The beauty of life

When I was writing reviews of movies I had seen before, I remembered this set of movies because it gave me a lot of shock.
This is a disaster survival movie based on real people and real things. If the movie's name is Alive, the plot is to describe the process of a group of troubled people surviving, so as to explore human nature and beliefs. I still remember that the first time I watched it was more than ten years ago. I bought the DVD when I bought the disaster blockbuster "After Tomorrow". After watching it, I felt very bad, as if a stone was holding my heart down.
Because the feeling of the whole film is very realistic, the audience's emotions and thoughts seem to be constantly changing with the characters in the play, and they will constantly ask if they were themselves, what choices would they make in the face of such environmental conditions. For more than seventy days of being trapped, they have to face cold, avalanche, hunger, whether to feed on the bodies of the dead, plus the despair of being searched and rescued, every minute and every second of survival is a test for them , Want to defeat them, make them collapse. At the end of the film, most of the survivors chose to stay where they were waiting for rescue, waiting to die. Only the people with the strongest will and the strongest survival instinct choose to leave to find the way and hope, because instead of dying while waiting, it is better to die in the challenge, and in the end they also create miracles for themselves and others.
And why this film made me feel so touched is because I feel that in front of life, all secular moral accusations are disrespectful. And after reading some interviews and memoirs of survivors, they all mentioned that wanting to see their relatives again is their only motivation to live, so they can hold on. I think trying to survive for the living is the most moving

    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.

    "We're going to die, you know?" "Maybe... but if we're going to die, we're going to die on the road"
