. It means a lot for us. The director was searching for some money in order to film it, and nobody wanted to help him because of the language.
it is 10:40PM here in the Philippines, perfect time to cry before going to sleep 😅🤣
I watched Alive a few years ago, and it already shook me. Now I watch Society of The Snow, it makes me cry in some parts.
Great reaction, as usual, gentlemen.
Alive was such a Hollywood movie tho. Nothing like how the accident was irl. Im glad Bayona (the director of sots) managed to make such an authentic movie!
He's such an incredibly amazing director. I loved the impossible and a monster calls. @@cristinaolmos8403
This is the most silent reaction I've seen on this channel, it's amazing how the movie really has you immersed to the point we can't even comment.
i've never seen a movie that is so devastating and yet demands rewatching. I've seen it 3 times. It's so unbelievably well directed and acted. Absolutely beautiful.
Finally! I had requested this reaction when I saw your reaction to The Impossible. Great choice guys. This story is a huge deal in the Spanish speaking community. Thanks for sharing!
So much better than Alive. This film just kept breaking my heart over and over again.
Yeah bc Alive was such a “Hollywood” movie, while SOTS is authentic and loyal to the real events! The director killed it
I thought the actors did a pretty good job
The director of this movie JA Bayona is the same director of The Impossible which is the movie about the tsunami. Both movies are incredible tales of survival.
Both The Impossible and The Society of the Snow were directed by JA Bayona, he's phenomenal.
I watched this on a flight, freaked myself out but loved this movie so much, felt so sorry for everyone on the flight. What amazing acting and story telling
The reverence and respect that you showed was perfect. That was the only reaction required guys. What a haunting story of courage and strength.
Insane, to think these people really had to go trough this even tho not alone. The things they had to do and witness just to survive is unimaginable 💔
As someone who knows this story in every aspect like the name and physical appearance of the 45 people who were on board and I must say the incredible physical resemblance of each of the actors with the person they are playing respectively and there is also the right of the names to use because in alive they did not have the rights to all of them and some were changed (one is numa who in alive was called Rafael) so I applaud J.A.Bayona for the casting.
The resemblance between actor Diego Vegezzi and the captain of the team, Marcelo Perez, is outstanding. They look incredibly alike! Same with actor Andy Pruss and survivor Roy Harley. The casting in the movie was spot-on, the casting directors did a really, really good job.
Watching your reaction made me remember the audience at the cienema when I watched this movie in december 2023. You could hear a pin drop. Everybody was in complete silence. I was like stuck in my chair, my eyes open wide. Bayona's movie is not only beautifully shot, the sound is perfectly inmersive, intense, almost unbearable for times (like when the plane is trying to fly over the mountains and the engines are making that noise...). But he did something else. Bayona respected the true events, respected the language spoken, actors are uruguayan and argentinian, so, what you hear is the real language and expresions of the survivors. Some of the real survivors appear on cameos too, which is great. Great reaction guys.
Un saludo para los compatriotas que estén por esta zona de comentarios. Uruguay nomá !!
The cinematography was astounding and showed us the sheer scale of their plight. Much like you guys I watched Alive many moons ago but this hit differently. Great reaction guys
I saw the video of the cast and the real survivors were having time together and in that video
Enzo Vogrincic as Numa was like walking around and then Roberto Canessa (The survivor) called him in the background like "Numa!" 😭💔
My mom had trouble watching this movie because she remembers the general public anxiety when they got lost in the mountains (we are from Venezuela).
She loved the movie because it's a story about human resilience and friendship. She couldn't stop crying though. And neither could I. It's a masterpiece.
I loved the fact that ya played it in Spanish !! This movie it's amazing!! This is the fifth time I seen it n it always 😢!! It should have won the oscar. It didn't win it but it won our hearts!! Director Bayona went to the Andes and asked permission to the spirits in the mountains to make the movie., and went to each house to talked to the family of the ones that stayed in the mountain. Enzo the actor that plays Numa went to Numa's house, his room n talked to Numa's brother. In the movie Numa's real house is there.
That movie you mentioned, The Impossible, was directed by the same director J.A. Bayona. Tom Holland from The Impossible recently interviewed Bayona about this film, I think the interview is on CZcams.
Most of the survivors are still alive and some made a cameo in this film even Nando and Roberto who became a pediatric cardiologist going on to save even more lives.
Great review, this is one of my favorite films and stories about human resilience, will to survive, team work, and faith.
Thank you
That was a very interesting 53:59 reaction, and your comments at the end 👏👏. I also love the fact that young people gets to know about this terrible but amazing story, wich was even worse in real life (told by survivers)😰
Saludos from Chile 🇨🇱 👋
Fun fact...this was filmed in the Sierra Nevada mountains. This was a great movie. Unbelievable what they endured.
Thanks for reacting to this! As an Uruguayan, i grew up with this story, which is part of the culture and history of our little (only in size) country. It is so joyful seing it reaching so many people.
Just sidenote, the Winter in the southern hemisfere goes from June to September, opposite to the Winter in northern hemisfere countries.
Remember watching Alive when i was younger. Watching this version just brought back all those somber memories of watching Alive. Such an amazing survival story but so hard to comprehend goin through.
