Thanks for watching everyone! If this is a story that interests you I'd highly recommend the podcast "You're Wrong About" they did an episode about the crash, going into even more detail about what happened and some of the aftermath that happens after the film ends. After learning all the details the film feels tame in comparison, could have easily been an 8-12 episode series to really do all the details justice. Like how there was an abandoned hotel 21km from the crash site that would have had food and shelter for them, some even more graphic details about the injuries the boys sustained, and even more character insight into Nando and some of the other people who the film didn't get time to focus on. pod.link/1380008439/episode/4aa42c9085ff923e1be75c92a4fbcfdf
Lo del hotel es un mito, eran las ruinas de un hotel abandonado hacía muchos años , y para llegar hasta él había que cruzar un río muy ancho y profundo de aguas heladas, no tenían como hacerlo, así que caminar hacia Chile fue la desición correcta.
It's so cool seeing that you got interested in the crash and investigated after watching the movie. Many people (particularly anglos) watch the movie, criticise the lack of "believability" (by which they tend to mean lack of one singular protagonist, the avalanche's timing or the fact Numa, a dead guy, tells the story) and move on. Props to you, man, I'm glad the movie inspired you. Greetings from Spain!
I am Uruguayan, I met some of the survivors and I have been reading, watching interviews and films for many years. Everyone in Uruguay knows how everything was, we love them very much and we thank them for coming back, no matter how. If you want to know more, there are many interviews in English with all the survivors, together and separately. ❤
You should see a video of the curiosities and interesting facts about the movie. For example, the actors actually lost between 15 and 20 kg for the movie.
That episode of 'You're wrong about' has a lot of inaccuracies, such as the info about the hotel. In fact, seems like it's based on 'Alive' because, just like that film, portrays Nando Parrado as the group leader and one and only hero, attributing to him actions done by others.
"Carlitos Miguel Paez, my son." The guy reading the names at the end is Carlitos Miguel Paez himself. He played his own father, who was a famous Uruguayan artist.
You are right. In addition, there are several other cameos in the film: real Nando Parrado is the man who opens the door at the airport to his own family, Roberto Canessa plays the doctor (in real life he is an award-winning children's cardiologist) who receives his own character at the hospital, Daniel Fernández appears sitting in the church scene. Also a nephew of Numa Turcatti is the man who walks along the sidewalk when Numa passes by on his bicycle and greets him.
45:49 to answer your question here if they hid the bodies, they didn't, and while the movie shows them all getting rescued at once, that's not what happened in real life, a batch of the survivors got taken by helicopter, and then the other batch was left along with four of the rescuers to stay one last night on the mountain. During this time one of the survivors who were left to stay, Gustavo Zerbino (the guy who collected all the dead's belongings in a suit case) spent 2 hours showing one of the rescuers the bones and bodies and told him who each body belonged to. The rescuer grabbed Gustavo's hand and told him "you don't have to tell me, it's not important" but Gustavo simply replied "no, it's very important"
@@desiraeausbrook1562 ua-cam.com/video/aKToM0lnmxA/v-deo.html I got it from this documentary that features interviews from many of the survivors and interviews from Sergio (the man on the horse who Nando and Roberto spotted), one of the rescuers and Carlitos' father, Carlos, who never gave up searching for his son. The parts i specifically referred to are at: 1:34:12 - 1:34:48 and 1:37:32 - 1:38:38
Not true. They made a promise to not speak about itbut it was obvious they didn’t said anything till they were in better conditions. There’s an interview one of the firsts one they did they avoided the question for obvious reasons the press here in South America was really mean towards them. Also the rescuers were actually scared of them they stayed with them one night. They didn’t talked to them nor get close to them because of their smell. The Chilean guy even said that not even the horses stood their smell.
@@sofie8679 that what I said. In the first few interviews they gave they were asked about the bodies but they didn’t say anything. And ofc the didn’t hide them. Where exactly could they hide them? The rescuers didn’t talked to them the first night they stayed with them.
Something that it's not directly tell in the movie is that Nando hits his head during the collision making him be in coma for several days, his friends thought that he was half dead so they move him to the coldest part of the plane. One brain's mechanism when head suffer blows is hypothermia. His inflamation got down and that saves his life. (My english it's basic so sorry if there are mistakes)
YES! and you can also tell from his face that he had a skull fracture since his eyes are all black underneath. It's called "Raccoon Eyes". No wonder this movie also got nominated for best Makeup and Hairstyling!
Im so tired of hearing the miss information of the "3 days away walk resort" some dumbass youtuber said it and everyone is parroting it like a fact. it was an abandoned resort, there was nothing in argentina, for miles.The resort had closed in 1950+ and even then it only operated in summer. They did in fact trek east in one of the expeditions, they kept sinking in the snow and losing energy. Even in summer, the road to argentian must be made in horse back, there are rivers and steep declines, and civilization is even more remote and far off than the road they took to chile. Some of the survivors, I think its Eduardo Strauch, one of the survivors that goes regularly to the montain every other year, he takes the argentinian route, and it takes a team of men, horses and mules, trekking for days in the middle of nothingess, in the best months of the years "summer" to get to the crash saite. "In less than 3 days walkign they would have found a ski resort and a valley". Please, gimme a break
Agreed. I've seen survival experts and mountaineers familiar with the Andes specifically saying if the boys had gone towards the "resort" they would never have made it, the rivers were too bad at that time of year for them to traverse.
Even if they would have made it to the hotel in 3 days, they didn't know. How could they? That's part of the tragedy. The pilot didn't just make a mistake, and crash them. He furthered the tragedy with still insisting they had suppodedly "passed Curico" in Chile. They were lost. And they climbed a hell of a lot of mountains to get out if there, it's such a heroic story and even more tragic that safety was closer by.. but they didn't know. Safety would have been found either way- each place had a river, and there's always helicopters and rescuers that would make a way for them to cross rivers. It's such a hard story. But a miracle all at the same time. The fact of the trsort hotel doesn't take away from the story but just adds to the tragedy of the situation. They were lost. They've never been in snow before. Many of them are injured. Avalanches at any time. Tragic yet they made it.
This has become one of my all time favorite movies, and i'm always so excited to see a new person upload a reaction to it. When people hear about this story they usually focus on the canibalism, and what I like about this movie is that the canibalism isn't the focus, or made super grusome and dramatic, because it was sadly just something they HAD to resort to. The way this movie focuses on the bond and love between these people and how that is what motivated them to keep going is so nice to see, how they take care of eachother, repsect eachother, help eachother, hold eachother, is just so incredibly human and so touching.
@@morenamontes9504 Nando Parrados and Roberto Canessa’s books I found on Apple Books. Both great. Alive, written by a ghostwriter just a year after the crash, is there too. Society of the Snow, a wonderful book in which all 16 survivors wrote chapters, is there as well. This book inspired the movie and they speak a lot about the dead as well, you can understand why they choose Numa as the protagonist in the film. Carlitos Paez, Coche Inciarte and other survivors wrote books too, I keep looking for them. I found by now only Eduardo Strauch book pdf after searching in Google, amazing, very spiritual and very moving
The avalanche scene has got to be one of the most anxiety-inducing scenes in any movie I’ve seen. And I find the scene afterwords where they are calling out who’s alive and who’s dead. And they announce the dead so fast. These guys were just laughing and having a good 2-3 minutes ago. It’s scary to think how fast they died. Great reaction!
Sad fact: they were two Gustavo in the plane, G Zerbino and G Nicolich. When was announced the list of survivers, the parent of Nicolich believed that their son was one, but when they recibed the survivers they said that was Zerbino who survive.
Just like the Chapecoense plane Crash in 2016. Rescuers said the goalkeeper survived and they assumed it was the number one Goalkeeper, Danilo, so his family was happy only to find out it was the other goalie that made it out, Jakson Follman.
"So I guess there is at least one survivor who's giving that narration there." Us: Oh, you sweet summer child. (I've been obsessed with this story for many, many years, so when our narrator introduced himself I almost started crying right then and there. I love that they chose to tell this story from his perspective, but man, that hurt.)
I love how they had Numa narrate! They are all inextricably and intrinsically and twined forever. I love how he says [something like] "we all died on the mountain; just some of us came back."
