- Welcome to our first-time watching as we react to Society of the Snow (2023). This survival thriller film directed by J. A. Bayona, centers around the Uruguayan 1972 Andes flight disaster. It is an adaptation of Pablo Vierci's book of the same name, which documents the accounts of all 16 survivors of the crash.
"Society of the Snow" brings us back to 1972, the Uruguayan Air Force flight 571, chartered to transport a rugby team to Chile, experiences an unexpected incident and crashes into a glacier in the heart of the Andes. Of the 45 passengers on board, only 16 manage to survive. Trapped in one of the most inaccessible and hostile environments on the planet, they are forced to resort to cannibalism to stay alive. Their survival will depend on the decisions they make in the midst of this desperate situation.
The cast is composed of Uruguayan and Argentine actors, most of whom are newcomers. And let us tell you they did a phenomenal job! Enzo Vogrincic (Numa Turcatti), Matías Recalt (Roberto Canessa), Agustín Pardella (Nando Parradoa) and the rest of the cast all gave stellar performances.
Director J.A. Bayona delivers a gut-wrenching and heartfelt story about what it takes to survive in the harshest conditions. The soundtrack which was composed by Michael Giacchino really tugged at our heartstrings and only helped emphasize the emotional moments.
We hope that you enjoy our reactions, commentary and discussions as we delve into the film's themes.

While watching this movie, I sent a text to my son, "When you think things can't get any worse, it gets worse, over and over again." OMG!!! Riveting and horrifying, and so many emotions. WOW!!!
Abrazos desde Uruguay🫂😊🥰
You guys should watch the original movie about this called ALIVE with ethan hawk it was made in the 90's it's a masterpiece the one is just a remake ...it's good but..... love you guys❤❤❤🙋🏻♂️
A'live es una versión Disney de la historia una típica versión yankee ,la sociedad de la nieve es una obra maestra y lo mismo dicen los sobrevivientes y las familias de los fallecidos ,no sabes nada de cine @@benoitlangevin7030
Fun fact, the survivours said this movie is so close to what happened for real and they are so grateful for the respect its was made from. Its really a masterpiece for me.
That's incredible to hear, and also such a relief! Imagine, the worst/most frightening thing to ever happen to you and someone abuses it for profit - it's unimaginable! The film is absolutely incredible!
Another fun fact: ALL of the survivors have been living a very acomplished life, privately as well as in the business world.
@@donteto This is wonderful to know. This movie is horrifying and beautiful at the same time. I felt so many emotions while watching this movie.
I remember reading the book Alive that was about this when I was in high school in the 80's and the pictures he takes in this film are amazingly accurate to the photos they actually took.
And some of them were in the movie.
Sergio Catalán, the Chilean muleteer who found Nando and Roberto, became a beloved person to the survivors. The survivors tell that they called him "father", they went to visit him in Chile, they took him to Uruguay, they helped him and his family financially, in his hip operation. Until Sergio passed away in 2020.
I love that so much. He traveled 10 hours 1 way to get help for them and I'm glad they stayed close.
Fun fact, in Chile we call these muleteers or country people "huasos", as it is more general and encompasses the traditional lifestyle and dress that the inhabitants of these areas carry by tradition. As far as the film is concerned, it was quite accurate that they included it, since it was difficult for someone who was not from the countryside to be casually passing by.
@@diegorosales9705the term huaso has closer similarity to cowboy or gaucho. The fact that they added him and alittle more of the Maule region is so significant to the Chilean people, especially compared to the Ethan hawke version..
@@diegorosales9705 sí. creo que la sociedad de la nieve ha sido la única "versión" en que hayan añadido al querido sergio.
Destaco mucho el encuentro del arriero y la carta, pues en esos años no mucha gente del campo sabía leer y escribir, no por ignorancia , sino por la lejanía de comodidades como escuelas o bibliotecas. Que aquel solitario señor pudiera entender y devolver el mensaje, fue vital.
Nando Parrado basically came back from the dead. The others thought him dead so they put him on the snow where his brain could heal (he had a skull fracture, that's why his eyes were like that), he fed, trained and walked for 10 days through valleys and mountains to save his friends. A true hero.
Ningún héroe todos tenían lesiones golpes y pudieron morir por ello Nando subió con Roberto quien fue su lazarillo porque Nando es miope no veía nada a medio metro Así que sin Roberto primero no hubiese sobrevivido porque fue el quien lo cuido luego lo acompaño y fue el quien fue un sostén y pieza fundamental para llegar lejos Pero a diferencia de Nando Roberto y la mayoría tuvieron perfil bajo dedicaron a estudiar y crear una vida familia Nando se dedicó a hacer fortuna con su historia y ponerse a si como héroe.. hasta ahora que se contó la verdad
@@pazforever Y por qué Nando subió y no alguien más, si el era miope? (Obviamente lo es, al principio tenía lentes, eso es cierto) por qué él entre todos los que si podían ver? No creo tampoco que sean héroes, son sobrevivientes y eso es admirable. Y cada uno vivió como quiso después de eso, el mundo dentro de tu cabeza cambia y tú forma de vida también.
@@reganv.8309Nando didn’t remember the crash or experience the trauma of the first night. They all would’ve died if Nando didn’t have such a strong spirit and survival instinct and Nando is certainly a hero in every way.
@@hannsvernor5125 tell that to the other guy haha
@@pazforever
Todos los sobrevivientes están súper agradecidos con Nando.
I'm...impressed. I did not expect ANYONE would be reacting to this movie. Good job!
Haha thank you!! We had a lot of requests for this one, and we're so glad we watched this!
I think we will see a very quick flow of everyone Reacting to this. It's getting huge
I went to sleep last night wondering if anyone would react to it, and man this notification was a surprise!
@@OfficialMediaKnights This film is nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2024 Oscars.
@@boboca20 I'm checking everyday because I know people will start reacting to it, been waiting lol
50:05 Funfact: The oldman in the phone is the real Carlitos Paez.
Glad they included him and a few survivors in this!
Yes, he played his own father.
@@OfficialMediaKnightsNando and Canessa were there as well.
Nando is the man who opens the door to let in Nandos's mother and sister and Canessa is at the end of the movie, right behind Canessa's actor
No era anciano su padre
Y quien abre la puerta en el aeropuerto al actor que interpreta a Nando, su madre y hermana Susy es el mismo Nando Parrado.
El hombre al que saluda Numa cuando va a entrar en su casa con la bicicleta es el verdadero sobrino de Numa.
En la escena del bar se ve al verdadero coche inciarte en una mesa sentado.
En la iglesia se ve a uno de los primos.
El médico que acompaña a Roberto en el hospital es el mismo Roberto Canessa.
Carlos Páez interpreta a su padre Carlos Páez Vilaró cuando Lee la lista de sobrevivientes.
Me encanta esta película, he buscado información por todos lados desde que la Vi y cada vez me sorprendo más y encuentro más cosas
The way they make us think Numa was gonna survive for them to just pull the rug from under us...... He was even hesitant to go on this trip in the first place 😭😭😭
Duuuude stop, seriously, that just broke us!! Like, how are you gonna seriously kill off our narrator?? And, he wasn't even supposed to be here 😭😭😭
Numa was the last one to die and he died just 10 days before the rescue. As Nando Parrado said (one of the survivals that crossed the Andes at the end): "Anybody gave and fought as much as Numa did". Numa is the perfect narrator so represents the voice of those who fight and help others but at the end didn't make it. What a tragedy but also a miracle is this story, considered by National Geographic as the greatest survival story of las 100 years.
