Yes, based on real story. The real names of the survivors were kept. Numa was the last person that died before the rescue came. Some of the survivors have done cameos in this movie. Good reaction.

Thanks for watching it in Spanish. This a wonderful and powerful movie

Some details that usually go unnoticed: - They had never seen snow -The highest mountain in Uruguay is 516m. (for real) -They didn't have time to aclimatize to the height an they were suffering from altitude sickness. -They were at over 4000m. At that heights and temperatures you need to eat at least 10.000 Kcal just to survive.. -They didn't have any mountain equipment, only had mocassins and rugby shoes

They used Numa as the narrator to give a voice to the ones Who didn't make It home.

The guy who said "Carlitos Miguel Paez, My son" IS Real Carlitos Miguel Paez. His father read the list. Regards!!!! Nice reaction!

The fact that it's a true story is so heartbreaking! Loved the reaction

I think we all would have done that had we been in their shoes. However, Numa ate as little as possible and that’s exactly what weakened his body. Now, these boys being Christians (most of them) compare that act of antropophagy (different than cannibalism) to the holy communion of Christ, when he compared his body and blood to bread and wine, and invited his apostles to eat from that. Eventually, the Catholic Church came forward and told the survivors they had done what was correct because otherwise they would have given up on life, which is one of the greatest sins. Still, some newspapers were very sensationalist and called them “the cannibals of the Andes”, some even had the headlines “may God forgive them”. There are some pictures of the corpses, only shown in a very obscure documentary that can only be found in Japanese 😅 They were heavily criticized by some people; but that was at the beginning. Once everyone understood just how terrible their situation was, they were understood, embraced, congratulated and posed as heroes for this incredible feat of surviving in one of the most dangerous places on earth.

By the way, there is a short interview by netflix to the sister of the team captain, one of those who died with the avalanch... its beautiful and hearthbreaking, since the accident she didnt read anything about it, nor watched documentaries, not the movie that came out in 1993(not very good movie). And she some times went to reunions with the survivors and some family members of the ones who died, but even in those reunions she never ever spoke about her brother or asked about it. But she went to see the movie with the survivors and families of the ones who died. And she loved it even tho it was hearthbreaking for her but at the same time she said she felt liberated by it.

His teeth being like that is probably a result of scurvy though it usually takes longer for scurvy to develop. Maybe their diet was far more lacking/extreme than others who ended up with scurvy. In his chapter of the book ‘Society of the Snow’ Moncho relates how hands froze while he was trying to dig people out. He peed on his hands to warm them up. That helped for a short time but his hands froze again so he started to dig with his closed fists and when his fists froze he dug with his elbows.

Amazing reaction, thank you for sharing it. A few facts: Nando made quite a recovery because even when his head swelled with the impact, his head was facing the cold metal of the plain and it served as a very cold ice pack to heal the swelling and make him better. The idea he had to want to eat the bodies came out of anger that the pilots' negligence got them to be stuck in the mountain helpless. Let's not forget he lost his mum, sister and 2 best friends. Nando's anger it's what pushed him to want to get out of there no matter what. They were peeing black because of severe dehydration. Fito was the one who thought of making water, glasses to protect their eyes from the reflexion of the sun in the snow and also chose the bodies that would be eaten along with his cousins Daniel and Eduardo. Carlitos the young person who crashed into the suitcases with his car in the airport was a spoiled child who came from a wealthy family. He was very spoiled, he even had a nanny, after this trip his perspective of life absolutely changed. In the plane, he was in charge of making sure there were not drafts in the plain or reduce the possibility of drafts using the suitcases and plane seats, he was very good at it. He also was the one who made the sleeping bag that Nando and Roberto used to sleep in during their walk to Chile. They had so many cigarettes because in Chile cigarettes were scarce and Javier Methol, the man who lost his wife on the avalanche worked in a Tabaco company so thought it was a good business to take a lot of cigarettes and sell them in Chile. Numa did not injured like that in the real events, someone walked on his leg by accident because the lack of space in the plane and because he was not eating his body did not have much strength to recover from the bruise. He was the last one who died and his death pushed Nando and Roberto to say Fuck it lets do this, let's save ourselves because no one else is going to. The actual survivors loved this version more than the 1993 version, because it doesn't idolise the survivors as the heroes, instead recognises and considers those who died and their memory. Reporters keep digging in a very nasty way how they survived, what did they eat, etc. The survivors were very secretive and ashamed about saying they ate human beings and were scared to be judged being Catholics by their families and friends also go jail. They had a press conference were they answer to reporters question ONCE instead that addressing the situation 100000 times to every reporter who asked. The actual survivors made a Kameo in the movie, Daniel, Nando, Roberto and Coche Inciarte were is different scenes. The reason why Zerbino would not leave without the suitcase it's because he hoped that tokens from the death people, like personal belongings such as jewelry, rosaries, ID's, letters written before dying were taking back to give to their families. That actually happened the real survivor refused to leave without the suitcase. In the movie isn't shown but the rescue was in 2 stages. They have to rescue one lot that day and the next lot the day after, so some had to stay another night waiting for the other helicopters to arrive. Those left behind the first day were left with food and a team of rescuers. A survivor said the rescuers were scared of them after seeing all the human remaining all over the place.