Yours is one of the best reactions I have seen so far. You're intelligent, intuitive, switched on and respectful. You picjed up more information than some of us who have lived with this story since childhood. Btw, the actual survivors make several cameo appearances; Nando opens the airport door to his "actors" family at the beginning, the man reading the list of survivors is the actual Carlitos Paez playing his dad, one of the doctors behind Roberto Canessa in the hospital corridor is tje actual Roberto, who himself is an eminent child cardiologist, etc. They advised the director throughout the film project, the film is based on a book written by one of their childhood friends based on their testimony. They said it was the closest visual documentvto their real ecperience. There is a ton of material , docos, books, vonferences and interviews. It is always a inspiring listening to their testimony to this day. Thank you for your sensitive, intelligent and respectful reaction. There are real people behind this movie.
46:42 The one who breaks the story that they had to eat the bodies was Pancho Delgado, Numa's best friend, law student. Then he never spoke about all this again.
The hotel that was 13 miles away was an abandoned building. That hotel closed in the 50’s and a huge river separated them from it. It would’ve been really hard to get there. And one of the reasons they decided not to go to Argentina was because as they were flying, they saw how Argentina slowly changed to a very unpopulated place. They were convinced Chile was behind the mountain, and because the pilot told them they passed Curicó, they had no idea they were still in Argentina.
The further from clear your urine is, the more dehydrated you are. So their urine turning black meant their bodies were close to shutting down from lack of sufficient nutrients and water.
@@tomigrungese ha dicho que no son sinónimos por eso le gente experta usa otra palabra. Para canibolismo necesitas que tengo o contesto ritual o matar. Los sobrevivientes no hicieron ninguno

@@katyespinoza1453he was one of the few that died during the crash after the tail broke. He fell from the plane. Considering how far they were, I don’t think they ever moved those bodies from there.
Fito and Eduardo were double cousins ie their mothers were two of the Urioste sisters who married two of the Strauch brothers. Daniel Fernandez’s mother was a sister of the Strauch brothers and Daniel Shaw who died was the son of another of the Urioste sisters. This means that the two Daniels weren’t cousins to each other.
Yes, they all agreed not to eat Nando's, Javier's, and the Strauch cousins' relatives. However, Javier Methol, long after the tragedy, said to the others 'Please, tell me the truth, I know you had to eat Liliana because I never saw her corpse again... I won't get mad'. To which they replied that they'd moved her because they were afraid that Javier'd lose his mind from hugging her frozen body all the time. At first they all laughed, but then burst into tears as they realised that Javier'd suffered for 35 years because of that misunderstanding.
its worth the time to listen to the interviews of the survivors, it was no picnic but the way they faced life after that... literally, no fear over anything, just doing what they had to do, and taking things as they came, they all became successfull people with happy families. Also dont know if you are aware or most people are aware of this, but the movie is based on a book of the same name, written by a school mate of the survivors, now a journalist, and he took the time to write about all of them, not only the survivors.
its not the same for all of them though. bobby francois went into a massive depression especially after being told by his friend's mom to not see her again after his friend in the mountain. he carries a lot of guilt and so does pancho delgado for taking his friends with him. pancho also said the first time they went back after 20 yrs he felt physically sick and cried himself to sleep. he also hasnt traveled by plane since and possibly has ptsd.
49:37 3 survivors participated in the film (Nando, Carlitos and Canessa). Nando was the one who opened the airport door to the actor who played him and his family. Carlitos played his father. Canessa is the doctor who received the actor who plays him. 14 of the survivors are still alive, Javier (2015) and Coche (2023) are the survivors who have died.
8 of the survivors are in the movie. The other five are TinTin and Moncho who are seen as passengers in the airport, Daniel plays the priest’s assistant, Gustavo is the rugby coach and Coche is seen in the background in the bar.
Some facts about the mouvie: Three of the survivors made cameos in the movie: - Fernando "Nando" Parrado: opens the airport door to his character at the beginning of the movie. - Roberto Canessa: Plays a doctor when they are received at the hospital because he is a doctor in the real life. - Carlos Paez Rodríguez: Represents his own father (Carlos Paez Vilaró) when he reads the list of survivors reading the name of his own son (“Carlitos Miguel Paez, my son”). And they were there for 72 days. On the first day of rescue, they took some of them and a group of rescuers stayed who set up a tent a little away because of the smell. The next day they rescued the others. - The house where Numa arrives is the real Numa's house and the walker is a Numa's nephew. Hugs from Argentina. 🤗
In the book ‘Society of the Snow’, Moncho Sabella tells about how after the avalanche his hands got so frozen while he had to pee on them to thaw them out enough to continue digging. Even that only worked for while and he had to resort to digging with his closed fists and after that with his elbows.
Hace poco vi una entrevista a Fernando Parrado que decía " a Roberto Canessa lo tengo en el pedestal más alto de la humanidad " .. y lo dijo Nando Parrado que le a firmado autógrafos a Paul McCartney y a los Rolling Stones . Saludos desde Montevideo Uruguay la tierra de los héroes y gigantes 🇺🇾.
When the plane crush, the copilot said that they were near Curicó before die, SO the survivers believed that they was more at the West that actually, for that they go to Chile when they were in el Valle de las Lágrimas, Argentina. The name come many years before The crash. The hotel mentioned is in the east.
Hi! Just to clarify: Nando and Roberto went west (Chile) and walked for 10 days. The Hotel was on the other side, to the East (Argentina). Great Reaction!
Hey!! I'm so happy that you are reacting to this film!! The director is from Spain, so i think that's the reason why is nominated from Spain. But the real people were from Uruguay, and the film has actors from Uruguay and Argentina. Hope that helps :) The film also has cameos from the actual survivors.
en los Oscars está como película española porque la productora es de allá, por más que los actores sean uruguayos/argentinos toda la peli fue creada gracias a una productora de España por eso
I love this movie so much, and it all comes down to the special details, respect and honor that brings to ALL people involved. Not just the ones that made it back. As for some additional info: -There are several cameos: Nando Parrado at the airport (opens the door to "himself, sister and mother"); Roberto Canessa at the hospital following his movie counterpart (Canessa later became one of the best children cardiologist in Uruguay); Coche Inciarte, reading the news at the café where Numa, Pancho and Gastón are having a chat; Carlitos Páez, he plays his own dad reading the list on the radio which actually happened; and Joaquín De Freitas Turcatti, Numa's real nephew that plays the neighbour when Numa gets home. - For the first ever screening it was a private one for all the families of the 45 people on board the plane. The original plan was to have "survivors" and "victims" separated into two different sessions. However, Gustavo Zerbino rejected this idea and encouraged the director J.A. Bayona to have everyone come together, and so they did. They didn't know what to expect since some people hadn't talked to each other for 50 years. At the end everyone was so happy with the movie they embraced and they said that it became kinda full circle. Thank you so much for reacting! More people should too!
The pilot had no Idea where they were, the co pilot made a huge calculation mistake because he didnt took into account the heavy front wind when calculating the location based on the plain speed, direction and time of flight... if he had done the right calculations the copilot would have know they were 6min away from clearing the pass, but no, he though they already had cleared the pass and the pilot turned the plain north, straight to the mountains. Also because of that mistake the survivors though they were on the Chilean side of the mountains... they were not, it took them 10 days walking to reach that valley in chile, when a less than 3 day walk in to the east would have taken them to the argentinian side where that hotel and that road was.
Había un hotel pequeño en ruinas abandonado y nada más, eran meses de deshielo, no hubieran tenido ninguna posibilidad de cruzar el río, ni menos encontrar a alguien en esa pampa despoblada de la época. Optaron sin saberlo por dónde sí encontrarían a alguien, con el arriero Sergio Catalán.