My husband's family came from Uruguay to Australia in 1979. His father always told him about this, and would say, that the Uruguayan people knew what those young men did, and they did it to survive. There was no judgement. My husband's father was a wonderful man.
Thank you for your wonderful reactions.
Cheers from Australia.
Yeah I was waiting for this guys!! I grew up know this story. I hope you like it!! This is the one the actually survivors are ok with. Is giving a voice to the ones who didn't made it.
December in South America is summer, guys, remember that.
I was waiting for this, thanks for reacting! The cast for this movie is really amazing and is really heartwarming to see their bond to the real survivors. Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
Some fun facts:
-The man that holds the door open at the airport is Fernando Parrado, one of the survivors that went down the mountain.
-The person reading the names of the survivors at the end is Carlitos Páez another survivor, portraying his father Carlos Páez Vilaró, who continued the search for them after the official search was called off.
-One of the doctors at the end is also a survivor, Roberto Canessa the other guy that went down the mountain.
As a Uruguayan the depth of meaning this story holds for us is indescribable-it stands as one of the most compelling tales of survival and perseverance.
Thank you so much for reacting to it!
The "Puma's" a.k.a the Argentinians are still one of the best teams to play in the rugby world cup! As an Englishman, I've always loved the way they play the sport! But this is another level of being a team player... this is truth, heart and an unbelievable story of the human spirit! Never have I seen this particular story been told so well! Great reaction lads! Awesome to hear that Quinn has played! Ex- rugby players coming to the NFL... you watch guys!😁
South América!
Spring begins on September 21 st, so in October temperatures begins to raise on the Andes. Summer begins on December 21st
Okay so apparently the guy on the horse who found them lived near the mountains with his wife. And would always go camping in the mountains for days at a time so knowing that the police contacted his wife regarding if her husband can be on the lookout for any survivors of the crash. Turns out she was never able to tell him because he had already left for his trip. And the fact that he was able to find them or come across them is just a miracle.
I was waiting for your reaction since the movie came out. It's a masterpiece. The movie deserved the Oscar.
22:47 They are in another emisphere, November, December and January, it is summer and there is less snow.
I was waiting for this for so long, thank you!
Nice reaction! There are 3 movies based on this story. My parents are from Argentina and my father was a teemager at the time and remembers watching the news when they found them. When my parents were dating, they went to see the movie "Sruvive!" (1976), Mexican production. Fun Fact: In the American cut of "Survive!", a young Christopher Reeve dubbed one of the voices. My father and I went to see "Alive" on opening day to a packed theatre and we were blown away by the plane crash scene. But my father was disappointed they didnt include anything about the Chilean gaucho on the otherside of the river. That was such an integral part of the real story. My father had to step away at one point because he knew he was going to be too depressed watching "Society of the Snow."
thank you so much again guys, I was already freaking out because I wanted you to react to this movie... may you all rest in peace! 🫶🏽☹️
Impactful, stayed with me for a very long time. Even though I knew the story and seen the older movie multiple times, the director and actors nailed it. My favorite movie of 2023. Left me speechless.
Sooo many tears with this one. Hard to watch for sure but a really well done film. 💜
Gracias! Estaba esperando está videoreacción 🙏🏼❤️
I thought it would only get worse for them too because of the winter months but I forgot that for them that's when their summer starts. Which is what caused the avalanche because the snow was starting to melt.
This movie breaks me. The story is just amazing. It reminds us of how blessed we are and how much worse reality can be. Cool that you've watched it in its original language.
god, I loved this movie sm, I already knew the story so I knew what to expect, but it was still impactful, first I saw it on netflix, but then I had to watch it in the theater and so I did, It was an amazing experience
I just watched this movie last night. If I had to describe it in one word, it’s captivating. You are gripped straight from the crash and want to see how they make it out. Watching this makes you feel plenty of emotions: despair, sick, hopeful, just to name a few. It’s a story that by the end when the survivors were rescued and reunited w/ society, I was speechless and actually teared up a little because they actually did it
I really have to give my honest respect to Mason Quinn for acknowldeging that this reaction might've felt a bit more lacking in terms of big gasps or funny comments, that shows an honest understanding and respect for the real tragedy, and even if they talked a bit less on this reaction, all the commentary you need is in their faces. A tale as harrowing and relentless as this one deserved a reaction as raw and simple to match. Takes a lot not to go into youtuber mode to relieve some of the tension, and I'm glad you guys didn't.
This movie is based on a different book than Alive! The society of the snow was released in 2008. The thawing began in November in the Southern Hemisphere it's Spring, turning into Summer. Loved your reaction!
22:10 Actually, on the southern Hemisphere, seasons are reversed.
40:12 Them finally making it had me bursting into tears until the end of the film. Beautifully made film. Grew up watching Alive, my dad showed it to me, powerful film. Both of these films tell the tale so well. Glad this story was told
I noticed that you say the winter was coming, but remember that in the south hemisfer the season are the contrary to the north. In November it's closer to summer here. (I'm from Argentina) l love your reactions
This was such a powerful movie! I cannot imagine what i would do but i my favorite part was the scene where they are debating on whether or not to eat the remains and Numa tells the group that they dont have the right to eat the remains and roberto response was your telling me "i dont have the right to do whatever it takes to live? Who is going to take that right away from me!?"
I cant imagine having to make that decision.
