"The Remains of the Tribulation"

This film describes the crash in a very simple way! Eat dead bodies! Eating corpses is really impressive. In reality, when people choose between being starved to death and cannibalism, what kind of inner suffering is it? What kind of desperate survival? From the beginning of swallowing, to the numbness at the end, to the attitude of eating snacks and eating the meat of my companions, I was honestly a bit...disgusting, tragic, sad, and painful...

Don't question the character of others, unless you are in that environment, you won't know what you are doing. People may only truly realize how "greedy for life and fear of death" they are when they have to face the choice between life and death. Living is the most essential and primitive need of mankind, to live. In order to live, people are really terribly strong and can bear everything.

What is moving is that in that situation, someone finally stood up to lead everyone, united as one, everyone encouraged and helped each other, between life and death, they all chose to live, and most of them even vowed to die. Let your companions eat it. Humanity still exists in despair, a cigarette, a snowball, and a birthday song are full of kindness and hope.

In the last scene of the film, I was deeply impressed. In the process of Lan and Luo searching for a way through all kinds of difficulties, Lan pointed to a place 50 miles away and told Luo that the front was Argentina. But Luo retreated and said that we would die. Lan turned his head and smiled and responded to him: "If you want to die, you must also be lost on the journey." Only by persisting in faith and bravely taking responsibility can it be possible to survive from desperation.

    Four stars are given to those who died and survived in this real event. When I was in this situation, I don't know if I had such great courage and perseverance~

    Titanic's [disaster] is far inferior to this film

Alive quotes

  • Federico Aranda: Are we supposed to fly that close to the mountains?

  • Narrator: After 20 years, you analyze a lot. You remember people, heroism. "The Miracle of the Andes", that's what they called it. Many people come up to me and say that, had they been there, they surely would have died. But it makes no sense. Because until you're in a situation like that, you... you have no idea how you'd behave. To be affronted by solitude without decadence, or a single material thing to prostitute, it elevates you to a spiritual plane, where I felt the presence of God. Now, there's the God they taught me about at school, and there is the God that's hidden by what surrounds us in this civilization. That's the God that I met on the mountain.