@@OfficialMediaKnights todos los sobrevivientes han hablado sobre ello, la gran mayoría muchos años después, excepto dos, uno de ellos Pancho Delgado por la gran culpa que siente de haber convencido a Numa de ir a ese viaje...
Hay mucho contenido sobre sus charlas, muchas en inglés, es muy recomendable escuchar el mensaje que toda esta tragedia les hizo trasladar al resto del mundo sobre la fortaleza humana 😘
I felt sad whenever someone died, but I was heartbroken when Numa died. I think we all thought he would be one of the survivors.
@@rebecaf.a.4044 where can that be found?
46:54 Not only are they not professional climbers, but I don't know if you know, but in Uruguay it doesn't snow, here 99% of Uruguayans don't know snow and sub-zero temperatures are rare, what they achieved is quite a surprise for that reason we talk about the miracle of the Andes
it actually snows a bit in the rural areas, its just that the country is so low populated that nobody lives there therefore it's unseen

A curious fact is that the one who sat on the suitcase and did not want to leave the suitcase really did that because he was carrying personal belongings of each deceased, and he went to personally deliver each object to each family.
he is the father or one of my sisters friend best friend, he is such a great man plus his wife died

carlitos paez, one of the survivors, plays the part of his father while reading the names. his dad never gave up looking for him and actually found out his son was alive the moment he was reading the list. other survivors also make a cameo during the movie, nando parrado, roberto canessa and jose luis "coche" inciarte, who passed away in july of 2023

Excellent video. As a latina I thank you for having seen it in original language with subtitles because I really think it makes the difference. An interesting fact of this film is that the vast majority of the actors had not done anything or almost nothing in cinema before. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Thank you so much, this is so kind of you!! Language is such a huge part of a culture, and it's so important to us to view a film how it was intended. No matter how great the dubbing is, it can never quite match up to the original and that's something both of us feel very passionately about!
And yes, holy crap, they're mostly newcomers! Their performances were absolutely incredible!!
Thank you again, and greetings back to Buenos Aires!
I watch it in Spanish with English subtitles, I love to hear them speak and get a feel for their culture ❤
Roberto Canesa is one of the best children's cardiologists in Uruguay. They all managed to rebuild their lives.
Exacto. Lloré con el libro "Viven". (Ahora con esta pelicula). Y hace unos años el Dr. Roberto Canessa atendió a mi bebé ... es lo hermoso d vivir en un pequeño pais 💙🇺🇾
He was at screening here in Hollywood! I feel huge regret I didn't attend.
Imposible no llorar es hermoso ser uruguaya
@@anadeleonpepesoy Argentina mi máxima admiración por Uruguay. Para mi son los campeones del mundo mundial
@@lucianagaravaglia5626 muchas gracias que lindas tus palabras te mando un beso y un gusto
The doctor behind Canessa is the real Roberto Canessa. You can also see the real Nando Parrado at the airport
Cool
and Carlos Páez portraying his father when he calls for the survivor's names! "Carlitos Páez, my son" 🥹
Not only that, but Nando opens the airport door, letting in his fictional sister and mother, who die in the crash
Same in alive movie at beginning Nando is the trainer in the photo and you can see canessa runing with the boys in the rugby picture
JUST watched this last night. So brutal and most importantly REAL. JA Bayona spent hours and hours and hours interviewing (SPOILERS) the 14 survivors out of 16 who are still alive today. He respected the tragedy. Powerful filmmaking.
Absolutely agreed!! It's always encouraging when filmmakers respect real life events such as these, and you can tell Bayona cared deeply about doing all these people justice!
why "spoiler"? 😅
@bbodgi7393 not everybody knows how this all turned out
We need to remember this movie was ten year in the making so a little clarification Bayona spoke with 15 of the 16 survivors José "coche" inciarte died on 2023 Bayona had a special screening for him before he passed away
In fact he spent time with 15, Coche Saw the film too before he died
I do wish that Bayona has showed a little more of Liliana, who was the only woman alive. Is not showed in the movie but the survivors said that she acted as their mom inside the plane, she was with everyone helping them and treating them like a son. They still have a lot of love for her.
Está la escena cuando Liliana contiene a Moncho, con su cabeza en sus manos y hablándole para tranquilizarlo, como una madre con un hijo
Si se le dedicaba tiempo a cada uno entonces se transformaba en una película de 10 hs
it was shown in the movie, there was a whole scene where one of the players was panicking and calling for his mom and Lilliana held him and spoke to him. later on her husband Javier speaks about her love and a few players make remarks as well
i had no idea a women survived
@@Mega1sonic survived the crash. she died later on the avalanche
A curious fact that is not directly told in the movie is that Nando hit his head during the collision with the mountain and that caused him to be in a coma for several days. As his companions thought he was half dead, they placed him in the coldest part of the plane. One of the body's defense mechanisms when the head suffers blows is hypothermia. By being exposed to the cold, his inflammation went down and that saved his life.
Nando fue el protagonista y "héroe " durante 51 años pero está historia muestra que no fue así Nando sin el resto no hubiese sobrevivido Es un trabajo de equipo donde todos fueron importantes muertos y vivos Salieron por el aporte de todos
That's not the only fact. The fracture it sefe dicompres de brain alowing rhe brain to expand. And the dehidratation been in coma also help
I remember watching this with my mom and having to hold our breaths for most of the movie. We were HUNGRY with them, we were COLD for them, were ISOLATED along with them! It was such an immersive eperience to watch on our TV.
That was us as well! This film is incredible. They were able to convey it all and make us feel like we were all there with them.
I too watched this with my mom, and it was -19c where I live so I felt extra cold watching it.. The audio was also very good, when that avalanche hit.. oh boy
I knew the bare minimum about this event, because events where anthropophagy is involved are quite notorious. But I never really looked into it, so when Numa died (with that false sense of security because he was the narrator) I was extremely gutted, so I searched as to why he was chosen as the one telling the story. And apart from the obvious (that is, that he was the last casualty so they could honor the heroism of the dead and not only that of the survivors), it turns out the survivors that had a hand in selecting him.
He didnt know a lot of them, and he is remembered so lovingly by all.
Some of the things they've said about him:
«‘When I talk about Numa, I can’t help but cry,’ says Coche Inciarte (RIP Coche, he died last year). ‘He’s the best person I’ve ever met in my life. However tenderly I cared for those who were losing heart, Numa did it much better because he never got tired. He was constantly aware of everyone else’s distress. He radiated peace, he never gave up, and when he came near me, I felt like Jesus Christ himself was among us, with such mercy and compassion in his eyes. I don’t know where he got his strength.’»
Enzo Vogrincic, on meeting the survivors for the first time: « We would all introduce ourselves and who we were playing and there would be jokes, but then I would say (to the survivors): "Hi, I'm Enzo, I play Numa" and they would say 'Oof, Numa'. And they would give me a hug."
I would say, "But this person doesn't know me, he's not hugging me. He's hugging Numa through me."
