Society of the Snow: History vs. Hollywood

  • How accurate is Society of the Snow directed by J.A. Bayona? In this video that contains real footage, the Society of the Snow true story is compared to the Netflix movie about the Andes plane crash, which involved Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 on October 13, 1972. Of the 45 people on board, 19 were members of a rugby team on their way to Santiago, Chile for an exhibition match.
    In this fact-check, we explore the Andes crash movie's biggest inaccuracies, as well as what it gets right, including the Society of the Snow crash scene. We look at the actions of the survivors of the crash, including how the movie's narrator, Numa Turcatti, sustained the injury to his leg, which doesn't line up with the true story. Also examined is the avalanche and Society of the Snow's ending, specifically the rescue of the survivors, which was significantly more difficult in real life.
    To learn more about the fact vs. fiction in this Netflix Andes plane crash movie, read our article, "Society of the Snow: History vs. Hollywood", which further fact-checks the film. www.historyvshollywood.com/re...

    I wouldn't say Society of the Snow is a "Hollywood" movie. The director is Spanish, the actors are all Uruguayan and Argentine. "Alive" is a Hollywood movie.

    i think ultimately, the choices Bayona made for this film were the correct ones. Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy largely made the film they wanted to make, not the one that should have been made. The survivors said that film did not resemble anything of what they went through, and most of the survivors and the families of that dead refused to allow their names to be used because of how really bad that film turned out. It's best not do discuss the 1976 film "Survive" as it was clearly exploiting the tragedy with very shoddy effects such as powdered snow. And again with that film none of the real names were used. I am hoping Bayona releases a longer cut of the film.

    • @toycoma98
      @toycoma98 Před 3 měsíci +4

      I like how they called out the names and age as they died.

    • @erikyflowers7941
      @erikyflowers7941 Před 3 měsíci +4

      Yeah, survivors have told Society of the Snow is highly accurate, unlike other movies about the tragedy. That is why all the survivors and family of the ones who died gave permission to use the actual names of everybody in the movie.

    • @jerryrehard7711
      @jerryrehard7711 Před 3 měsíci +2

      The 93 film never had permission to use the names of the dead to begin with so it had nothing to do with the quality of the film. Parrado was a technical advisor on the film and many of the survivors visited the set. The main complaint was that Alive focused too much on Nando and didnt depict the team effort as much as it could have. The new film is arguably better, but it could be just as truly stated that it focuses too much on Turcatti. I enjoyed both films. Both leave a lot of details out and change some situations for dramatic purposes. The Strauch cousins certainly get their due in the newer film but Carlitos has less of a part. Alive did a better job of depicting the injuries suffered by the survivors. Society does a better job of depicting the bleakness and hardship of their ordeal but this is due more so to the style of the directing and cinematography than to any factual errors present in the 93 film. Clunky dialog aside Alive doesnt merit the disdain many seem to want to heap on it. Just my opinion of course.

    Reportedly there are some scenes that were shot but deleted from the final cut. Two of them depict actual events:
    • During the hike to the plane's tail, a blizzard hits the group and Roy Harley tells the others to leave him behind. Nando becomes aggressive and harshly convinces him to return to the fuselage. This is depicted in Alive.
    • Carlos Valeta was ejected from the plane as it skidded down the slope but didn't die immediately. Injured and in shock, he started walking and didn't hear the other survivors calling his name (the shouting can be heard in the background during the scene with the pilot). He fell into a snowdrift and died of asphyxiation. His body was found on the 63rd day.

    In the movie I think the flight engineer only appeared once but in real life he survived up until the avalanche

    • @5telaine
      @5telaine Před měsícem +1

      Yeah and from what I’ve read there’s no proof at all that he was anything like the character he was portrayed as being in the 1993 movie Alive.
      In that film he was shown as being a selfish creep who was no help to anyone and acted like some kind of nutter. It showed him snatch a coat that had been put over a young girl to try to keep her a bit more comfortable because she had been so seriously injured from the crash.
      Until one of the young guys notice and threatened him not to touch it again and he put it back over the girl.
      I watched another documentary comparing the two films and the narrator said he’d researched it and couldn’t find a single thing about this having happened or anything about the engineer being an asshole the way he is in that film🤷🏻‍♀️
      I just thought how angry and hurt you’d be if this wasn’t true and had just been added for effect
      if you are a family member of this man😕

    Society of Snow gave the "deserved respect" to survivors and deceased much much better than the Hollywood made Alive! I wasn't surprised that all team are local actors (Uruguayan, Argentinian) and Spanish.
    Society of Snow abbreviate as (SOS).. i don't know if this was intentional but quite impactful!

    If surviving the airplane accident was not enough, the plane had to crash on the most magnificent inhospitable place on earth! Cordilheira dos Andes! That is really a very profound moment in their lives, the fact they were considered dead to the authorities and their families but since they hade one another as part of a team that was already entrusted thru the sport, and the fact they were all young .
    It seems is a lot lessons to learn from this horrific experience. They survived avalanche and 72 days off constant knowing they needed to try to cross that super scary cordilheira / Montain ! Wow !! They really deserve to be Alive 🙏💕🦋
