Society of the Snow: A True Life Story from the Survivors of the 1972 Andes Plane Crash.

in CineTV11 months ago

Okay, so you all know I love non-fiction. True stories just get me going. I love to read it, watch it, listen to it, but I think I've found the one. Not the one that will make me stop(never happening), but the one that made me question my beliefs and life in general.

I just finished watching an incredibly poignant and probably the most life-changing movie titled Society of the Snow based on the harrowing true-life account of the 1972 Uruguayan plane crash. This is, without a doubt, the most heart-wrenching narrative I've ever encountered. I bawled my eyes out, a rarity even for someone like me who's deeply immersed in true-life drama series.

Society of the Snow narrates the gripping tale of 'the Christian boys', a rugby team, and their desperate fight for survival amidst the treacherous mountains between Uruguay and Chile, where their plane tragically crashed.

Against all odds, they persevered through 71 grueling days with barely any food or water to sustain them. The story unfolds in a relentless cascade of challenges – from the merciless cold to the perilous hunger that forced them to resort to the unthinkable: cannibalism. The mountains, the snowstorms, the hunger(when you watch it you'll understand why this cannot be overstated) – each element seemed to conspire against them.

What stood out was Numa's sacrifice. He was initially reluctant to join the trip but eventually relented for the sake of camaraderie. Numa's refusal to partake in cannibalism, driven by his Christian beliefs, ultimately cost him his life. His demise, amidst the turmoil, sparked anger and determination, propelling Nando and Roberto on a grueling 12-day hike through the mountains to the Winter Valley, and after enduring 71 days in the unforgiving mountains only 14 of the original 45 individuals managed to make it out alive.

The sheer resilience displayed in the face of such adversity left me questioning the fragility of life and the depths humans will go to survive. The film not only portrays the physical ordeal but delves into the psychological toll, making me ponder the limits of human survival instincts because the survivors' actions were not born out of fiction but were desperate measures in a real-life scenario.

The impeccable direction and performances, coupled with the hauntingly beautiful enactment, made this not just a movie but an immersive experience, and with 2 nominations, it better win a bloody Oscar. Netflix has once again proven its prowess in delivering impactful narratives.

Honestly, words fail me in this review to even begin to describe how magnificent this story is but be prepared for an introspective journey that will leave you contemplating the strength of the human spirit long after the credits roll.