And it was very powerful. You saw there what he was leaving. There is something inexplicable about Numa that he left in others, that they feel a weight. They feel an extra gratitude. There was something very heavy there that you felt, and it left you with that responsibility. You would say: "Ah, look at this person, how special. How they remember him.
What is a person like to be remembered like that? What did he do? What did he leave?"»
That is to say, Im gonna go cry again
Numa was obviously a beautiful soul, and I feel that the young actor who played him did a wonderful job. I'm so sad he did not make it, and so close to the time they were rescued.
Que comentario más bonito, lo que más me gusta de la película es que también se centre en los que no lo lograron, también son héroes, y gracias a ellos pudieron sobrevivir los demás
I've been following this story forever (read several books, seen many videos of interviews of the survivers and such) and I never knew all of this that you wrote about. Thanks Lucía!!
Well, the survivors hugging Numa through Enzo might just be one of the most beautiful and sad things I've ever read. Thank you for the comment.
Wow lo mejor que he leído sobre el tema 👏👏🙏
What I love about this story is that there are so many moments that you would think were included in the film for extra drama or effect but actually happened like Numa actually having died with that written note about no greater love than sacrificing for friends, how that pushed Roberto and Nando to go out the very next day, how Gustavo had a suitcase of keepsakes from the fallen that he refused to get on the helicopter without. Such a tragedy but at the same time a beautiful story of humanity
and there are a bunch of touching moments that happened that the movie left out too.
@@Georgina-lv9bt The Shoe story.
@@roocklesspretty9225 thats one of them. There's also Nando carrying Roy to the plane when he was too exhausted after an expedition, there's the story of Carlitos, the moon and a mirror, there's Liliana and Javier deciding to have one more child (after they had decided not to have anymore) if they ever got out among alot of others.
Roberto became a cardiologist specialist in childhood/natal cardiopathy and used his fame to be able to access the best tech and knowledge to help babies and pregnant moms treat their babies. His book about what he did after the accident is super interesting too.
Nando became a race car driver for a while, and then was a TV presenter in Uruguay and continued managing his dad's business.
Most of the others either continued with their family farms or started successful businesses. Pedro Algorta owns one of Argentina's largest breweries. All of them except maybe Carlitos (for a while anyway) had very successful lives afterwards. I mean, they're also kind of upper-middle class in Uruguay, so there is a bit of that, but Carlos fought alcoholism for a few years and is now sober.
Most of them married the girlfriends they had before the accident. Combining all their kids and grandkids almost 200 people exist now because they survived.
Esperaba que más personas reaccionaran esta película. Como uruguaya, esta historia es bastante personal. Es una historia de la cual conoces desde temprana edad y me alegra saber que otras personas también la valoran. Bayona hizo un trabajo increíble y le dio un foco que nadie le había dado, que más allá de los sobrevivientes debemos hablar de quienes fallecieron. Espero que el equipo se lleve esos dos oscars. Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾
Esos dos Oscars estarían muy bien merecidos! Bayona ha hecho un trabajo maravilloso. Muchas gracias por ver nuestro vídeo. Significa mucho para ambos ❤️
Me sorprende que en algunos países esta historia de superacion no fuese conocida. En España nunca les hemos olvidado.
@@NadqaCreo que tiene relación que el hecho sucedió en Latinoamérica, que los chicos eran jóvenes uruguayos, un país súper pequeño que no tenía mucha exposición a externos, además hoy en día más que nada hay comunidades que no creen lo qué pasó en Los Andes, niegan completamente lo sucedido.
@@triviajjunie9896yo ni había nacido cuando sucedió, pero esto fue un hecho histórico que en casa se habla en la actualidad de vez en cuando.

Your reactions appear so genuine and hearfelt 😊
A fellow Uruguayan said (in better words than I could ever find), what i have been trying to express since this movie came out, “Bayona took the viewers to the mountain, and brought the deceased back home”. Is the closure of a chapter for us, who grew up hearing about their story, and for their families. And is also the beginning of a new one for the actors, and hopefully for the industry in our language🙏🏻
As a canadian, Ive never seen the brutality of snow so accurately protrayed on screen. The fact that they did so much filming on location along with the expert sound design, it just turned out fantastic.
Uruguay is a country with a mesothermal climate: cold days in winter and very hot days in summer, but it maintains a stable climate between seasons.
Imagine what it must have been like for them to fall and experience -30°C snow for the first time in their lives.
@@dgpaste this is what I thought too, especially since their clothing didn't fit the climate. I live in Finland where it can get as cold as -40°C in winter, I came back after the Christmas holiday to -37°C and it was unbearable even in the right clothing ! it feels like your skin is burning and I got a horrible headache, I can't wrap my head around the fact that they had to endure that for so long
They filmed in Sierra Nevada, Spain. The backgrounds were filmed in the original crash site and were added digitally.
This was the first time i cried during watching a movie in a long time...its rare to see a movie so emotional that it makes you cry nowadays
It absolutely destroyed us! Hadn’t cried that hard in a while!
I’m so happy people are giving this movie so much attention. Especially in the english speaking community, loved the video💓💓💓
This movie absolutely deserves it! So glad it’s getting recognition from The Academy as well! Thank you for watching!
12:24 actually, Carlos Valeta was thrown out when the plane broke off and he survived, he tried to reach them that same day but couldn't make it, he was so close but at the same time so far, he could see the plane and his friend but then he completely dissapeard in the snow. You can hear it in the movie when they were talking to the pilot, there were people screaming in the background shouting his last name
His dad delivered my brother and I. He was never the same after his passing, that is according to my mom.
I'm uruguayan, one of the survivors came to give a talk in my highschool and we could ask him questions, one of the guys in my class asked "what does human meat tastes like?"
He responded: "i don't know, we covered in snow so we couldn't feel the taste."
Poor guys.
Im from Peru (in South America), ths story was nothing new for us latinos, so we weren't exactly excited for this movie. Man we were blown away, this accident is like general culture for us, everyone knows how it goes, but man this movie wrecked EVERYONE. The decision to narrate though Numa... was amazing, wasn't expected it. The survivors said that Numa was one of the most helpful guys up in the mountains, he was so proactive, loosing him was the wake up call to go search for help. I really recommend watching bts footage and interviews, the survivor and the actor have formed beautiful relationships. Great reaction guys, I really appreciate this one
Fun fact: all actors in this movie are total newbies and it's their first time on the big screen, so you can imagine how hard they worked. They literally shoot 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.
Ocho cameos

@@F.Picknaipa te volví a contestar pero creo que me borran el comentario por el link, básicamente si buscas en la RAE verás que latino, a no tiene solo un significado, sino varios, es tan correcto decir que los latinos son nativos de Lacio, Italia como decir que son las personas provenientes de Latinoamérica o los idiomas que provienen del latín
The costuming and makeup is like nothing I've seen. That time was SO accurately captured, it's truly incredible. No shortcuts. No "good enough". Incredible work.
The hair and make up team have been nominated for an academy award at this years Oscars.
Out of the 16 survivors, 14 are alive. Javier Methol, the oldest one in the group and the man who lost his wife in the avalanche, died in 2015. And Jose Luis Inciarte died in 2023. He actually got to watch a rough cut of the movie made specially for him by Bayona.