The most emotional 🥲 scenes and the one that made me cried the most, was the one when Numa dies.. The history needed to be told so we may comprehend the environment of what they were living… Numa always in our hearts and all those who didn’t survive as well ❤
Hello, greetings from Argentina. There were cameos of the survivors throughout the film. The relatives of Numa Turcatti allowed to film in the cas where he lived, and for what I understand, both the first lord who greets and the taxi driver who takes him to the airport, are Numa's brothers. But, as the film tells, there was anthropophagy, which is not the same as cannibalism. Pope Paul VI gave them papal forgiveness, saying that “worse it would have been to let himself die, since that would be suicide” They survived two avalanches in a row on the same day. They were rescued by Don Sergio Catalán, who, as he says, fought with the local commissioner to create and “did not care if he was imprisoned, while calling the army or whoever.” He made 11 hours on horseback to carry that note, which is the original. Since they lent it to the director and the actor he makes of the commissioner, he said that he on his own initiative, has a protector in his hands, not to affect the letter. The Chilean pilots did not believe that Nando was saying the right place, but when they saw it they were paralyzed, because they were on the side of the Argentine Republic. He recounces if he did in two days, for the inclemency of the mountain weather and his winds. The sad thing is that they were 21 km (13.05 miles) from Argentina and an abandoned hotel, but at that time had caregivers. Although it is believed that they could not have caused the Atuel River, because at the time of the thaw it triples its flow and it was when they arrived in Chile. The film Alive and this, they have no comparison, because the first is based on the imprint of survival, and the other on the feelings and beliefs of the survivors. s.
Bayona chose Numa to be the narrator so the dead could have a voice. He's telling everything from his POV, literally with them, a part of them forever.
I just watched this movie a few days ago and this was one of my all time favorite movies, apart from the impossible. This movie made me feel Survivors guilt and I felt like I was part of the tragedy. When they were leaving the crash site, I felt so saddddd for those who didn’t live to see it, like It was almost bittersweet for them to be rescued. I was so happy but so sad. I couldn’t even begin to imagine people going through this much pain and suffering decisions to live. Not having any resources and still making ways out of the impossible
thank you so much for this reaction, I've been watching a lot of these but I feel like this is first one where the person actually sees the message of the movie. i mean, yes, it was made to show what happened and the tragedy of the accident but i think that what Bayona tried to show the most was the importance of love, this group of men wouldn't have been able to survive without each other's affection, as Pedro Algorta, one of the survivors, said in his book: "Each one intimately needed the other to be able to get off the mountain", even when they fought they knew they wouldn't live longer without hugging or sleeping with their hands crossed in the same pocket. i'm sorry if the message is not good, English is not my first language btw, but ty again!
Sad thing I saw an interview with Roberto and Nando when they were just found and they’re asked “how did you manage to survive what did you eat?” And they just stayed silent he didn’t know what to say. I imagine how hard it was for them.
As Alive was the 1993 american version, which ignored the victims and changed their names because the families didn't agree with the script, Society of Snow, firstly, contacted with the survivors and the families of those who died to introduce Bayona's idea and all of them agreed totally with this version because it's focused on the colective, on their struggle to survive, on the way the took care of each other, especially of those who were injured. Society of snow is much deeper and realistic. You can feel the cold, the hunger, their desperation touches your heart and as Canessa said, this is a realistic but light version of what they actually went through during 72 days. If you want to have more information and a very personal view of each survivor, I highly recommend the book Society of the show by Pablo Vierci. It touches you even deeper than the movie does.
42:09 it would have been faster, but in the way there was huge river they wouldn't have been able to go through, so it would have been a dead end anyway
In reality there were not many disagreements between them. The majority were from a very structured rugby team, accustomed to responding as a team and with great physical strength. Furthermore, they were educated young people who had many resources. Another thing that characterized them is that they had strong religious convictions. Most have had successful careers and many children. The event marked their lives but they knew how to take advantage of the experience and many have given motivational classes
Some of the survivors made cameos in the movie. The father that read the list of souvenir is the real Carlitos. The real Canessa is one of the doctors thatt received the fikm Canessa. And the actual Nandi opened the airport door to him self and his familiy.
If you see when they’re seeing who died after the avalanche Carlitos (the youngest and the one digging in that scene) is holding two of the people who died Gustavo (Coco) Nicolich and Diego storm his best friends :(
don't you mean Roy harley? I read in the SOTS book that Diego and coco were Roy's best friends, and Roy is still friends with coco's then girlfriend and with his sister
Wow, I loved this movie so much that I've already watched it 6 times and on all those times I ended up crying, I can't imagine what the reactions of their families and the survivors would be like T - T The Snow Society movie is really a work of art J.Bayona shined more than ever👏❤️ Thaks for your reaction
Muchas gracias por compartir tu reacción a esta película. Desde pequeños somos conscientes de esta tragedia y nos alegra saber que con este proyecto la historia llega a más y más personas. Esta película tiene mil y un sentido, cada uno le da el valor y el significado que crea importante y resuene consigo mismo. Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾
I have to comment about your commentary during the movie - the things you noticed and mentioned impressed me. You seem very intelligent and I'm the kind of person who loves when people talk aboout their thoughts during reactions so I enjoyed it a lot!
48:45 All 14 people left on the plane when Nando and Canessa left for their 10-day trek survived. The last person to die was Numa Turcatti, the narrator of this film, who died on December 11, when they had been on the mountain for 61 days.
Something thats hard to notice because of the subtitles is that when they are all cuddled in the plane giving speeches they are actually rhyming like a freestyle, it just adds more charm to the scene, coming from a spanish speaker
I recommend, a documentary from 2009, which came with the same name as the current movie, it is here on UA-cam with the name that was released in English, look for it by ... "Stranded! The Andes Plane Crash Survivors".... it is with original audio in Spanish but subtitled in English, for me the best documentary of all that I have seen, and in my personal opinion even better than the two films, it has more richness of details, especially the experience that Many of them lived, buried during the avalanche, and the best thing about this documentary is that many of the survivors are there. Don't stop looking at it, it's very good, greetings from Uruguay !!!
Thank you for reacting to this movie, ive watched it like 5 times by now and all i can say is that the more i know about the real story and the real survivors, the more painful and tangible it gets.
You wrote that it destroyed you. Can you imagine how it resonates to one who is Uruguayan? To say it destroyed me is an understatement in my case. It touched every emotion within me. Thank you for posting this.
Che, pregunta seria, a ustedes no les molestó que muchos de los actores elegidos hayan sido argentinos? Especialmente Nando y Canessa por ejemplo? Hubieran preferido actores uruguayos para todos?
22:47 😂 YES I know I’m not the only one who thought the teeth moving was disturbing I had the same reaction but none of my family thought it was as disturbing/queasy as I did so I thought I was overreacting for this part a bit to much 😭 glad I’m not the only one anymore.
The one thing I know isn't factual: It took them 2 days to rescue the survivors. The helicopters arrived late and it was windy. Those who were in worse shape, were flown away first, while a rescue team spent one evening with the survivors in the fuselage. They could barely stand the stench, but they didn't make a fuss about it. They understood perfectly the survivors needed them there, to stay with them, to feel them, to sleep next to them..... the next day, they were all flown away. Soon after a team retured with a priest, and gave a properly buried the remains of the dead. Then they dosed the wreckage with gasoline and set it ablaze, to prevent it to be vandalised.
Hi Will. As this is the first time You get in touch with the story, I suggest You read some of the many books the survivors have written. I AM Pedro Algorta's cousin and I was an extra in the shooting of the church and the airport. As I have told My cousin, this story...the books, their talks all over the world help, from My point of view, to SEE You your own difficulties, backpacks (maybe to Uruguayan) from a different perspective. Go for it, I AM sure You won't regret it!🇺🇾 ...
This movie deserves an Oscars! This is a cinematic masterpiece, not only because of the aesthetics, art, photography, make-up or script, but because the story is real and truthful as possible.... And may I ask: why no focus on one of THE REAL HERO of the story - SERGIO CATALAN ? The man that found them was Sergio Catalan, a Chilean muleteer. (And this is Sergio Catalan's story). He was moving his animals through the mountain and happened to come across them. He said that at first he thought they were tourists. However, the more he looked at them he realized how poor their condition was. (But) because of the stream he couldn't hear them. So he had to go and get a piece of paper and a pen so the boys could communicate with him. Once he got their message he rode on his horse 10 hours to the closest police station. He said it took him what was left of the day and the whole night to get there and you were right in your reaction. When he arrived they didn't believe him. They thought he was drunk and making it up. However, since he refused to budge and he had the letter they decided to go ahead with the rescue... After they were rescued the survivors developed a really close relationship with him. Some of them said he was like a father to them. When he got sick and needed hip replacement surgery, the boys paid for his medical bills and Roberto helped him get treatment quickly since he was now a doctor. Sergio passed away in 2020 and Gustavo Zerbino attended his funeral in representation of the survivors. He carried his coffin and gave a speech to say goodbye to him. " There should be a PART II of the Society of the Snow, with the story focusing on SERGIO CATALAN... People may disagree with me, but for me, Sergio Catalan is NOW a member of the Society of Snow - and ONE OF THE HEROES... So, I repeat, there should be a Part II...