Hello and greetings from Argentina. The film is based on the deceased and not on the survivors, of which a lot has already been talked about; As the father of one of the deceased said "those who died were the ones who saved the 16 who survived, there is no complaint or reproach." They did not "ate" women or the sick. Carlitos Paez, represented his father in this film, and the scene had to film nine times because he "broke in crying, by naming some." The jacket he uses is the same as his father that day, and that he kept it at home, like a treasure.

I cried so HARD with this movie...

Some pictures r the real one. If u ever travel to Uruguay, there’s a museum in Montevideo about the tragedy.

I'll be commenting here hoping to help with some questions you had (forgive me if i make some mistakes, eng is not my first language): 1) Black pee is a real medical thing! something related to kidneys-liver failure because of the lack of food and water. 2) Human flesh have this thing called Prions (I think), I'm not sure if they're everywhere in our body or just the brain but it does cause damage eventually. Something like the mad cow disease. And I'll leave some facts that I've collected since the first time I watched this movie bc im still obsessed with the story. -Nando Parrado had a skull fracture (that's why he has this crazy raccoon eyes during the movie), everyone thought he was already dead and left him outside in the cold with the rest of the bodies, surprisingly this helped to reduce the brain swelling and he woke up three days after (like mf jesus christ) and ended up saving them all. -Some of the survivors made cameos in the movie! The real Nando Parrado is the one who opens the door for his actor at the airport, Roberto Canessa (now one of the greatest cardiologists in his country) walks behind his actor at the hospital, and the real Carlitos Paez played his own dad, is the one reading the names.

This story changed my life.

17:35 about the consequences of eating human flesh while being human, yes, there are and the victims of the accident suffered them. Constipation was the consequence of this diet, some found it difficult to move due to hemorrhoids. The survivors say that when one of them managed to defecate, they applauded him.

Roberto Canessa se hizo médico cardiologo infantil, miles de niños en todo el mundo fueron tratados por el, fue ganador tres veces del premio Nacional de Medicina del Uruguay, cuando yo nací en 1979 el está trabajando en el mismo hospital de niños, Nando Parrado se hizo automovilista de carreras y piloto de Fórmula 1, también fue conductor de televisión y trabajo para la National Geographich, fue elegido el mejor confencista del mundo, actualmente viven 16 de los 14 sobrevivientes que ya son todos abuelos , el museo con las fotografías reales y los objetos y pertenencias del viaje están exhibidos en el museo de Los Andes ciudad de Montevideo República Oriental del Uruguay 🇺🇾.

Some stayed 72 days. The real rescued lasted two days. The first day the weather was so bad that one of the helicopters almost crashed on the mountain.

This is by far the best movie of 2023!! What an incredible true story so inspiring and full of hope and definitely the best of the human spirit ❤️ great reaction👏🏻👏🏻

This is such an amazing story. What the survivors endured and their will to live is just incredible. They will always carry the ones that didn't make it with them and I think that's the best way they can honor those that didn't come home. Enjoyed your reaction. New sub. I look forward to more of your content!

Thank you for reacting to Society of the Snow! One of the best movies I’ve ever seen!

Agradezco q lo hayas visto en el idioma original. Muy buena reacción.

Es una historia real. Y algunos de los sobrevivientes hacen pequeñas apariciones, como Carlos Páez, haciendo el papel de su propio padre, leyendo la lista de nombres. Saludos!

Extreme dehydration and starvation can make your pee darker. It's a real thing. Also, eating human is just like eating pork or other meat, but if the person you're eating had a disease, you could catch it too.

Hi! I don’t know if you watched till the very end, but they show the real pictures. 14 of the 16 survivors still alive. When they saw the movie they stayed silent for a moment, because they said they felt back in the mountains. But the liked it.

Nominated for 2 oscars actually, Best foreign film and best make up

It's funny you mention you got the vibes from Lost because Michael Giacchino who wrote the music for Lost wrote the music for this film.

Masterpiece

Such a heartfelt reaction! Thank you for this

Subscribe from Chile. Thank you for watching it in its original language. The truth is that the real story is much more shocking than what is shown. If it were fiction it would be impossible to believe. I recommend you see THE IMPOSSIBLE from the same director of this great movie. It is the true story of a Spanish family in the Thailand Tsunami, it is in English with famous actors, including Tom Holland as a child, it is also an extraordinary film.