My dad is a Chilean and so this story was very familiar to me, I have seen and heard a lot about the survivors and the accident itself, but I didn't expect this movie to hit SO DEEP as it did, I felt every single emotion I suppose they felt, and I loved that the director did not sensationalized the canibalism aspect of the story, he focused on the suffering and will to survive of the ones who made it to day 72.
IMO, a unexpected masterpiece
People do what they need to do to survive. There should be no judgement on that.
Truly a phenomenal film! J.A. Bayona understands how to inject emotion into a film without it feeling artificial. He is extremely talented!
Many of the survivors had a cameo in the movie.
- Carlos "Carlitos" Paez played his own dad, when giving the name list on the phone
- The real Roberto Canessa (the med student) became a really respected cardiologist and is playing the doctor when they are found.
- The real Nando Parrado opens the door in the airport to the actor who plays him
Another interesting thing that happened is that Nando and Roberto walked 10 days to Chile believing they where near Curico as the pilot said, but the pilot was mistaken, the plane crashed inside Argentina, and it was 2 days close to a town in the other direction, even in the middle of that course there was an abandoned hotel.
I remember that from the book. The hotel was only five miles away, closed for the season, and packed with canned food. 😢
Numa´s nephew and Coche Inciarte acted in the movie too.
Noo que bajon que triste. Podrian haber sobrevivido de saber donde estaban y sin tantos horrores
@@isoldejaneholland8370Yes but I think there was a large, impassable river between them and the hotel so even if they had gone that way, they wouldn't have been able to access the hotel because of the river
@@piratesswoop725
I didn't know that. I did a charity swim across the Hudson River once, but I was healthy, it was summer, and I was surrounded by other participants and canoes alongside in case we got into trouble midway.
One of the greatest feats in history, even professional climbers don't understand how those two guys could go through all those mountains without dying.
Great reaction.
Not only were the photos real, Numa's note was real as well. Also, the guy who read the names on the radio. That's one of the survivors, Carlos Páez Rodríguez. He's playing his own dad. And the doctor who receives Roberto, that's actually Roberto Canessa. Oh and the guy that helped them on the horse, he gave them basically all his food and road for hours to get help. The survivors visited him for the rest of his life. And now they visit his children. Finally, on Roberto, he helped went on to create respirators for ICU's during the pandemic. Just...there's so many facts about this that blow your mind. And I'm grateful to what Bayona did for La Sociedad de la Nieve because the survivors said it was the first time someone had done their story true justice. You guys would love the documentary
What a great movie, thank you for reacting to it and for being so respectful. A lot of people are comparing this movie to the Hollywood version "Alive" ignoring that the real survivors where a huge part in the creation of the society of the snow, even making cameos in the movie.
The survivors decided that the narrator was going to be Numa because he played a huge role inside their community and his death was the reason why they finally decided to go on their last expedition.
Thank you for watching this with us! It truly means the world to us. Having Numa narrate was an excellent choice but man did it destroy us ❤️
Nando Parrado served as a technical adviser & was very involved in the making of Alive. In fact, there was a BTS style companion piece released on HBO around the time of its debut on the channel. The Hollywood version wasn’t a big blockbuster over dramatization of the story. It handled the story just as respectfully.
@@llorona7847 i wouldn't go as far as to say it handled the story respectfully, pretty sure the survivors themselves have said they disliked alive because it wasn't accurate most of the time.
they gave a lot of the victims fake names, going as far as to ¨white wash¨ (if that's even the right word for this context lol don't take that too seriously) by not even mentioning Uruguayan culture, not saying you can't like Alive but it does have its flaws.. it doesn't handle its theme seriously in the same way that society of the snow does, you could tell that bayona has a deep respect and love for the story
I went to the cinema in Argentina, at the end of the movie everyone wanted to clap, but it was impossible, the sadness, the silence and the crying was all over the theater, never experienced something like that in the cinema before, even outside people (me included ) continued crying
Vasco's father (the boy who died, having hallucinations screaming for his father), returned to the cordillera to take his son's remains even though repatriating a body was illegal. He had problems with the law, but managed to bury his son in Uruguay. Coco's mother expressed in an interview that she was relieved with herself that each of the survivors had a piece of her son. Marcelo's mother did not have the courage to see her son's childhood friend (one of the survivors) again, because he survived but her son did not. Carlitos's father was adamant in the hope that his son would return alive (Marcelo played his own father in the film). Nando's father started dating a new woman in the time frame of the incident, they say he even got rid of Nando's things (thinking he was dead). Nando says that his father was what motivated me to come back.
(I also forgot to mention that Coco's parents and his girlfriend traveled to Chile thinking he was alive because of a mistake with the list)
Concha de la Lora con ese último dato :'( Me dolió especialmente la muerte de Coco en la película porque el actor que lo interpreta luce exactamente igual a uno de mis ex compañeros de secundaria. Era como verlo a él pasar por todo eso y morir, era tremendo.
@@Mariana.11 sí, demasiado. he visto las entrevistas a la mamá de coco y de verdad me genera una gran pena verla. también vi la foto del actor junto al hermano de coco.
I was BEGGING that you would do Society of the Snow, I’m Spanish and the proudness that we feel for this to be a Spanish produced and directed movie is crazy. Hope it wins an Oscar🤞🏻 Thanks for reacting❤️
increíble trabajo, se nota el cariño, admiración y respeto que tiene Bayona por estos hombres
Thank you so so much for your support, we are truly thrilled to have you here with us!
It's an amazing thing for Spain and this film absolutely MUST win at the Oscars!
Ever since I saw Alive I was wanting a version in Spanish with young Latinos.
It is worth 30 year wait
No es producción 100% española igual
@@OfficialMediaKnights many of us (from the Southern Cone) prefer to be called South Americans, as the term "Latino" involves a political concept and an ethnicity definition for people actually living in the U.S.
Not criticizing, just sharing a point of view. ✌🏻
I served on a Montain unit of the Chilean Army and I can't tell You how much times we hear this story from the rescuers that participated on the real rescue when we were on mountain maneuvers, so when I sat to see this Movie I went without any expectation, but OMG Bayona was able to tell the human part that I missed when I was on the Army, such an amazing film I loved every moment of it
An incredible event and even more incredible is the 10 day journey of Nando and Roberto over the mountains (read Nando's book to really get into what drove him over the mountains - it is amazing).
Details that were changed or left out of the movie:
- Plane hit the rocks three times: first was the tail hitting the top, tilting the plane's nose down and breaking the bottom of the tail, second was right wing hitting a rock face and the third hit was the left wing hitting a rock outcropping and slicing the tail clean off. Rotor blades from the wing engine also hit passengers.
- Carlos Valeta, who fell off the tail section, survived the fall. Survivors at the fuselage saw him coming down the mountain side, but he fell into the deep soft snow, disappeared out of sight and suffocated. Survivors found him buried in the snow, several days later when scouting.
- The pilot did not say "go with God" but asked for the gun in the plane's glove compartment.
- Small team tried to go down the mountain but the spring warmth was melting the surface ice, making the trek impossible, effectively imprisoning them in the valley.
- From the top of the mountain, Roberto saw the road that travels at the base of the mountain range - it's about 20km away. He and Nando had an argument if they should go down and try going down the valley again to reach that road. There is an abandoned hotel at the road, but not much traffic (though now there is as people travel to the Valley of Tears frequently). At the time, it probably would've been an impossible task to venture down the valley - record snowfall made the entire base of the mountain a deathtrap.