At the beginning when they arrive ar the airport, theres a man opening a door waiting for Nando, his sister an his mother to come in. The man opening the is Nando Parrado himself kind of encountering his younger self, his mother and sister. I found that very touching and poetic in a way
Thanks for watching this wonderful movie. I knew the story because its another adaptation film (Alive, 1993) but I never watched it. This version was very realistic, maybe by the music, edition, or the cameos of real survivors inside the movie.
about the group thing and potential fights. they said there were some groups, but when the avalanche happened, they became a more united, but still they have like 2 sub-groups: the one that stays in the fuselage and the expeditionaries. also, it were fights and they got into arguments, but they were so tired and without energy that never happened at the end, or just ending forgetting
II'm chilean, and I've known this story from along time ago, the first movie I watched about it was Alive, so for me nando was the main character and the hero, and he is, but nevetheless I love the society of the snow because this movie tells the story from the perspective from someone that didnt make it, numa, whom ccording to the survivers , was very important to the group, his force, determination and spirit was crucial to the survivel of group.
Sadly, it was like movie shows. Fue así como Bayona muestra en la película. No esta escrita ni filmada desde la ficción, esta filmada desde los hechos. El choque y todo lo que fue dentro de esas 24hs después de estrellarse. Y 72 días después el milagro. Es una pelicula/biotopic MUY bien hecha y le rinde homenaje a los que quedaron en la montaña y a los 16 que honraron la vida después de esta tragedia. 🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾 Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾
when i heard about this for the first time it was from MrBallen watching his videos at night, it’s so sad, i cried especially at the end when they were getting all dressed up for the cameras when they knew they were about to be saved, just the feeling knowing that. i couldn’t imagine what they went through, and what they had to do to survive. i thought numa was gonna make it cause i thought he was like one of the main people, but it was sad when he died, it was sad when all the ones that died. seeing the plane crashed was so sad and fucked. seeing the real pictures with them is sad. it’s crazy how this story has been around all this time, and they’re just not making a movie about it. i did watch some of it in the english audit and then changed it back.
From Uruguay: Thanks for watching this in Spanish, with our accent. And thanks for showing respects for our heroes, I loved your honest and emotional reaction :) Have a Beautiful week! PS: They had to gain and lose weight for the movie
26:12 Yes, he was peeing on his hands to warm them up. The reason being that the snow is SO cold it's burning their hands. Which is also the exact reason why they weren't eating the snow for hydration, because it burned their lips/mouths.
I really recommend the behind the scenes feature on Netflix UA-cam channel, something like 40 minutes on the shooting of the movie. The actors all were on a diet to lose weight "in real time" as it was being shot, in sequence. And with so much of it being shot on location on a mountain in Spain, can't have been easy. But it really makes it so much more believable.
Just wanted to say that your reaction was really great. Youre very observant and give intelligent commentary. Ive heard of the story, but i havent seen the movie yet and dont really know of any details. But i could tell just by your reaction what an amazing film it is and what care snd nuance the filmakers put into it
In an interview, Roberto Canessa said one of the reasons Nando walked is that, out of respect, his mother and sister hadn't been eaten yet, and he knew that time was near, so he walked instead.
Esta historia me sigue conmoviendo, desde que me la conto mi padre, leí los libros, he visto VIVEN y escuche las historias en entrevistas de los propios sobrevivientes. Pasa el tiempo y sigo emicionandome. Gran película la que ha hecho Bayona, se asemeja más a lo narrado por ellos. Saludos desde Uruguay amigo 🇺🇾
38:47 They underwent a strict diet (with medical monitoring) to lose weight and appear more realistic. The makeup was not as significant as their acting training and the ability to portray more realistic bodies. No one denies that they deserve an Oscar for their commitment to the film! This is how things are done in Latin America: putting the body on the line to make everything turn out well.
The hotel was not useful because to reach it you have to ford a very wide and turbulent river. Besides, no one had to go there until the thaw was sufficiently advanced, in February.
Later authorities returned with a priest and gave proper burial to dead. The wreckage was dosed with gasoline and burned - to prevent it from falling to vandalism. I also read a father of one the dead boys, went there and retrieved the remains of his son, to rebury him at home. By protocol, authorities charged him for desecrating a grave, but the case was quickly dropped.
That "hotel" was the Sosneado Hot Springs Hotel. It had closed up in 1953 and by the time of the crash had pretty much fallen to ruin. There was no roof, no in tact windows, and no food at all. They would have been far more exposed than they were in the fuselage. As for that road you mentioned, that road lead to Argentina. Argentina would have been hostile to them. The route Nando and Roberto took was into Chile, a far better place for them.
As soon as I started to see your reactions and emotions to each scene you commented on, I didn't hesitate to subscribe to your channel. Thank you very much for bringing us this beautiful story turned into a masterpiece of cinema🙏🙏🙏
Maravillosa película que narra una Realidad vivida por estos chicos, y que fué muy dura...Además, la Película está rodada en Español, con acento Uruguayo, lo que le da aún más realismo....🅱️ravo por J.A. Bayona, un gran Director que tenemos aquí en España.. 👏🇪🇦
Todos dieron por cierto lo último que transmitió el piloto, que habían pasado Curicó, eso significaba que estaban del lado chileno. Ellos caminan hacia Chile, pero están del otro lado de la cordillera, del lado argentino. La búsqueda igual, los buscaban por el lado de Chile!
Thanks for watching everyone! If this is a story that interests you I'd highly recommend the podcast "You're Wrong About" they did an episode about the crash, going into even more detail about what happened and some of the aftermath that happens after the film ends. After learning all the details the film feels tame in comparison, could have easily been an 8-12 episode series to really do all the details justice.
Like how there was an abandoned hotel 21km from the crash site that would have had food and shelter for them, some even more graphic details about the injuries the boys sustained, and even more character insight into Nando and some of the other people who the film didn't get time to focus on.

Lo del hotel es un mito, eran las ruinas de un hotel abandonado hacía muchos años , y para llegar hasta él había que cruzar un río muy ancho y profundo de aguas heladas, no tenían como hacerlo, así que caminar hacia Chile fue la desición correcta.
It's so cool seeing that you got interested in the crash and investigated after watching the movie. Many people (particularly anglos) watch the movie, criticise the lack of "believability" (by which they tend to mean lack of one singular protagonist, the avalanche's timing or the fact Numa, a dead guy, tells the story) and move on. Props to you, man, I'm glad the movie inspired you. Greetings from Spain!
I am Uruguayan, I met some of the survivors and I have been reading, watching interviews and films for many years. Everyone in Uruguay knows how everything was, we love them very much and we thank them for coming back, no matter how. If you want to know more, there are many interviews in English with all the survivors, together and separately. ❤
You should see a video of the curiosities and interesting facts about the movie. For example, the actors actually lost between 15 and 20 kg for the movie.
That episode of 'You're wrong about' has a lot of inaccuracies, such as the info about the hotel. In fact, seems like it's based on 'Alive' because, just like that film, portrays Nando Parrado as the group leader and one and only hero, attributing to him actions done by others.
"Carlitos Miguel Paez, my son." The guy reading the names at the end is Carlitos Miguel Paez himself. He played his own father, who was a famous Uruguayan artist.
Carlitos*
I still keep a lovely little painting Carlos Sr. dedicated to me back in 1979 in Casapueblo (Uruguay) and I'll always treasure it.
Actor plays Carlitos Paez's father but he is Carlitos Paez himself, a real survivor! There are several cameos by the survivors in the film.
You are right. In addition, there are several other cameos in the film: real Nando Parrado is the man who opens the door at the airport to his own family, Roberto Canessa plays the doctor (in real life he is an award-winning children's cardiologist) who receives his own character at the hospital, Daniel Fernández appears sitting in the church scene.
Also a nephew of Numa Turcatti is the man who walks along the sidewalk when Numa passes by on his bicycle and greets him.