This is currently my favourite movie, thank you so much for reacting to it

Beautiful reaction! Hope you saw the real pics at the end of the movie. Bayona recreated the real pictures for the movie almost to perfection. I’ve watched this movie too many times to count it now. This is how I describe it: It breaks your heart, but lifts your spirit. It is about team work, fighting for your life because of your friends and families at home, never give up, resiliency and faith in God.

Alive! has haunted me since I was 15 years old in 1993. This movie will haunt me until I die.

Some facts about the movie: 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”). - The house where Numa arrives is the real Numa's house and the walker is a Numa's nephew. - The suitcase that Gustavo Zerbino didn't want to leave in the Andes was full of belongings of the deceased that he took to their respective families. - The actors underwent a diet under strict medical supervision so that their bodies would more realistically reflect the effects of what the survivors went through. - The survivors and the families of those who passed away say that this movie is much more faithful to the real events, unlike the film 'Alive!' which was more of a spectacle than a tribute. In addition to changing the names of the characters, they altered almost the entire story. - All the survivors (except for 2 who died in 2015 and 2023) are still alive. You can search for their accounts on Instagram. - The location of the accident (Valle de las Lágrimas [Valley of Tears]) can still be visited today, starting from Argentina (as it is a substantially shorter journey): it takes several days on horseback and hiking through the mountains. It requires several days of planning and good physical condition. - 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. Hugs from Argentina. 🤗

A few of the survivors are in the movie. Nando parrado opens the door at the airport to himself and his mother and sister. Roberto Canessa is the doctor behind himself at the hospital. Daniel Fernandez was at the church sitting in the front. Coche was reading a newspaper at the cafeteria and Carlos Paez made of his own father reading the survivors names.

Awesome reaction of my favorite movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

There are now over 150 people living full, good lives spawning from the 16 survivors. Thank goodness they were able to surpass the taboo and trauma of eating the deceased to stay alive and get out of the mountain. Barely, but gosh did they SURVIVE! Forever respect and gratitude to the dead and their loved ones.

Thank you for reacting to this story❤️

The movie gave you Lost vibes because Michael Giacchino composed the music... ^^;

Great review brother, thank you! 👍👍

Me encanto tu reacción ❤

As an Uruguayan who is close to some survivors, thank you for reacting to this movie 🤝🏽

Coco died in the Avalanche all he want was to see mother again. That made me cry!. I thought Coco was going to be one of the Survivors!. 😢. I was thicking after coco died did they eat his died body 1st?. When they were trapped under the snow?. That haunted me to thick about that!. 😢

The guy who tells the survivors names is actually one of the real survivors, who plays his dad in the movie. Carlos Paez. And the doctor with white hair who grabs Canessa’s shoulders at the hospital is the real Canessa! He turned to be the most important cardiologist in our country. 🤝🏽

Abrazos 🫂 desde Uruguay 😊

It’s just meat. Doesn’t do anything to your body. They were asked before in an interview what did human flesh taste like. Their answer was: like survival

black pee id due to dehydration, and yes, it's a real thing

Also, the real Parrado can be seen at the start of the movie, he is the guy who opens the airport doors to his sister and mother, who passed at the accident

Yes, your pee can turn black. Due to super dehydration, no food, organ failure.

Not for the cameras of course! haha they didn´t expect all that attention

you smiled

Please tell me you knew it was all real (And super accurate btw) when you were watching

It's a sad state of affairs when a young man doesn't understand the first thing about dehydration.

The pee become black when you are extremely dehydrated. Thanks for watching in original audio. I loved the reaction

2:45 Rompan Todo (Break It All) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/otqkrK2YmdHMaXk.html

Dejen dejar claro que la Biblia no dice que ''la videncia sea mentira o no funcione'', dice que es pecado y dañino. Aun cabe pensar si la prohibición es por querer saber o querer influir.

You piss black when your body is eating itself. Means you’re pissing blood

i’m eating bodies ion care

P.S. Maybe don't say "munch".

it looks just like the original movie "Alive" just with a new title. But in the original they also interview the suvivers after their homecoming. They were ostracised by the community for having eaten of their friends.

The story is SAD but if u pay real close attention they where a bunch of spoiled brats. They where disrespectful at the church than how they drive into the airport that's Disrespectful. So karma thaught them a lesson, in certain interviews the man who are still alive talk about how grateful & respectful of life they are today also how kind they are towards everyone. If u focus into it this was a lesson learned.

Excelente reacción! ésta película está actuada por actores uruguayos y argentinos, saludos desde Argentina...

Please tell me you knew it was all real (And super accurate btw) when you were watching