- When the rescue helicopters came in, they could only take half of the survivors out and rest had to stay behind and spend one last night at the fuselage. Some of the rescue crew stayed behind the take care of them.
First time a film actually captures the extent of eating the dead. Nando and Roberto had to do the journey as they had ran out of bodies to eat. Details of the hunger and state of mind of the survivors is detailed in the books that they wrote, each emphasizing the fact that when hunger reaches a certain threshold, your body will eat whatever it can to survive and your emotions and feelings take the backseat. Continuous exposure to the thin air also made them extremely tired all the time, making it difficult to formulate even basic rational thoughts, which is why there are body parts all over there place - no one cares.
One of my all time favorite survivor tales because of the tenacity of Nando Parrado. It is fitting to make Numa the lead in the film as Nando in real life doesn't want to be singled out from the group and Numa is effectively the voice of the deceased, telling the story.
Awesome to see your reactions to this movie and the event.
Wow these are some incredible facts which we didn't know, so thank you for taking the time to share them with us!!
Their survival is truly incredible and I feel like the film did a fantastic job at capturing the dark and the light moments.
Thank you for your support!
Another thing I noticed is that didn’t nando give Carlitos a baby red shoe, telling him to hang it up in the plane. And that when he returned it would be a pair? Maybe I am remembering incorrect 😂
And although I know this doesn’t make sense to include but some things they didn’t add, was that when( I think it was Gustavo) teeth became loose, Roberto had to chew up his food for him and feed it to him that way.
@@icecreamsandwich652 You are remembering correctly. The shoes were united when the helicopter landed.
In the alive book, they confirmed the road that Canessa saw, it is not a road but another mountain (they used another term I cannot remember).
@@prettyk3910 Nando went into that in his book. The road is visible from the top, but hard to make out because of the river.
Roberto Canessa is one of the greatest pediatric cardiologist in the world. Nando Parrado is a very successful business man.
A thing that hit me - when you said how these movies make you realise how much you take for granted, I felt that, too. And Roberto Canessa has talked about that, how he looked differently at just drinking a glass of water after coming home, knowing that on the mountain that one single glass of water would mean several hours of working to melt snow, having to take advantage of every minute the sun was out to help you. It's incomprehensible.
Thank you so much for reacting to this!
I love the decision to make Numa the narrator. Its an unexpected twist for those who did not know the story, and in a way, he serves as the voice for those who did not survive.
especially since according to the survivors(who didn’t even know who he was till the accident) he was this peaceful and compassionate person and after his death and given that note it gave the motivation to Nando and Roberto to leave to chile which ended up in their rescue
Gracias muchachos
En nombre de los uruguayos
Fue de las reacciones más sentidas y respetuosas que ví
❤❤❤❤
Tal cual!!! Suscribo
Literal, me puse a llorar con ellos.
Que hayan incluido sobrevivientes reales en la película es genial.
Sin palabras muchas gracias
Two amazing facts the film did not show:
- The chilean muleteer who found them was with two of his children when he saw Nando and Roberto. He left them there with them while he had to ride for ten hours until he got back to his little town to get help. That is how far they were. He was an amazing man. When he got to the police station thay didn’t believe what he was saying was true (it was basically imposible for him to have crossed paths with one of the players after all that time) and thought he was drunk. Luckily, one police officer believed in his word and pushed for his boss to make the call to the military rescue service.
(The muleteer stayed in touch for the rest of his life with the survivors, who called him “dad Sergio” and claimed they owed him their lifes).
- They military could not rescue all of the survivors at the same time because the weather was so bad that only one helicopter was able to reach the wreckage point. So, some of the survivors had to stay one or two more nights in the Andes. Three trained soldiers stayed with them, to make sure they would be okay, but they were so scared of the rugbiers (knowing how they had managed to survive), that they slept in a tent outside instead of with them inside the wreckage. Just one of the soldiers stayed with them.
"We get to see the explanation.../The plane crash"
Not entirely; the film does set the general facts right: the plane needed to fly between the Andes Mountains through a gap that ends in Curico. But several things conspired to make the disaster happen, not just turbulence.
First, the plane was a slow Fairchild not suitable for an emergency climb (the Fairchild was an american licensed version of a dutch airplane model, was nicknamed an "iron sleigh" because it was underpowered and slow when climbing); the next chain in the disaster was a navigation error: due to weather and limited radar coverage in the mountains, the crew on the plane was responsible to keep track of their position at all times using a process called dead reckoning (you basically factor your speed, your heading, winds, and the time to follow manually in a map your progress).
Usually, that leg of the journey took (at least) 11 minutes before turning north to Santiago; but the crew sent a radio transmission indicating they were turning north just 3 minutes after they started the crossing (to this day it's a mistery how they lost 8 minutes in their calculations); so, when they turned north and started their descent, they were flying right to the mountains (hidden by clouds).
When Flight 571 was hit by turbulence and the air pockets, the plane was already flying the wrong way and would have crashed anyway into a mountain. The pilots messed up badly (and probably even made another mistake that took the plane closer to the mountains), but they tried to save the plane all the way to the end: the plane partially flew between a small "dent" in the peak of the mountain they had ahead; had it impacted a little bit to the left or to the right, it would have crashed right into the side of the mountain with no survivors. Aiming to that gap allowed the forward section of the fuselage to clear the peak and slide down the valley (unfortunately, all the energy applied to clear the peaks meant the fuselage was now travelling too fast forward to make a safe sudden stop; that's why when it stops, with the snow, the energy is such it ripped the seats of the battered fuseage).
"The surviving pilot"
The only surviving pilot gave one of the few clues we have to understand the accident: he claimed the plane had just passed Curico. It's still debated if he was shocked and in denial (repeating a piece of information he knew it was wrong) or if he was really convinced that "near Curico" was their true position.
"The plane can't be seen"
Indeed, for one cruel factor: the Uruguayan Air Force livery at the time painted the roofs of their planes WHITE. On top of that, the plane had flown off course perpendicular to the route they should have followed, for quite some time. All rescue planes were literally looking for clues in the wrong place.
"The avalanche"
Many people think that melting snow produces avalanche, but that's not always the case: an avalanche produces when snow has grown to a point where it won't stay packed togheter due to gravity; the more snow there is in an unstable wall, the more there is a risk the layers of snow will collapse with something as simple as a breeze (and the more snow there is, the more destructive the avalanche will be).
Nice reaction, and see you in the next one.
Woah! Thanks for the info, this is very interesting
Hello guys, this is Sandra again, from Argentina. I am so happy that you reacted to this movie which has such a motivational story!!.
I was 10 when it happened, and I remember it vividly because the Uruguayan team spent the night here, in Mendoza, my province, because of bad weather conditions on the mountain on octubre 12th . There are some photos they took here downtown, where Numa is in. That is why they make the trip the following day,on october 13th.