@@EloyYTthe real nando opening the door for his movie family just tears my heart apart
45:49 to answer your question here if they hid the bodies, they didn't, and while the movie shows them all getting rescued at once, that's not what happened in real life, a batch of the survivors got taken by helicopter, and then the other batch was left along with four of the rescuers to stay one last night on the mountain. During this time one of the survivors who were left to stay, Gustavo Zerbino (the guy who collected all the dead's belongings in a suit case) spent 2 hours showing one of the rescuers the bones and bodies and told him who each body belonged to. The rescuer grabbed Gustavo's hand and told him "you don't have to tell me, it's not important" but Gustavo simply replied "no, it's very important"
and he was right, it was/is very important. ☹️ I didn’t know this. Thank you for sharing this!
@@desiraeausbrook1562 ua-cam.com/video/aKToM0lnmxA/v-deo.html I got it from this documentary that features interviews from many of the survivors and interviews from Sergio (the man on the horse who Nando and Roberto spotted), one of the rescuers and Carlitos' father, Carlos, who never gave up searching for his son.
The parts i specifically referred to are at:
1:34:12 - 1:34:48 and 1:37:32 - 1:38:38
Not true. They made a promise to not speak about itbut it was obvious they didn’t said anything till they were in better conditions. There’s an interview one of the firsts one they did they avoided the question for obvious reasons the press here in South America was really mean towards them. Also the rescuers were actually scared of them they stayed with them one night. They didn’t talked to them nor get close to them because of their smell. The Chilean guy even said that not even the horses stood their smell.
@@Vantemma yes they didn't admit right away to having had eaten the bodies, but they didn't hide them
@@sofie8679 that what I said. In the first few interviews they gave they were asked about the bodies but they didn’t say anything. And ofc the didn’t hide them. Where exactly could they hide them? The rescuers didn’t talked to them the first night they stayed with them.
Numa was the voice for those who didn’t survive.
🌄 ♥️ 🙌🏻 🕊️
His death devastated me the deepest.
Something that it's not directly tell in the movie is that Nando hits his head during the collision making him be in coma for several days, his friends thought that he was half dead so they move him to the coldest part of the plane. One brain's mechanism when head suffer blows is hypothermia. His inflamation got down and that saves his life. (My english it's basic so sorry if there are mistakes)
YES! and you can also tell from his face that he had a skull fracture since his eyes are all black underneath. It's called "Raccoon Eyes". No wonder this movie also got nominated for best Makeup and Hairstyling!
Crazy how ice cold temperature can kill you and also save your life
Fortunately, they showed us the moment when he hit the roof of the plane (during the crash)
@@dzc2805 and also the racoon eyes when he wakes up!
And he had NO complications or problems related to his injury EVER. That man is a REAL superhero.
"he's the narrator, so we know at least he will survive" 😢
Im so tired of hearing the miss information of the "3 days away walk resort" some dumbass youtuber said it and everyone is parroting it like a fact. it was an abandoned resort, there was nothing in argentina, for miles.The resort had closed in 1950+ and even then it only operated in summer. They did in fact trek east in one of the expeditions, they kept sinking in the snow and losing energy. Even in summer, the road to argentian must be made in horse back, there are rivers and steep declines, and civilization is even more remote and far off than the road they took to chile.
Some of the survivors, I think its Eduardo Strauch, one of the survivors that goes regularly to the montain every other year, he takes the argentinian route, and it takes a team of men, horses and mules, trekking for days in the middle of nothingess, in the best months of the years "summer" to get to the crash saite. "In less than 3 days walkign they would have found a ski resort and a valley". Please, gimme a break
Agreed. I've seen survival experts and mountaineers familiar with the Andes specifically saying if the boys had gone towards the "resort" they would never have made it, the rivers were too bad at that time of year for them to traverse.
Even if they would have made it to the hotel in 3 days, they didn't know. How could they? That's part of the tragedy. The pilot didn't just make a mistake, and crash them. He furthered the tragedy with still insisting they had suppodedly "passed Curico" in Chile. They were lost. And they climbed a hell of a lot of mountains to get out if there, it's such a heroic story and even more tragic that safety was closer by.. but they didn't know. Safety would have been found either way- each place had a river, and there's always helicopters and rescuers that would make a way for them to cross rivers. It's such a hard story. But a miracle all at the same time.
The fact of the trsort hotel doesn't take away from the story but just adds to the tragedy of the situation. They were lost. They've never been in snow before. Many of them are injured. Avalanches at any time. Tragic yet they made it.
This has become one of my all time favorite movies, and i'm always so excited to see a new person upload a reaction to it. When people hear about this story they usually focus on the canibalism, and what I like about this movie is that the canibalism isn't the focus, or made super grusome and dramatic, because it was sadly just something they HAD to resort to. The way this movie focuses on the bond and love between these people and how that is what motivated them to keep going is so nice to see, how they take care of eachother, repsect eachother, help eachother, hold eachother, is just so incredibly human and so touching.
I know I be checking for new reactions but there's hardly any 😢
Same you guys! I already read some of the books of the survivors too. This story just changed me like no other…
@@mns2137 where can I read them?
@@morenamontes9504in Amazon Kinder, but you'll have to pay.
@@morenamontes9504 Nando Parrados and Roberto Canessa’s books I found on Apple Books. Both great. Alive, written by a ghostwriter just a year after the crash, is there too. Society of the Snow, a wonderful book in which all 16 survivors wrote chapters, is there as well. This book inspired the movie and they speak a lot about the dead as well, you can understand why they choose Numa as the protagonist in the film. Carlitos Paez, Coche Inciarte and other survivors wrote books too, I keep looking for them. I found by now only Eduardo Strauch book pdf after searching in Google, amazing, very spiritual and very moving
The avalanche scene has got to be one of the most anxiety-inducing scenes in any movie I’ve seen. And I find the scene afterwords where they are calling out who’s alive and who’s dead. And they announce the dead so fast. These guys were just laughing and having a good 2-3 minutes ago. It’s scary to think how fast they died.
Great reaction!
8 people died in the avalanche😞. Coco was also one who died in the avalanche too😞.
Sad fact: they were two Gustavo in the plane, G Zerbino and G Nicolich. When was announced the list of survivers, the parent of Nicolich believed that their son was one, but when they recibed the survivers they said that was Zerbino who survive.
This is so saddd
Just like the Chapecoense plane Crash in 2016. Rescuers said the goalkeeper survived and they assumed it was the number one Goalkeeper, Danilo, so his family was happy only to find out it was the other goalie that made it out, Jakson Follman.
"So I guess there is at least one survivor who's giving that narration there." Us: Oh, you sweet summer child.
(I've been obsessed with this story for many, many years, so when our narrator introduced himself I almost started crying right then and there. I love that they chose to tell this story from his perspective, but man, that hurt.)
I love how they had Numa narrate! They are all inextricably and intrinsically and twined forever. I love how he says [something like] "we all died on the mountain; just some of us came back."
Yours is one of the best reactions I have seen so far. You're intelligent, intuitive, switched on and respectful. You picjed up more information than some of us who have lived with this story since childhood. Btw, the actual survivors make several cameo appearances; Nando opens the airport door to his "actors" family at the beginning, the man reading the list of survivors is the actual Carlitos Paez playing his dad, one of the doctors behind Roberto Canessa in the hospital corridor is tje actual Roberto, who himself is an eminent child cardiologist, etc. They advised the director throughout the film project, the film is based on a book written by one of their childhood friends based on their testimony. They said it was the closest visual documentvto their real ecperience. There is a ton of material , docos, books, vonferences and interviews. It is always a inspiring listening to their testimony to this day. Thank you for your sensitive, intelligent and respectful reaction. There are real people behind this movie.
The hotel that was closer was a dead end. To get there they needed to cross a river which was impossible and the hotel was abandoned anyways.
they didn't know they were in Argentine too so they wont know anyways.
46:42 The one who breaks the story that they had to eat the bodies was Pancho Delgado, Numa's best friend, law student. Then he never spoke about all this again.
The hotel that was 13 miles away was an abandoned building. That hotel closed in the 50’s and a huge river separated them from it. It would’ve been really hard to get there. And one of the reasons they decided not to go to Argentina was because as they were flying, they saw how Argentina slowly changed to a very unpopulated place. They were convinced Chile was behind the mountain, and because the pilot told them they passed Curicó, they had no idea they were still in Argentina.
The further from clear your urine is, the more dehydrated you are. So their urine turning black meant their bodies were close to shutting down from lack of sufficient nutrients and water.
