Sergio Catalán, the Chilean muleteer who found Nando and Roberto, became a beloved person to the survivors. The survivors tell that they called him "father", they went to visit him in Chile, they took him to Uruguay, they helped him and his family financially, in his hip operation. Until Sergio passed away in 2020.
Man, don't make me cry again...
El arriero no encontró a Parrado y a Canessa ya que nadie los buscaba. Parrado y Canessa encontraron al arriero, ellos buscaban a alguien
Nando y Roberto siempre cuentan que Catalán anduvo más de 10 hs a caballo hasta el destacamento de policías más cercano para poder ayudarlos. Cuando llegó llamaron a Santiago y en Santiago contestaron "eso es imposible, ese hombre seguro está borracho. Metalon preso" pero Catalan llevaba la carta de Nando como prueba real y así le terminaron de creer.

It is the most impressive extreme survival story in the history of humanity, a masterpiece the film, especially because of the influence that the survivors had when writing the script.
It's more than that. It's 20th centuries greatest survival story. 50 plus years on nothing has come close
😊😊😊😊😊
Well, it’s between this and the only survivor of a plane crash in the amazons surviving on her own with broken ribs until she met with locals by following the river.
Well as a matter of fact the survivors said they wanted to be consulted in everything BUT the screenplay, they didn't want to interfere with bayona's vision for the story knowing that they are not screen writers. In everything else they were consulted thoroughly, but they were clear they didn't want to see the script until the movie was done.
Los supervivientes del Holocausto también es una historia de supervivencia igual o superior a esta
The note that Numa wrote before passing away was 100% true; and it was a verse you can find in the Bible
Juan 15:13
Due to Nando and Roberto getting out, around 150 offspring now live because of their determination to survive. They have met up every year since on the anniversary of their rescue. 14 are still with us.
No . Gracias a los muertos que proveyeron de alimento a todos los sobrevivientes es que están vivos Ningun héroe Fue un trabajo de equipo Nadie es más que otro todos fueron necesarios y parte del resultado final Ellos así lo cuentan (excepto Parrado que hizo su fortuna contando la historia poniéndose a si mismo como el único héroe)
@@pazforeversorry pero NO, Sin la incansable lucha de Nando y Roberto, todos morirían ya se les estaba acabando todo cuando los rescataron y No los iban a sacar, ya que la búsqueda se estaba haciendo en Curicó, lo más probable en Mediados de Enero o Febrero que cuando está más descongelado y ni cerca de donde estaban, 10 días por la cordillera, sin equipos, ni siquiera una mísera brújula, No hay que haber subido ahí para saber que son unos héroes
Eso es mentira, Parrado de hecho es de los que dice que, aunque lo que hicieron fue una maravilla, los heroes fueron los muertos, y todos en general, asi que no hay tal cosa como Parrado haciéndese el héroe, no te confundas.@@pazforever
Todos trabajaron en equipo. A los expedicionarios los demás le daban las mejores ropas, más comida. Todos tuvieron que colaborar, los strauch cortando la comida, otros haciendo agua. En palabras de Nando: " tpdps eramos importantes, nadie era mas que nadie. Sobrevivimos nosotros 16, pero podrían haber sido otros. Tampoco se le estaba acabando la comida, Habian varios cuerpos sin utilizar aún, aunque habian algunos que si el rescate se demorara más, seguramente morirían.
@@pazforeverNando nunca se puso como un héroe, lo puso Hollywood. Se nota que no lo conoces ni tampoco has seguido ninguna entrevista. Lamentable tu comentario 🙄
That moment of realization...that this is not only based on a true story but it IS true, as close as possible to it....sweet and scary and terrible and hopeful......SO MANY EMOTIONS at the same time.
💯👍
La ropa que uso Matías Recalt es la misma que uso Roberto Canessa en la montaña El la conservó y se la prestó para la película
Extremely close to the truth actually as what happened has been written from the survivors. I just thought it was common knowledge about this survival story.
Roberto Canessa is a children's cardiologist, the story of his girlfriend waiting for him is also beautiful. The man reading the list of survivors is a real survivor, Carlitos Páez. Many have written books and toured about personal motivation, teamwork, resilience, meaning of life. They are still married to the girlfriends who waited for them, a detail that I think is nice😍
Vasco's father (the boy who died, having hallucinations screaming for his father), returned to the cordillera to take his son's remains even though repatriating a body was illegal. He had problems with the law, but managed to bury his son in Uruguay. Coco's mother expressed in an interview that she was relieved with herself that each of the survivors had a piece of her son (Coco's parents and his girlfriend traveled to Chile thinking he was alive because of a mistake with the list). Marcelo's mother did not have the courage to see her son's childhood friend (one of the survivors) again, because he survived but her son did not. Carlitos's father was adamant in the hope that his son would return alive (Marcelo played his own father in the film). Nando's father started dating a new woman in the time frame of the incident, they say he even got rid of Nando's things (thinking he was dead). Nando says that his father was what motivated me to come back. The actors have a good relationship with the survivors and with the family of those who died.
Carlistos played his own father
Where are people even getting the "Nando's father started dating a new woman in the time frame of the incident." Some even said he remarried in other reactions.
Seler Parrado wasn't dating and didn't remarry. I've read all of the books, including Nando's personal account, and the documentaries, and none of them mention a new gf or wife. The woman that runs into the Chilean hospital in the movie with Nando's father is suppose to be Nando's eldest sister. The only bit of truth in these statements about Seler is he did sell Nando's things (as well as Eugenia and Susana's) because he was a rational and pragmatic person. He could not believe they would be alive in the Andes after a plane crash (and in all rights Seler should have been correct since the boys surviving the crash was a miracle in and of itself) and was not going to torture himself with what he believed to be the false hope some others in their Montevideo community held. And it pained Seler to see their things, reminded at every turn, while he walked alone through an empty house.