For you to know and to know how Fate works: Numa' s friend, who convinced him to join the trip, decided not to travel because he needed to study for a test at university, so he did not travel that day. And poor Numa was not par of the team, so he knew only 3 more boys from other schools, but they died in the accident, so Numa must have felt very lonely. Even though, he joined the group and did his best to support others. That is the way he is remembered by the survivors.Fortunately, Bayona has made an acknowledgment to those who did not come back but who where absolutely necessary for those who did come back Fun fact: There are some cameos of the real survivors: Nando is the man who opens the door for the actor who plays him and his family at the airport before the trip. Carlitos Paez plays his own father at reading the list of survivors.Roberto is the doctor who supports and carries the actor who plays him at the hospital when they are rescued. And at the begining of the movie, Numa's home is the real Numa' s home. And there are some others.
Thank you both again for such beautiful reactions. You are very sensitive people. THANK YOU!!!!!
Hello Sandra! Thank you for writing such an insightful comment. It’s incredible to hear the amount of atención to detail Bayona was able to provide with this film. The way they treated those who did not come back in this film is touching and beautiful. Thank you for giving us some additional information on the story. We truly appreciate it!
@@OfficialMediaKnights oh, one more thing: everybody and everywhere are talking about the great resemblance of the actor who plays Numa with Adam Driver!
@@OfficialMediaKnightsy coche inciarte en el bar y Daniel en la iglesia, Moncho en el aeropuerto,el sobrino de Numa,había más pero quedaron en el corte de director
"Keep taking care of each other, and tell everyone what we did on the mountains". This movie is an ode to humanity, 52 years later we're still talking about this story, new people are getting to know it and it is restoring faith in humanity and survival, showing what human beings are capable of overcoming when we LOVE each other. Props to J.A Bayona, one of the best cinematographers of our time. This movie and the entire crew deserve that Oscar.
When Parrado and Canessa were at the top of the Mountain and saw all those mountains they almost lost all hope. Canessa wanted to return to the plane but Parrado did not, he told Canessa: "I can't go back, if I do sooner or later I will have to eat my mother and my sister."
Parrado's mother and sister were some of the few bodies that the survivors did not consume out of respect for Nando. But he told them that if necessary, they have his permission to use their bodies.
Edit: there was 5 bodies the survivors didn't touch.
According to interviews they did not touch at least 5 bodies. Nando's mom and sister, Liliana (Javier's wife) and neither of the last 3 who died after the avalanche. Chilean rescuers said there were at least 8 bodies intact
@@gabx0729 I've just checked it out, you are right. There was 5 bodied they didn't use. Thanks for the correction.
The cast losing over 20kg (44lbs) each also shows the dedication to the art. Perfection.
I love the Impossible and was pleasantly surprised this was made by the same director.
I just love that a movie about Uruguayans (which is my mom's birth country) is being reacted by Americans.
Gracias un montón! ❤️
No somos americanos pero se agradece igual! Sending you all the love. Thank you for the support ❤️
@@OfficialMediaKnights really! where are you from
@@OfficialMediaKnights Oops 😅 my bad
marcelo's death was the one that make me cry more. He was the leader, the one that tried to keep them going from the start. They all respected him so much.
I think he was also the one who proposed the travelling
I wonder if you guys realize the connection you convey to your audience. I love how authentic you both are and how that translates through my viewing and reviewing
This is such an immense compliment, you have no idea how big of a smile this comment put on our faces! Truly, it means the world, so thank you for your kind words and support!
Bayona did a great job with this story. Best film about this horrific incident, great performances, score, cinematography, sound and effects. I cried three times and I'm glad I got to see it at the cinema. One of the best films of 2023
Absolutely agree! We were emotionally invested on a whole other level. J.A. Bayona understands how to make the audience feel everything.
The moment where they all come back home is where I was weeping. It may not 100% what really happened, but I still cried for them! This is why I prefer when Bayona does movies like this and The Impossible.
according to the survivors its pretty close to 100% what happened, they worked with the director, the movie is based on a book by the same name, written by a journalist and schoolmate of the survivors, the book tellls the story of ALL the passengers in the plane, unlike other books about the disaster. Also the house of numa used in the film, its the real house were numa lived that still is part of the family. And survivors did cameos in the movie. The real Nando is seen opening the airport door so the ones playing him, his mother and sister come in. And the one reading the names of all the survivors at the end on the phone, its the real Carlitos, playing as his dad when he gave the list to the radio journalis. Also the voice of the radio journalist is the same man that did the real anouncement back then
It happened like that. Roy Harley said in an interview that night they got to be ALL in the same hospital they asked to be brought together and insisted on asking for more food to the doctors and even stole a cake from a nurse ( Roy says apparently it was one of the nurses birthday that night and they were so hungry that took the cake and ate it with their hands) in the last scene you see a big empty tray on the floor so I think it implies that moment that Roy Harley described.
After they left the hospital some came back first and others went away from media but most of them returned together to Uruguay and dec 28th held a press conference to address once and for all what happened up there. But the movie doesnt show this just the last moment at the hospital and I think its beautiful because it is the last time they were sleeping under same roof and it shows how much they took care of each other until the end. ❤
Está película cuenta tal cual los hechos sucedidos pues fueron guiados por los verdaderos supervivientes
One would say the mountain broke the survivors forever but, in their words, they are the happiest men, they are all successful and extremely grateful to be alive. They all have families and grandchildren. Canessa, Parrado and Paez made a bunch of interviews in english too, worth watching
Mas gente deberia reaccionar a esta película, es hermosa y dolorosa a la vez, gracias por verla en nuestro idioma! ❤
Una pelicula increible! Llena de momentos que duelen y momentos que nos llenan el corazon. Gracias por ver nuestro video ❤️
Hola amigos, soy de Uruguay, vivo a unos 15 kmts de Casa Pueblo, casa que ha construido Carlos Páez Vilaró, padre de Carlitos uno de los sobrevivientes, les quiero agradecer por haber reaccionado a esta película, que narra parte de nuestra historia, y mas que nada, nos enseña de lo que puede ser capaz el ser humano, lamentablemente vivimos en tiempos difíciles pero bueno, hay que creer que podemos mejorar como personas... un abrazo desde Uruguay....
As a Uruguayan I wish i could put into words how grateful we are for this movie. This is a story we get taught about since being little because the people who came back became heroes of perseverance to us. We are also such a small country (3 million, 1,5 on the capital where they lived) we all basically know each other, so much so, I went to the cinema to watch it in december with two of the survivors despite knowing them personally (Roberto was one of the climbers). Them and their families were incredibly thankful for the film and even got emotional, even though it was their fourth time seeing it, Bayona previewed the movie for them before anyone else. I'm so happy we get to share the story of these men, both alive and dead, with the world in the most wonderful way.
Replying to what you said; They all made a great life of themselves. Roberto Canessa became the best pediatric cardiac surgeon on the country (and one of the best of the world, he is celebrating 100k patients live touched), Nando and a lot more of them became succesful business men, etc
Fun fact: 50:40 the black and white footage shown is the actual tape recording the Chilean Air Force took while rescuing the survivors.
Wish more people would react to this masterpiece. It was amazing. Truly. The fact that I’m Uruguayan myself made it just hit close to home. Felt like I was watching cousins go through something like this.
The real survivors have said in multiple interviews that, of all movies made about the Andes flight disaster, this is the most realistic one. Greetings from Uruguay, great channel.
omg, thank you so much for watching this. I've watched this movie twice, one on Netflix and the other one at the cinema. it was a gut-wrenching experience
It truly is, it's utterly devastating. What a masterpiece!
