Numa's last message, which is actually something that happened and wasn't added for dramatic effect (Like him injuring his leg because he's kicking the windows of the plane) is a passage from the bible. Makes sense, considering he was a huge Christian devotee JOHN 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

Example: there's a scene where Numa is getting to his house (riding his bike), and a neighbor passing by says "goodnight" to him. That character of the neighbor was played by a relative of the real Numa; a nephew, if I got it right. 😭🥲 Bayona (the director) had tons of special details like that.

As young as they were, they were people of faith, they said they felt God there. They never lost their Faith. Their families said they came back changed in an amazing way, talking about God all the time, full of mysticism. There is a beautiful and emotional interaction between Roberto Canessa and a group of teenagers where one of them asked him how his relationship with God has changed since the rescue, to which he responds that it got contaminated by the society of the valley, but that there are times, when one of his patients is fighting for his life, that he prays to the God he met in the mountain, and you can see how emotional he gets in that moment. Roberto is a pediatric cardiologist. Your review is absolutely beautiful, I can feel it is coming from your soul and heart and it shows a little bit of that mysticism that existed in the society the survivors created in the mountain. Happy to see a review that is not focused on the plane crash or the anthropophagy. Not sure if you knew, but some of the survivors have cameos in the movie, the most noticeable is Carlitos Páez Rodriguez, who portrays his own father (Carlos Páez Vilaró) - he is the one that reads the name of the survivors in the movie, just like his father did in 1972. Carlitos was the youngest of all the survivors. There is only one thing I disagree with you. We have a phrase at home that says: “los buenos somos más” or “we the good ones, are more” and I firmly believe this is true. Keep it up, you are doing an amazing job! Congrats!

I am in AWE with your review (in a good way). As an Uruguayan myself and knowing so much about the details of this real tragedy /event sometimes I am very sensitive when people comment about this movie as a "remake" of alive, like this is a made up movie. The recent reviews I have seen sometimes mentions the anthropophagism way way to many times as if that was the sole struggle they had or the only important part of their journey. This movie is actually much more humane than alive because is not only about the 16 that survived bot also about those who were there and didn't make it (29). And it also depict the beauty of the team work when we only have each other to rely upon. Remember these were kids, not men most of them were between 18 to 21 with no experience in survival, or alpinism or living in the wild. These were kids coming from upper middle class who had all the the things you have when you are 'spoiled" to put it in context. And what they did when faced with adversity? They got together as a team, as a family, they help each other until the end. And the people would normally said "What a horrible story".........But you my friend a young fella (19 years old ) realized the beauty of this event the beauty of a group of people come together, with god against the nature against the cold against the terrible situation and love each other and took care of each other.

Great review. I was 5 years old when Flight 571 crashed. I actually read my father's copy of "Alive" when I was 8 (too young? probably) and twice after that. While I enjoyed the book and movie adaption of Alive, it was very matter of fact. To me, it just didn't communicate the emotional and spiritual aspects and the profound beauty of what happened. I could sense it it when I read Alive, but at best it was subtext. To be fair, Alive was written soon after the incident while Society of the Snow came decades later. Perhaps the survivors needed this time to process and express the deeper aspects of their experience. I feel like J.A. Bayona's film really does this story justice.

When I watched it a few days ago I had to take multiple breaks to cry my eyes out because of how moved I was and it really upset me when I saw other movie reviewers overlook the emotional and humane aspect of this story, so it's truly a breath of fresh air to hear your take on the subject. The part where you talked about thinking of who you would give up your life to in this situation hit me specially hard considering it's the same thing that went through my mind as I was watching. Human kindness and love are such fragile and wonderful things, so being reminded of them really makes you look at life from a different perspective ❤.