And it's exactly why using "cannibalism" is only morbid and incorrect. Anthropophagy is the term and it's completely understandable in their context.
Canibalismo significa comer miembros de la misma especie...Así que también esta bien usarla.
@@tomigrungese ha dicho que no son sinónimos por eso le gente experta usa otra palabra. Para canibolismo necesitas que tengo o contesto ritual o matar. Los sobrevivientes no hicieron ninguno
@@blueyeshadow2738 No, canibalismo significa comer carne de una misma especia...Busca la palabra en el diccionario...Antropofagia significa exclusivamente comer carne humana...Un león que mata humanos para comer estaría recurriendo a la antropofagia.
They actually never touched family members, Nandos mom, susy and Liliana were put apart so they don’t eat them
i think one of the 4 strauch cousins, the one who did not survive, wasn´t thouch either.
@@katyespinoza1453he was one of the few that died during the crash after the tail broke. He fell from the plane. Considering how far they were, I don’t think they ever moved those bodies from there.
They also didn’t touch the body of Francisco ‘Panchito’ Abal, the young man who died the first night. He was a cousin of Javier Methol.
Fito and Eduardo were double cousins ie their mothers were two of the Urioste sisters who married two of the Strauch brothers. Daniel Fernandez’s mother was a sister of the Strauch brothers and Daniel Shaw who died was the son of another of the Urioste sisters. This means that the two Daniels weren’t cousins to each other.
Yes, they all agreed not to eat Nando's, Javier's, and the Strauch cousins' relatives. However, Javier Methol, long after the tragedy, said to the others 'Please, tell me the truth, I know you had to eat Liliana because I never saw her corpse again... I won't get mad'. To which they replied that they'd moved her because they were afraid that Javier'd lose his mind from hugging her frozen body all the time.
At first they all laughed, but then burst into tears as they realised that Javier'd suffered for 35 years because of that misunderstanding.
its worth the time to listen to the interviews of the survivors, it was no picnic but the way they faced life after that... literally, no fear over anything, just doing what they had to do, and taking things as they came, they all became successfull people with happy families. Also dont know if you are aware or most people are aware of this, but the movie is based on a book of the same name, written by a school mate of the survivors, now a journalist, and he took the time to write about all of them, not only the survivors.
its not the same for all of them though. bobby francois went into a massive depression especially after being told by his friend's mom to not see her again after his friend in the mountain. he carries a lot of guilt and so does pancho delgado for taking his friends with him. pancho also said the first time they went back after 20 yrs he felt physically sick and cried himself to sleep. he also hasnt traveled by plane since and possibly has ptsd.
The film was made for J.A. Bayona who is a Spanish Director but the actors are Uruguayans and Argentinians so the actual accent is accurate.
The Impossible has very similar vibes. J.A. is a master of real life survivalist stories.
@@BeatlemaccaARHowever, the family of The Inpossible are Spanish.
49:37 3 survivors participated in the film (Nando, Carlitos and Canessa). Nando was the one who opened the airport door to the actor who played him and his family. Carlitos played his father. Canessa is the doctor who received the actor who plays him. 14 of the survivors are still alive, Javier (2015) and Coche (2023) are the survivors who have died.
8 of the survivors are in the movie. The other five are TinTin and Moncho who are seen as passengers in the airport, Daniel plays the priest’s assistant, Gustavo is the rugby coach and Coche is seen in the background in the bar.
numa's nephew is the one on a bike when numa entered his house at the start! :)
@Zozette27 i think gustavos scene was deleted or something
@@huh4206 Yes, it was sadly. There is a photo of him with the rugby team actors
Some facts about the mouvie:
Three of the survivors made cameos in the movie:
- Fernando "Nando" Parrado: opens the airport door to his character at the beginning of the movie.
- Roberto Canessa: Plays a doctor when they are received at the hospital because he is a doctor in the real life.
- Carlos Paez Rodríguez: Represents his own father (Carlos Paez Vilaró) when he reads the list of survivors reading the name of his own son (“Carlitos Miguel Paez, my son”).
And they were there for 72 days. On the first day of rescue, they took some of them and a group of rescuers stayed who set up a tent a little away because of the smell. The next day they rescued the others.
- The house where Numa arrives is the real Numa's house and the walker is a Numa's nephew.
Hugs from Argentina. 🤗
they were all faithful catholic boys, that's why there's so much talk about god
In the book ‘Society of the Snow’, Moncho Sabella tells about how after the avalanche his hands got so frozen while he had to pee on them to thaw them out enough to continue digging. Even that only worked for while and he had to resort to digging with his closed fists and after that with his elbows.
Thank you for acknowledging the movie. We as latinoamericans, hope this movie gets the recognition it deserves. Thank you tons ❤
Hace poco vi una entrevista a Fernando Parrado que decía " a Roberto Canessa lo tengo en el pedestal más alto de la humanidad " .. y lo dijo Nando Parrado que le a firmado autógrafos a Paul McCartney y a los Rolling Stones . Saludos desde Montevideo Uruguay la tierra de los héroes y gigantes 🇺🇾.
When the plane crush, the copilot said that they were near Curicó before die, SO the survivers believed that they was more at the West that actually, for that they go to Chile when they were in el Valle de las Lágrimas, Argentina. The name come many years before The crash. The hotel mentioned is in the east.
Hi! Just to clarify: Nando and Roberto went west (Chile) and walked for 10 days. The Hotel was on the other side, to the East (Argentina). Great Reaction!
Hey!! I'm so happy that you are reacting to this film!!
The director is from Spain, so i think that's the reason why is nominated from Spain. But the real people were from Uruguay, and the film has actors from Uruguay and Argentina. Hope that helps :)
The film also has cameos from the actual survivors.
en los Oscars está como película española porque la productora es de allá, por más que los actores sean uruguayos/argentinos toda la peli fue creada gracias a una productora de España por eso
@@micaelar.s5503se sabe, pero es para aclarar que los hechos ocurridos y los actores no son españoles.
I love this movie so much, and it all comes down to the special details, respect and honor that brings to ALL people involved. Not just the ones that made it back.
As for some additional info:
-There are several cameos: Nando Parrado at the airport (opens the door to "himself, sister and mother"); Roberto Canessa at the hospital following his movie counterpart (Canessa later became one of the best children cardiologist in Uruguay); Coche Inciarte, reading the news at the café where Numa, Pancho and Gastón are having a chat; Carlitos Páez, he plays his own dad reading the list on the radio which actually happened; and Joaquín De Freitas Turcatti, Numa's real nephew that plays the neighbour when Numa gets home.
- For the first ever screening it was a private one for all the families of the 45 people on board the plane. The original plan was to have "survivors" and "victims" separated into two different sessions. However, Gustavo Zerbino rejected this idea and encouraged the director J.A. Bayona to have everyone come together, and so they did. They didn't know what to expect since some people hadn't talked to each other for 50 years. At the end everyone was so happy with the movie they embraced and they said that it became kinda full circle.
Thank you so much for reacting! More people should too!
The pilot had no Idea where they were, the co pilot made a huge calculation mistake because he didnt took into account the heavy front wind when calculating the location based on the plain speed, direction and time of flight... if he had done the right calculations the copilot would have know they were 6min away from clearing the pass, but no, he though they already had cleared the pass and the pilot turned the plain north, straight to the mountains. Also because of that mistake the survivors though they were on the Chilean side of the mountains... they were not, it took them 10 days walking to reach that valley in chile, when a less than 3 day walk in to the east would have taken them to the argentinian side where that hotel and that road was.
Había un hotel pequeño en ruinas abandonado y nada más, eran meses de deshielo, no hubieran tenido ninguna posibilidad de cruzar el río, ni menos encontrar a alguien en esa pampa despoblada de la época. Optaron sin saberlo por dónde sí encontrarían a alguien, con el arriero Sergio Catalán.
@@juanpabloauca Exacto.
hotel was abandoned anyways
The most emotional 🥲 scenes and the one that made me cried the most, was the one when Numa dies.. The history needed to be told so we may comprehend the environment of what they were living… Numa always in our hearts and all those who didn’t survive as well ❤
Hello, greetings from Argentina.
There were cameos of the survivors throughout the film.