Would millennials survive this today, without their phones?
Facts abt the movie: Nando Parrado was actually in a coma for 3 days after the accident, they save him by resting his head on a frozen part of the plane. That is why he has the black eyes. When he came back to Uruguay, his father had already sell all of the belongings of him, his sister and mother bc he thought they were dead, and he also give nando´s room to one of his cousins, so he didn't have a place to stay when he came back home, and on top of that, his father was dating another woman already, so nando left his house bc he couldn´t stand it. That man didn´t catch a damn break. Another thing its that actually the survivors are in the movie. For example, the real Nando Parrado open the door in the airport for the actor who´s playing him. Carlitos Paez its playing his own father, the one who was reading de survivors names, and Canessa was behind the actor who played him when they come to the hospital.
Did you read all these details about Nando's return in his book? I read only Roberto's book. Didn't know these details about Nando.
Yes he talk about this on his book, but he tell the details like with some kind of love and compassion for him. He never blamed his dad for what he did.@@cobrakaier238
I think my response didnt went trough lol, but yes, he talks abt this in his book. He tells abt how his father sold his motorbike and when he came back the person who bought it gave it back to him and all.@@cobrakaier238
Uruguayan here! So glad this part of our history is getting recognised internationally.
This movie was a masterpiece. Bayona did such a great job at telling such a gut-wrenching story, he respected every character and didn't make the whole movie only about those who survived but also about the ones that didn't but still were so important to the story. That's why I think that choosing Numa as the narrator was the perfect choice. He gives the story so much depth and sentiment encouraging those who lived to carry on with the memories. Other than that the acting, sound score and sound design were brilliant too, definitely one of the best movies I've watched in a while.
Alive was better
@@garyclarke9685 No
As a Uruguayan, I gotta say that we all grow up listening to this story but we are a very small country so not many people knows about it. I think I can speak in the name of most Uruguayans when I say that we cant be happier that finally people all around the world is starting to know about this. Thank you for your reaction and for helping people not to forget about what our boys did in the mountains. Vamo' arriba Uruguay
This movie is awesome. I was on the edge of my couch. I can't believe it's a true story.
Couldn’t have said it any better! Knowing this is a true story doesn’t make it any more unbelievable. What a phenomenal film!
OMG, nobody else was reacting to this so I was so sure nobody was going to. I never clicked so fast when I saw this video. A fun fact is that some of the survivors are actually in the background in some scenes!
Glad we got to watch this! Truly a phenomenal film! Glad they included some of the survivors.
It’s amazing that this is a first acting job for most of the actors.
Nando parrado said in an interview that what kept him going was thinking about his father having to go through losing his entire family so he needed to get back home to him, he also said that the only thing he thought about when he and Roberto were walking was "you're not going to stop until your face hits the snow and you're not able get back up again", I truly can't imagine having that amount of resilience and strength after everything they went through up there, all of them are truly a testament to peoples will to live even in the worst conditions.
If you’re interested in knowing more about the story I really recommend watching interviews of the survivors or even some of their conferences, sadly after the accident the survivors were cruelly judge, some even laughed about the fact that they were “private school kids” or from families with money. I’m glad that this movie can bring some peace to the survivors and the families of the ones who couldn’t make it, so that people can know their truth. I’m sure no one is in a position to judge their methods since no one can even imagine being in their position.
Where can I watch interviews?
CZcamsl
Reading the various books about this is almost surreal. You go into it expecting it's a horror show, and it is, but what shines through the most to me is how heroic of a story it is once you reach the end. It's brutal, and it's barbaric, but these people (most of whom were essentially just kids lol) fucking pulled through by sheer force of will. It's one of the most unexpectedly inspiring stories I've ever come across. What they did is impossible.
I congratulate you for your video, your reaction and your emotion. From here, a Uruguayan who lives in Australia, my father was a friend of one of the non-survivors, I congratulate you for your big heart and empathy.
Some of the real survivors worked as extras in the movie. A small moment at the airport when a man opens the door to a woman and her daughter, that is Nando opening the door to those who play his mother and his sister who died in the accident. The man who says the names of the boys on the radio is Carlitos himself (playing his own father) and the doctor himself who treats them when they are rescued, is Roberto, the doctors of the boys in the accident. They were one of the few who were able to return. And also another detail is that the announcer who gave the news that they had been found is the same announcer who gave the news to the world in that miraculous moment ❤
And you know the scene where Numa was looking to the book and taking to his dog was Numa'real childhood home
I am from the Canary Islands (Spain) and I think your reactions are among the most sincere I have seen in this film. In fact, I have seen it several times because of the emotion that comes from your reactions.
Beautiful reaction. I am Argentine and Spanish and it is nice that our language can be heard on your channel. Thank you. You guys showed a lot of respect and emotion while watching this movie. Los felicito a ambos :)
Out of the reaction I have watched, your is the best one, you guys did not make stupid commentss, you always wer so respecful and you made me cr with all your sincere tears! you got my sub! I hope you watched the make of and listed some of the survivors interviews
Now I have two favorite true-story survival movies: Society of the Snow, and The Impossible. So well done, incredible! You two are quickly becoming my favorite reactors. Being fully immersed in your enjoyment while appreciating the technical aspects of filmmaking, writing, the deeper themes, etc. You represent exactly what makes reactions so enjoyable
This is truly such a huge compliment and it truly made our day! Thank you so much for your kind words and support, it means so much to us!
I remember going to the drive-in when I was a kid and seeing Survive! with my parents. So I've known about this tragedy almost my whole life. Then in the early 90s, I saw Alive as an adult. This movie is such an amazing adaptation of this story. Maybe it's because I'm older now, but this movie seems to give a fuller, richer picture of these people, who they were, and what they went through. Thank you J.A. Bayona. Great reaction!!
another fun fact! (which is actually something that people have mentioned on tiktok and twitter as analysis and observation) At the beginning of the film, more precisely in the mass, in a certain way a parallel is made to everything they had to go through. *"One does not live by bread alone. Take this, all of you, and eat of it. Because this is my body”.*
What was their lives like afterwards. Roberto Canessa become a paediatric heart surgeon. Gustavo, a medical student at the time of the crash, gave up his medical studies because he had seen too much death and he founded a pharmaceutical company. Eduardo Strauch is an architect. Pancho is a lawyer. Javier eventually remarried and had another 4 children. Nando became a racing car driver and a film producer. Some of the young men were quite shattered by their experience. Carlitos for example had problems with drugs and alcohol. ( but he states he had an addictive personality before the mountain). Some of them such as Bobby Francois have barely spoken about his experience.
Roberto Canessa, one of the two that made it through the mountains after 10 days, went on to become one of the most important children's heart surgeon in the entire country, saving countless of kids over the years. He even ran for president once, getting just a little over 1000 votes 😆
Nando Parrado, the other one that made it to Chile, became a race driver, and after retiring he went on to become a very succesful businessman.
14 out of the 16 survivors are still alive to this day (Javier Methol and Coche Inciarte passed away of old age in the last few years), and all of them have families and succesful jobs.
Thank you for sharing this amazing movie about my country, us Uruguayans are very proud of the survivors, everyone learns this story at a very young age and seeing it represented so well makes us very happy.