What's cool about the movie and the story itself is how differently each of the survivors dealt with the situation (but you noticed more of this in the Society of the Snow book). It was written decades afterwards and it was how these survivors interpreted what happened in the mountain. Some remember it as this grandiose occasion, as this achievement almost, some others forgot most of what happened, moved on with their lives, and thought it was simple survival and there was nothing special to what they did. My own interpretation is that it's not so much love for others as the realization that as humans you can't succeed on your own and you need other people to achieve things. I think that's the big "lesson" here. I think as much as we philosophize it to this extent, even strangers or people who weren't direct friends there (Numa didn't know most of the people there,. the Strauch brothers went to the same school but only knew Marcelo, Javier only knew Pancho Abel who died the day after the crash). Half of the survivors weren't really friends during but soon came to the realization that they needed to work together.

The improvement of this movie over the previous adaptation is that, this movie adapts a book of the same name, that was written by a journalist and schoolmate of the survivors, and he took the time to put in the book the story of all the passengers of the plain, unlike the book alive that was pretty dry and technical about the accident and just about it, the Alive movie was also very artificial in the sense that adds a lot of "hollywod drama", yes, they took an amazing real story and twisted it and gave it more action and drama because they though it would be dull, not to mention they disrespected the victims by changing the names of the people involved. But this movie is not about drama or action its about the human reality, the emotion, not the gore.

These boys were never the same after the mountain than they were before. Though the one thing they all had was that sense of family. Of kinship. Most of the Old Christians (the rugby team) had grown up together. They'd been boys together having known each other since childhood. They all became teenagers together. And they all became men together. The ones like Numa and the Methol couple were all sort of the outsiders, but it didn't matter. They were all in the fight for survival TOGETHER. They all after the crash fell into the roles they held within the team. Marcelo for instance, was the captain of the team. After the crash she fell into that leadership position in getting the boys to collect whatever food, medical stuf, the suitcases to brick up the opening to the fuselage. Others fell into positions they were about to take on, such as Roberto being the second year med student. Some of them who were in more in the passive positions stepped up, like Roy Harley who was the tech guy who went up to the tail to try to get the radio to work. Numa certainly was the moral core of the film. According to Nando Parrado, played so to character by the amazing Agustin Pardella, Numa was the one person who was the catalyst to send he and Roberto on their ten day trek to rescue the others. Numa's death served as the last straw for Nando. The fact that both he and Roberto are the defacto heroes of the story and to the other boys is the crux of that selfless devotion to brotherhood. Also that Nando was thinking of his father. Roberto his mother. It was never about them directly, rather the others in their lives who would be left behind asking questions about what happened. The most chilling scene to me is the one where they hear on the transistor radio (I think I remember those) the search had been called off. Nando and Roberto have said, "What do you do when you are alive and the world forgets you?" I've been with this story since reading the book "Alive" back in 1976. I always try to watch any documentaries and interviews with these men. For me it's about their hearts. Their thirst for survival and at the core, their dedication to each other. Can we all hope to have such devotion in our lives. My feeling about this story is it was meant to come along at this time. Same with the story of disparate relationships in "Godzilla Minus One." The story of what or who is a family. These men and women who suffered so much up in that valley, some of who did not return, but the ones who did return we must learn from them and their story if we are to be better people. Yes they ate the bodies of their friends. Who could blame them for wanting to survive. The families of those who did not return didn't blame them. Even the relatives of the pilots said the pilots were at fault. This film is without a doubt a story of true love and the power of that love. Thank you for your heart and for your beautiful review. Take care.

They did not "feast on" the dead. I think that's a hugely disrespectful choice of words. I learned after watching this movie and some behind-the-scenes videos that there's a difference between cannibalism and anthropophagy. The word cannibalism implies they killed people to consume them. That's not what happened. But I didn't know the word anthropophagy until two weeks ago. We can all learn something from this movie.
@xaybeast522

It was the wording used within the film when they were discussing how much they didn’t want to do it, and it stuck with me, so it naturally just sort of came out that way. And cannibalism is pretty universally defined as a species consuming a member of the same species, not as a species killing a member of the same species and then consuming them. I apologize if it came off that way but I was also raised hearing about this story because my parents were always well-versed in it and certain words and phrases were just engrained in my subconscious at a young age as a result.