The relatives of Numa Turcatti allowed to film in the cas where he lived, and for what I understand, both the first lord who greets and the taxi driver who takes him to the airport, are Numa's brothers.
But, as the film tells, there was anthropophagy, which is not the same as cannibalism. Pope Paul VI gave them papal forgiveness, saying that “worse it would have been to let himself die, since that would be suicide”
They survived two avalanches in a row on the same day.
They were rescued by Don Sergio Catalán, who, as he says, fought with the local commissioner to create and “did not care if he was imprisoned, while calling the army or whoever.” He made 11 hours on horseback to carry that note, which is the original. Since they lent it to the director and the actor he makes of the commissioner, he said that he on his own initiative, has a protector in his hands, not to affect the letter.
The Chilean pilots did not believe that Nando was saying the right place, but when they saw it they were paralyzed, because they were on the side of the Argentine Republic.
He recounces if he did in two days, for the inclemency of the mountain weather and his winds.
The sad thing is that they were 21 km (13.05 miles) from Argentina and an abandoned hotel, but at that time had caregivers. Although it is believed that they could not have caused the Atuel River, because at the time of the thaw it triples its flow and it was when they arrived in Chile.
The film Alive and this, they have no comparison, because the first is based on the imprint of survival, and the other on the feelings and beliefs of the survivors. s.
I'm 55 years old, I cried a little. Amazing movie. God bless the survivors, victims and their families.
This movie is everything!! Cant even believe this is a true story! Just amazing!! Great review👏👏👏
Also the doctor pushing Roberto in a wheelchair is Roberto Canessa himself
Bayona chose Numa to be the narrator so the dead could have a voice. He's telling everything from his POV, literally with them, a part of them forever.
You made me cry again, man.
😬
I just watched this movie a few days ago and this was one of my all time favorite movies, apart from the impossible.
This movie made me feel Survivors guilt and I felt like I was part of the tragedy. When they were leaving the crash site, I felt so saddddd for those who didn’t live to see it, like It was almost bittersweet for them to be rescued. I was so happy but so sad. I couldn’t even begin to imagine people going through this much pain and suffering decisions to live. Not having any resources and still making ways out of the impossible
thank you so much for this reaction, I've been watching a lot of these but I feel like this is first one where the person actually sees the message of the movie. i mean, yes, it was made to show what happened and the tragedy of the accident but i think that what Bayona tried to show the most was the importance of love, this group of men wouldn't have been able to survive without each other's affection, as Pedro Algorta, one of the survivors, said in his book: "Each one intimately needed the other to be able to get off the mountain", even when they fought they knew they wouldn't live longer without hugging or sleeping with their hands crossed in the same pocket. i'm sorry if the message is not good, English is not my first language btw, but ty again!
I loved Pedro’s book.
Sad thing I saw an interview with Roberto and Nando when they were just found and they’re asked “how did you manage to survive what did you eat?” And they just stayed silent he didn’t know what to say. I imagine how hard it was for them.
As Alive was the 1993 american version, which ignored the victims and changed their names because the families didn't agree with the script, Society of Snow, firstly, contacted with the survivors and the families of those who died to introduce Bayona's idea and all of them agreed totally with this version because it's focused on the colective, on their struggle to survive, on the way the took care of each other, especially of those who were injured. Society of snow is much deeper and realistic. You can feel the cold, the hunger, their desperation touches your heart and as Canessa said, this is a realistic but light version of what they actually went through during 72 days. If you want to have more information and a very personal view of each survivor, I highly recommend the book Society of the show by Pablo Vierci. It touches you even deeper than the movie does.
42:09 it would have been faster, but in the way there was huge river they wouldn't have been able to go through, so it would have been a dead end anyway
In reality there were not many disagreements between them. The majority were from a very structured rugby team, accustomed to responding as a team and with great physical strength. Furthermore, they were educated young people who had many resources. Another thing that characterized them is that they had strong religious convictions. Most have had successful careers and many children. The event marked their lives but they knew how to take advantage of the experience and many have given motivational classes
Some of the survivors made cameos in the movie. The father that read the list of souvenir is the real Carlitos. The real Canessa is one of the doctors thatt received the fikm Canessa. And the actual Nandi opened the airport door to him self and his familiy.
List of "survivors "
Yo ame la película la mejor que eh visto en mucho tiempo. Pero sin duda me derrumbó las fotos del final, fui un mar de lágrimas
If you see when they’re seeing who died after the avalanche Carlitos (the youngest and the one digging in that scene) is holding two of the people who died Gustavo (Coco) Nicolich and Diego storm his best friends :(
don't you mean Roy harley? I read in the SOTS book that Diego and coco were Roy's best friends, and Roy is still friends with coco's then girlfriend and with his sister
Wow, I loved this movie so much that I've already watched it 6 times and on all those times I ended up crying, I can't imagine what the reactions of their families and the survivors would be like T - T
The Snow Society movie is really a work of art J.Bayona shined more than ever👏❤️
Thaks for your reaction
Soy cubano🇨🇺y estoy orgulloso de que haya sido en español y lo siento parte de mi historia la incluyo en mis películas favoritas❤
Muchas gracias por compartir tu reacción a esta película. Desde pequeños somos conscientes de esta tragedia y nos alegra saber que con este proyecto la historia llega a más y más personas. Esta película tiene mil y un sentido, cada uno le da el valor y el significado que crea importante y resuene consigo mismo. Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾
I have to comment about your commentary during the movie - the things you noticed and mentioned impressed me. You seem very intelligent and I'm the kind of person who loves when people talk aboout their thoughts during reactions so I enjoyed it a lot!
Hi! They didn’t loose weight by cgi, they actually lost all that weight for the movie. 😮
48:45 All 14 people left on the plane when Nando and Canessa left for their 10-day trek survived.
The last person to die was Numa Turcatti, the narrator of this film, who died on December 11, when they had been on the mountain for 61 days.
Something thats hard to notice because of the subtitles is that when they are all cuddled in the plane giving speeches they are actually rhyming like a freestyle, it just adds more charm to the scene, coming from a spanish speaker
I recommend, a documentary from 2009, which came with the same name as the current movie, it is here on UA-cam with the name that was released in English, look for it by ...
"Stranded! The Andes Plane Crash Survivors".... it is with original audio in Spanish but subtitled in English, for me the best documentary of all that I have seen, and in my personal opinion even better than the two films, it has more richness of details, especially the experience that Many of them lived, buried during the avalanche, and the best thing about this documentary is that many of the survivors are there. Don't stop looking at it, it's very good, greetings from Uruguay !!!
Me alegra saber que esta peli impacta en los jovenes asi...hay esperanza!!! congratulation from Argentina
Thank you for reacting to this movie, ive watched it like 5 times by now and all i can say is that the more i know about the real story and the real survivors, the more painful and tangible it gets.
JAJAJJAA POR QUE LE AGRADECES???😂😂😂😂😂
Gracias uruguayos por enseñarnos a valorar la vida con fe, resiliencia, amor y empatia. ❤🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾🙏
You wrote that it destroyed you. Can you imagine how it resonates to one who is Uruguayan? To say it destroyed me is an understatement in my case. It touched every emotion within me. Thank you for posting this.
Che, pregunta seria, a ustedes no les molestó que muchos de los actores elegidos hayan sido argentinos? Especialmente Nando y Canessa por ejemplo? Hubieran preferido actores uruguayos para todos?
22:47 😂 YES I know I’m not the only one who thought the teeth moving was disturbing I had the same reaction but none of my family thought it was as disturbing/queasy as I did so I thought I was overreacting for this part a bit to much 😭 glad I’m not the only one anymore.
The teeth bit showed that they were suffering from scurvy.
@@Zozette27 yea I thought so too poor guys ☹️
The house where Numa enters with his bike at the beginning is actually the house where Numa lived
The one thing I know isn't factual:
It took them 2 days to rescue the survivors. The helicopters arrived late and it was windy. Those who were in worse shape, were flown away first, while a rescue team spent one evening with the survivors in the fuselage. They could barely stand the stench, but they didn't make a fuss about it. They understood perfectly the survivors needed them there, to stay with them, to feel them, to sleep next to them..... the next day, they were all flown away.
Soon after a team retured with a priest, and gave a properly buried the remains of the dead. Then they dosed the wreckage with gasoline and set it ablaze, to prevent it to be vandalised.