(Extra: Many of the actual survivors make cameos in the movie, for example Carlitos Páez portrays his own father when reading the list of survivors, Nando Parrado is the man that opens and holds the airport door for movie Nando and his family, Roberto Canessa is one of the doctors that helps them through the hallways of the hospital when they get there, and many more)
Nando Parrado actually went in coma after hitting his head on the crash, the guys tought he was dead so they put him on the "cold" side with the other bodies until he woke some days after like nothing happened. For a lot of years there was no medic able to say how he just woke up of a coma without effects and on a situation like that. Some years ago medics discovered that he the cold temperature helps with brain damage, so thinking that he was dead was what saved him.
Is not just a suitcase, Gustavo Zerbino was taking with him 29 people, later he give every single thing to his friend's family
Watched a ton of reactions of this movie and have to comeback here to say that you guys are the best!
Guys. I really really enjoyed this video. I did meet a couple of the survivors over 30 years ago. All 16 of them had unbelievable fruitful lives, and as you surely now, except for Coche Inciarte and Javier Methol they are in their early 70s now, enjoying their families and grandchildren, and some of them, like Doc Canessa still work (he's an eminent children cardiologist) and are exemplary, useful and beautiful human beings. This is, for me at least, and I grew up with it, is probably the most amazing human survival story ever. Thank you for your genuine emotions, both the survivors and those who didn't leave the mountains deserve this and more.
Unlike other adaptations from the past, I love that this movie is not just about the suffering and tragedy from the event. It chooses to focus more on the aspects of overcoming, resilience and hope, which is also what the survivors always chose to focus on.
The one at the Telephone saying the name of the survivors and says " Carlitos, my son " is Carlitos indeed playing the rol of his own Father. Just imagine what scene . And most most powerful cameo was Nando at the airport, NAndo open the door for her "sister and mom" to come in. And the doctor that receive them is Canessa itself
I've been a huge fan of Bayona since I saw "El orfanato" in the theatre back in 2007. When I saw the trailer for this a few months back, I knew I'd see it eventually but I held off for a while cuz I knew it would be absolutely devastating. Finally watched it last night and today I've spent abt 20 hours watching YT reactions. Yours, of course, is one of the best. Of course I knew of this story, but just the cursory details, so naturally when Numa was narrating I also assumed he'd make it out alive. The detail of putting the names and ages of all those who perished on the mountainside was so subtle and yet so impactful, and when his came on screen... I didn't know I could cry harder but somehow I did. And yet the two of you touched on something so brilliant in this film- Bayona manages to thread ALL emotional touchstones within it, rather than just focus on the tragedy. There's beauty AND horror, devastation AND resilience, and love AND pain, despair AND hope. It's truly extraordinary, and worth every single second of watching.
the way gustavo wouldn't go on the helicopter if he could not bring his friends belongings with him... so selfless, i love it.
This is nominated for Best Makeup and Hairstyling and Best International Feature at this years Oscars. I remember when I was 9 years old and this happened, it had me wondering could I eat humans to survive? My 9 year old self was no because all I knew was my family. My XX year old self knows I would have to do anything to help my fellow survivors. I would go out and chop the bodies. I would tend to the hurt and sick. I would keep them laughing as much as possible. Then when the ordeal was over, I would be able to let my guard down and have my PTSD breakdown. This was a life altering event.
I have watched this movie four times and I have always cried too. It´s so overwhelming, and the craziest thing is that It´s a true history. I am Uruguayan, I´m so proud....really proud of all these heroes, not only for the survivors, but also for all who couldn´t left that mountains. I know Canessa, I work with him some years ago and he is really a special person. I´m very gratefull for this reaction, thanks you and regards from Uruguay, a very small country ....with a huge heart!!!
The movie of the decade for me - it will haunt me until I die! The acting, cinematography, music, acting, directing and make up were beyond words! Such a gift to cinema.
I just watched the movie and cried like a little child. The acting performance of the protagonists is outstanding.
Thank you for making this video, the fact that you saw the movie in its original language is beautiful, my first language is Spanish and when I realized that the movie was in that language I felt proud because the director decided to make it that way, all The conversations and phrases touched my heart, I have seen this movie about 5 times and it is inevitable to cry, watching it with you has made me cry again, Thank you.
I think one of the things that's so refreshing in this movie is how never at one point does anyone try to kill each other. How do I explain this? The brief moments where they do argue, everyone makes valid points and arguments. You have to survive, but how far are you willing to go? It may not be ultra realistic, but it's still very comforting to see.
Not realistic?
What are you talking about?
I haven’t seen the movie yet
Are you talking about the acting not being believable?
Cuz this story really happened
This is based on a true event and they kept it as close and respectful as they could. They wouldn’t want to add things that simply did not happen.
It’s actually extremely realistic because it is what happened, I recommend you to watch some interviews of the survivors if you want more insight on the relationship they developed but that is exactly why it is called the society of the snow, because they had to form their own society in order to survive, they never thought of them as individuals but as collective
Wow Wow Wow!! I cried all over again watching this with you guys. I'm one of the people who request that you guys watch this movie, and I'm so happy you did. What amazing and heart breaking story to watch. I couldn't imagine living through something like this. I am now officially subscribed to this channel. Another movie that's in my top three favorite movie is Memento. I Haven't seen anyone react to this movie. It's about a man who suffers from short term memory loss and is looking for his wife's murder. it is so amazing the way the story is told. The director is Christopher Nolan who is very well known, and it's one of his earlier films. It's one of those's movies you have to pay attention to all the way through. Something to keep in mind if you watch this movie is that it is told from the beginning to the end. It makes so much sense because the main character suffers from short term memory loss, so you have to backtrack through out the movie. And again the way you guys analyze movies is amazing!!!
Thank you sooo much for this wonderful comment, you brightened our day, we're so glad to have you with us!
Memento is absolutely on our list, we're huge Nolan fans but that's one we haven't seen yet!
Thank you again for your support, it means the world to us!
There was an earlier version of the movie, ALIVE, released in 1993, And I remember watching it on CBS back in 1995.
It's one of the saddest true life survival stories of all time.
Yes!! We were recommended Alive in the comments and will definitely get to that one also! This is such a devastating survival story.
@@OfficialMediaKnights Alive was not faithful to the true story. They added things that were not true and never happened. The actual survivors didn't like that movie at all.
Yes. ALIVE. I remember watching it when I was younger. It was a very good movie.
@@OfficialMediaKnights What's done is done. In a hindsight, you guys should have probably watched ALIVE first before watching Society of the Snow.😉
@@xongaming4456 I was a teenager when Alive came out. It was made with full co-operation with the survivors, especially Nando and Carlitos. The two films are interesting to compare. Both have their strengths over the other. Yes, Society Of The Snow was more 'realistic', but Alive managed to give a better over view of what was actually happening and what the group's plan was. Alive's crash scene is outstanding for the year it was done. Yes Alive is American actors and they don't look as thin, but the selection of which scenes to include was actually superior. Having read most of the books from the survivors, there's a lot that Society Of The Snow missed out on - mainly the thorough planning of the final expedition and the distraction of finding the tail section of the plane. Both films are excellent for different reasons.
Did you know that the man who read the list of survivors is Carlos Paez? one of the survivors in real life. Actually, his father was who read it that day. He played his own father and found himself❤
