This happened 50 years ago, and Nando, Roberto, and Carlos are all still alive today!! If this story doesn't make you fall in love with the human spirit, nothing will.
So many comments bashing how this movie didn't tell the "real" story. It's a MOVIE, not a documentary. Oh, it's the "Hollywood version"?? Maybe that's because it was made by Hollywood??
I dont think this is the best movie ever, for many reasons, but I do appreciate that they included "I'll cut some meat off the pilot, they got us into this mess," which was a verbatim quote that Nando said.
The real people that survived this, wished they had the sweaters and "winter" clothing these people had. Most of them had never even seen snow let alone cold af wind
Exactly there are no mountains or snow capped peaks in Uruguay, where everything is mostly flatland or smooth hills, Urus do travel to Argentina or Chile to expericnce that kind of scenery
🤔 What are you talking about? The pictures of the real survivors showed they had on sweaters, suits, jackets. Basically, layers of clothes from the dead just as seen in this movie except for Parrado who had a small coat jacket after his sister died.
📖 In chapter 2 of Paul Piers Read's book "ALIVE!", Susana Parrado "wore a beautiful fur-lined coat made from antelope skin which she had bought only the day before." After she died, Nando wore her coat.
For many years, the event called 'the miracle/tragedy of the Andes' was mostly known in the world because of this film, a completely distorted version of the real story. And even worse, most of the videos in English on the incident are based on this movie. In 'Alive', a lot of the facts were changed (not minor details) and others were made up just to give Ethan Hawke's character the role of the 'superhero', while the other characters are practically passive spectators who depend entirely on Nando's initiative. In reality, what took those young men out of the mountains was the extraordinary teamwork, the resourcefulness and the heroic actions of the whole group, including many of those who died in the snow. The main leaders and strategists were the Strauch cousins, but as the survivors say, each one of them was a leader depending on the moment and the skills needed during the 72 days they were stranded in the Andes. The survivors have always expressed their dissatisfaction with this film, they find it superficial, and call it 'the Disney version'.
The reason Ethan Hawke's character is made out to be the hero is because his real life counterpart was the technical advisor for the film, so of course he made himself out to be the main guy (not to take away from his real life bravery and heroism though)
@@18haylo No, it goes deeper than that. Nando Parrado was portrayed as the big hero already on the book Alive, which the survivors didn't like that much either. This comes from U.S. culture, the necessity to portray an individual savior (either Parrado, or God, which Alive mentions until boredom, when in interviews you see Nando questioning if all this was a miracle, after all his sister and mother died there) over community teamwork, as was in reality. That's why luckily now we have Society of the Snow.
Unfortunately, it’s a movie, not a documentary. This goes for most “based on true events” movies made in Hollywood. Now they’ve even gone a step further with “inspired by actual events” which basically applies to every fictional movie ever made.
Maybe so, but this wasn't a documentary. It was a movie. At the end of the day a movie is a product made for profit. It's called the "movie business," not the "100% factual information business."
The three of them are depicted as the only heroes in this film, but the survivors have always said that 'Alive' doesn't portray the real story. In fact, they dislike it because in it, too many unnecessary liberties were taken, like adding scenes that actually never happened, such as Canessa returning in the rescue helicopter; and omitting major details and characters, such as the Strauch cousins (the group leaders after the avalanche). In real life, it was teamwork at its best what took them out of the mountains, this is why, the 16 survivors and many of those who died in the Andes (Gustavo Nicolich, Numa Turcatti, Liliana Methol, etc) are all considered heroes.
Pense que nunca iba a ver una película mas buena que "viven" pero llegó "La sociedad de la nieve" y la verdad es sumamente conmovedora. Les dieron a todos la importancia que merecían. "viven" aun me gusta pero qué bueno que siempre se pueden hacer cosas mejores
@@whatupjxy first of all, on paper it’s not, but it’s another film adaption of a true story. the 2nd time it’s been done. it’s not that hard to understand what i mean. andrew garfield’s and tom hollands story is a retelling of a spiderman story, but told differently. so it’s a fucking remake
Even under “ordinary” circumstances I have panic attacks have an severe anxiety nervous breakdown stopped breathing and died on the spot in these circumstances :
This is not as good as the original movie called Survive 1970s, this is too Hollywood like, the original was a South American theme and soundtrack as well.
@@CelesteBou similar though, it didn’t happen in Mexico, it happened in South America, so they stuck to being original even though it was Mexican actors.
The actual survivors of the plane crash said they hated the Mexican movie in Uruguayan and Argentinian media interviews. What the hell are you talking about?

Ethan and Josh Hamilton (plus Vincent Spano) were big reasons why I like this movie.

Nanda (and Roberto) WERE the hero’s of the story. Period.

I love this movie,it gives hope...
Especially since Nando and Roberto are still alive and it's almost 51 years later!!
Bro he was young af when he did this movie known wonder why he did TRAINING DAY with DENZEL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ethan is the Hawke
thanks for uploading this man, this is a very underrated film and there aren't a lot of clips of it on youtube, so thanks!
Ahh you’re welcome :))
Another thing I know this movie word for word
i find it funny that everyone grew a beard except for Ethan Hawke
He was able to grow at mustache and goatie.
It's kind of funny in the new movie it's Roberto that doesn't grow a beard while the real Roberto had one by the end.
And yet…that has zero affect on his performance.
One of my favorite movies ❤
Yo estaba enamorada de varios de los actores de esta pelicula😂😂😂
Yo Tambien!
Not one follicle of extra facial hair throughout this entire ordeal.
i read that ethan hawke refused to grow a beard and kept his goatee throught the entire film, i guess it was because it was his "trademark" or smth?
Adrenchrome?
you look up for images from that time, Nando Parrado did indeed grow a full beard, it was Ethan Hawke who refused to change his looks for the film
The actors probably don't remember when their feet were small enough to fit in those little red sneakers!
Nando, Roberto and Carlos…. You all three are the reasons why people believe in God❤❤❤
why didn't God stop the plane crashing in the first place?
@@richardhunter132what about the ones who died, does that mean they deserve that?
@@MiceAl487 what do you think?

7:16 Numa Turcatti's death (the main character of the Netflix remake, he fucking dies on day 60)
it’s so sad, just saw the remake recently
@@IHandOutLs4Youme too. It was sad and gives a real-depiction on what happened. RIP to those who died
@@IHandOutLs4You Society of the Snow is not a remake lmao 😂

Loved those sleep overs
Interesting
I lobed this movie, incredible true story...
Dialogue are full of cit, not good.
Thanks anyway
Temperence south France
Una visión muy Hollywood, hacía falta una versión más realista.
Back to daffys pizza first 😂
This movie was given 4 stars!!
...By the NY Times food critic.
Ethan Hawk siempre es tan mal actor o solo en ests pelicula de mierda!?
This is not as good as the original movie called Survive 1970s, this is too Hollywood like, the original was a South American theme and soundtrack as well.
yeah, even the spanish version "The Society of the Snow" (2023) was better
The 1970s movie was not South American. It was made by Mexicans
@@CelesteBou similar though, it didn’t happen in Mexico, it happened in South America, so they stuck to being original even though it was Mexican actors.
The actual survivors of the plane crash said they hated the Mexican movie in Uruguayan and Argentinian media interviews. What the hell are you talking about?
@@gfoot9916 what are you talking about stupid, I preferred the original to the crappie American alternative, so fake and pathetic.