Hi Will. As this is the first time You get in touch with the story, I suggest You read some of the many books the survivors have written. I AM Pedro Algorta's cousin and I was an extra in the shooting of the church and the airport. As I have told My cousin, this story...the books, their talks all over the world help, from My point of view, to SEE You your own difficulties, backpacks (maybe to Uruguayan) from a different perspective. Go for it, I AM sure You won't regret it!🇺🇾
...
This movie deserves an Oscars! This is a cinematic masterpiece, not only because of the aesthetics, art, photography, make-up or script, but because the story is real and truthful as possible....
And may I ask: why no focus on one of THE REAL HERO of the story - SERGIO CATALAN ? The man that found them was Sergio Catalan, a Chilean muleteer. (And this is Sergio Catalan's story). He was moving his animals through the mountain and happened to come across them. He said that at first he thought they were tourists. However, the more he looked at them he realized how poor their condition was. (But) because of the stream he couldn't hear them. So he had to go and get a piece of paper and a pen so the boys could communicate with him. Once he got their message he rode on his horse 10 hours to the closest police station. He said it took him what was left of the day and the whole night to get there and you were right in your reaction. When he arrived they didn't believe him. They thought he was drunk and making it up. However, since he refused to budge and he had the letter they decided to go ahead with the rescue... After they were rescued the survivors developed a really close relationship with him. Some of them said he was like a father to them. When he got sick and needed hip replacement surgery, the boys paid for his medical bills and Roberto helped him get treatment quickly since he was now a doctor. Sergio passed away in 2020 and Gustavo Zerbino attended his funeral in representation of the survivors. He carried his coffin and gave a speech to say goodbye to him. "
There should be a PART II of the Society of the Snow, with the story focusing on SERGIO CATALAN... People may disagree with me, but for me, Sergio Catalan is NOW a member of the Society of Snow - and ONE OF THE HEROES... So, I repeat, there should be a Part II...
At the beginning when they arrive ar the airport, theres a man opening a door waiting for Nando, his sister an his mother to come in. The man opening the is Nando Parrado himself kind of encountering his younger self, his mother and sister. I found that very touching and poetic in a way
Thanks for watching this wonderful movie. I knew the story because its another adaptation film (Alive, 1993) but I never watched it. This version was very realistic, maybe by the music, edition, or the cameos of real survivors inside the movie.
about the group thing and potential fights. they said there were some groups, but when the avalanche happened, they became a more united, but still they have like 2 sub-groups: the one that stays in the fuselage and the expeditionaries.
also, it were fights and they got into arguments, but they were so tired and without energy that never happened at the end, or just ending forgetting
i can’t stop watching this movie!
Haven't stopped thinking about it for days!
II'm chilean, and I've known this story from along time ago, the first movie I watched about it was Alive, so for me nando was the main character and the hero, and he is, but nevetheless I love the society of the snow because this movie tells the story from the perspective from someone that didnt make it, numa, whom ccording to the survivers , was very important to the group, his force, determination and spirit was crucial to the survivel of group.
Sadly, it was like movie shows. Fue así como Bayona muestra en la película. No esta escrita ni filmada desde la ficción, esta filmada desde los hechos. El choque y todo lo que fue dentro de esas 24hs después de estrellarse. Y 72 días después el milagro.
Es una pelicula/biotopic MUY bien hecha y le rinde homenaje a los que quedaron en la montaña y a los 16 que honraron la vida después de esta tragedia.
🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾 Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾
when i heard about this for the first time it was from MrBallen watching his videos at night, it’s so sad, i cried especially at the end when they were getting all dressed up for the cameras when they knew they were about to be saved, just the feeling knowing that. i couldn’t imagine what they went through, and what they had to do to survive. i thought numa was gonna make it cause i thought he was like one of the main people, but it was sad when he died, it was sad when all the ones that died. seeing the plane crashed was so sad and fucked. seeing the real pictures with them is sad. it’s crazy how this story has been around all this time, and they’re just not making a movie about it. i did watch some of it in the english audit and then changed it back.
From Uruguay: Thanks for watching this in Spanish, with our accent. And thanks for showing respects for our heroes, I loved your honest and emotional reaction :)
Have a Beautiful week!
PS: They had to gain and lose weight for the movie
26:12 Yes, he was peeing on his hands to warm them up. The reason being that the snow is SO cold it's burning their hands. Which is also the exact reason why they weren't eating the snow for hydration, because it burned their lips/mouths.
I cried in the same part as you and in the same way haha.
Me too, is like we all felt the same relief after all they suffered
I really recommend the behind the scenes feature on Netflix UA-cam channel, something like 40 minutes on the shooting of the movie. The actors all were on a diet to lose weight "in real time" as it was being shot, in sequence. And with so much of it being shot on location on a mountain in Spain, can't have been easy. But it really makes it so much more believable.
Just wanted to say that your reaction was really great. Youre very observant and give intelligent commentary. Ive heard of the story, but i havent seen the movie yet and dont really know of any details. But i could tell just by your reaction what an amazing film it is and what care snd nuance the filmakers put into it
This is my favourite movie thank you so much for reacting to it
In an interview, Roberto Canessa said one of the reasons Nando walked is that, out of respect, his mother and sister hadn't been eaten yet, and he knew that time was near, so he walked instead.
Esta historia me sigue conmoviendo, desde que me la conto mi padre, leí los libros, he visto VIVEN y escuche las historias en entrevistas de los propios sobrevivientes. Pasa el tiempo y sigo emicionandome. Gran película la que ha hecho Bayona, se asemeja más a lo narrado por ellos. Saludos desde Uruguay amigo 🇺🇾
38:47 They underwent a strict diet (with medical monitoring) to lose weight and appear more realistic. The makeup was not as significant as their acting training and the ability to portray more realistic bodies. No one denies that they deserve an Oscar for their commitment to the film! This is how things are done in Latin America: putting the body on the line to make everything turn out well.
I had the same reaction when they are rescued haha
Oh, is this like Alive? I liked that so I'm excited to see it
The hotel was not useful because to reach it you have to ford a very wide and turbulent river. Besides, no one had to go there until the thaw was sufficiently advanced, in February.
At least I'm not the only one who cry a lot watching this movie
Later authorities returned with a priest and gave proper burial to dead. The wreckage was dosed with gasoline and burned - to prevent it from falling to vandalism.
I also read a father of one the dead boys, went there and retrieved the remains of his son, to rebury him at home. By protocol, authorities charged him for desecrating a grave, but the case was quickly dropped.
i cried at the same time as you, dude... i still ....... that scene broke me :( 45:15
Yeah, same moment for me. I bawled for like a minute straight the first time I watched.
That "hotel" was the Sosneado Hot Springs Hotel. It had closed up in 1953 and by the time of the crash had pretty much fallen to ruin. There was no roof, no in tact windows, and no food at all. They would have been far more exposed than they were in the fuselage. As for that road you mentioned, that road lead to Argentina. Argentina would have been hostile to them. The route Nando and Roberto took was into Chile, a far better place for them.
Dark pee means extreme dehydration.
thank you for the reaction! i love this movie so much❤❤❤
oh those final tears, I feel you 😭
the relief we feel after watching them go through hell and back... man, I cry every time 🥲
As soon as I started to see your reactions and emotions to each scene you commented on, I didn't hesitate to subscribe to your channel.
Thank you very much for bringing us this beautiful story turned into a masterpiece of cinema🙏🙏🙏
What a lovely reaction ❤
Hi from Uruguay! Good reaction!👋
I’m happy that you’re not watching the dubbed version 👏🏾💕
Never, especially for live action stuff, Subs all the way
Maravillosa película que narra una Realidad vivida por estos chicos, y que fué muy dura...Además, la Película está rodada en Español, con acento Uruguayo, lo que le da aún más realismo....🅱️ravo por J.A. Bayona, un gran Director que tenemos aquí en España.. 👏🇪🇦
I literally started to ball my eyes out the second the helicopter came to save them same as you😂😢
Todos dieron por cierto lo último que transmitió el piloto, que habían pasado Curicó, eso significaba que estaban del lado chileno. Ellos caminan hacia Chile, pero están del otro lado de la cordillera, del lado argentino. La búsqueda igual, los buscaban por el lado de Chile!
im sad for numa i though he survive until the end 😢💔
Muy buena reacción ❤
Love your hair 😍😍😍
