Peace and joy for the rest of your life

There are not many viewers, and there are niche films. How can such a movie be watched by no one? Perhaps it does not conform to the temperament and rhythm of a commercial movie. Recently, I'm a little bit obsessed with political themes and real-world adaptations of movies. First, I quit coffee, and recently I have quit movies. This is one of the few survival films that is not artificial, true, has a main line, and is not bad for the senses within 2 hours. I give 4.5 points for the old movies in 1993.

In October 1972, the Uruguay rugby team went to Chile and crashed in the Andes Mountains. The government gave up search and rescue 8 days later, and 16 of the 45 passengers survived 72 days later.

We are so small, unable to resist nature, everyone wants to live decently, but in that case, the rules of human society no longer belong to them. The rules in the mountains are determined by nature. In order to survive, we must adapt to this rule—— Cannibalism. In fact, this reminds me of "Narayama Festival Kao", but there is still a difference in essence, active and passive. I wonder if they will be charged with crimes against humanity even if they come back alive, or will they spend the rest of their lives in sin.

But after thinking about it, I don't think I can criticize or condemn them from the perspective of the Virgin, because I have never had such a superb view. It is impossible to suppose to experience such a situation, such a mood. Perhaps, putting you in such a situation would be even more terrifying against humanity. Therefore, I still don't want to hide in the comfort of 25 degrees to discuss whether they are moral depravity and humanity annihilation.

But for the rest of my life, peace and joy.

    Crash, avalanche, and cannibalism. They persisted for 72 days under the severe weather of minus 30 or 40 degrees at night. They said that they would die on their way back. When they saw the survivors were finally saved, they really burst into tears. Orbital. This is a true story. Although some scenes are not realistic enough, they are enough to grab the audience’s attention. If you haven’t seen it, you must check it out.

    It was a bit shocking to see the scene of cutting human flesh. There is little difference between the story and the memoirs of survivors mentioned on the Internet, and some scenes and historical photos are very restored. In fact, the whole film is quite "tortured", there are not too many twists and turns, only a stronger and stronger desire to survive. The snow mountain is so beautiful.

Alive quotes

  • Nando: [addressing the survivors] Okay, uh, I got something to tell you. Good news - they called off the search.

    Carlitos Páez: [everyone objects and argues] Why the hell is that good news?

    Nando: Because it means we're gonna get out of here on our own.

  • Nando: [the search for the survivors has just been called off] Better go tell the others.

    Antonio Balbi: I can't. It'll kill everybody's hope.

    Nando: [sighs] Well, what's so great about hope?