Seler wasn't dating nor did he remarry. His ashes were buried beside Susy and Eugenia in the Valley of Tears.
So no, I have no idea where anyone is getting the remarried thing other than they saw it in the comments on TH-cam. If someone has proof and a legitimate source besides "TH-cam comments" I'd love to hear it.
@@xel1673.
@@xel1673- Nando recounts it in his chapter in ‘Society of the Snow’ by Pablo Vierci. His exact words are ‘“I returned to Montevideo to find that my father, needing peace and consolation, had sought comfort in another woman, and I went to live in a rented apartment. I spent the following Christmas, twelve months later, alone, sitting in my car on Blanes Viales Street in Carrasco, waiting for it to be midday because I had nowhere to spend the holiday, and I was waiting to go to Roberto Canessa’s house after they finished opening presents.”

i have been looking up reactions to this movie everyday because it’s such a good movie and people don’t really watch it bc its not in english and its so sad!! this movie is such a beautiful piece of art and most importantly, it’s respectful to the survivors and deceased. so happy to have found your channel and hope to see more in the future!! :))
Es que eran uruguayos y hablaban español no ingles
yo creo que esta pelicula la van a doblar al ingles en algun momento
To cada día encuentro una nueva reacción en inglés.
Movie can be watched in English
Hello, how are you? As a Uruguayan, I'd like to contribute a bit to the history and the movie.
-The actors are Argentine and Uruguayan, and we share practically the same Spanish accent. However, they trained to speak as the survivors did at that age to add even more realism.
-Everything was recreated as it was in the 70s in Uruguay, including taxis, the airport, bars, churches, everything.
-Part of the survivors appears in the movie. Fernando Parrado opens the door at the airport for the actor playing him, and the actresses playing his mom and sister. Carlos Paez plays his own father, reading the names of the survivors near the end. Roberto Canessa is the doctor accompanying the actor representing him when they arrive at the hospital.
-Roberto Canesa became one of the best pediatric cardiologists in the country, a job he continues to this day with a foundation that helps children with congenital heart problems. One of the children he saved is the son of a friend of mine
-In Uruguay, we don't have mountains or snow, and they didn't have the necessary clothing for the cold since the city they were going to in Chile didn't require it.
Greetings from Uruguay!
Geniales datos! Abrazo desde Argentina!
@@yosoyasiporquesi de nada! Abrazo para vos también!
@@katmatian en unos meses estaré en Uruguay y escuché que tienen un museo sobre esto, sin duda quiero visitarlo
@@__JH_ serás bienvenido entonces! No te vayas sin probar lo que llamamos "chivito" o el asado, no te vas a arrepentir!
Los actores están geniales, pero no se olviden del director. Bayona y su equipo han rodado una obra maestra, comparad esta película con "¡Viven!", la versión estadounidense de 1992. Pusieron mucho dinero, un director comercial como Frank Marshall, Kathleen Kennedy de productora que era la mano derecha de Spielberg en aquel momento, un reparto con varias estrellas...pero ni se acerca a lo que ha hecho Bayona con una historia que parecía ya imposible de volver a contar sin caer en lo redundante. Para mí el mejor cineasta español del momento, muy por delante de Pedro Almodovar y Alejandro Amenabar.
En definitiva, "La sociedad de la nieve" es una joya que reúne a lo mejor de la hispanidad a ambos lados del océano. Y demuestra que el cine en español está a la altura de cualquier producto anglosajón.
44:13 That man is actually the real Carlos Paéz. He plays the part of his own dad (which makes this even more emotional. Carlos just wanted to get back to see his dad, and his dad never stopped thinking his son was alive. And he was right). A really great man.
All of their stories are devastatingly sad but Nando's gets me the most... He lost his mom and his sister but he stayed strong for his dad, he trained every day, he went on that crazy journey with roberto, he even told his friends they could eat his mom and sister to survive (they didn't do it), he did all of this to survive... But when he got home he realized he was alone, his dad had found another woman and had moved on, he gave most of Nando's stuff to his cousin, he sold Nando's bike, basically everything that belonged to him was gone. He started living alone cause his dad had a new family, he couldn't keep studying, he had to work, to learn how to live alone... He said that during the holidays was the hardest. On his second christmas (a year after the accident) he was so alone that he had to wait until after midnight to go to Roberto's house :(
Fortunately now he has a beautiful family, but it's just crazy to me that he still had to go through all this after spending 2 months in hell!
Wow. This truly breaks my heart to hear. So happy to know he was able to make his own family, I just know that home is filled with so much love. Thank you for sharing this with me!
it's so sad but also sweet to know that Nando and Roberto spent christmas together, the survivors really became brothers
la amistad que forjó con Roberto probablemente le salvó la vida después de volver. La familia Canessa lo cuidó como a otro hijo
Dicho así suena algo insensible, aunque es cierto lo que dices, el padre de Nando visitó la tumba de su mujer y su hija casi cada año en la montaña. Expresó su deseo de que sus cenizas fueran llevadas con su mujer y su hija, la hermana de Nando le pidió, creo que a Gustavo Zervino, que las llevara a la montaña con ellas. El monte que Nando, Roberto y Tintín escalaron durante tres días se llama monte Seler en su honor.
@@rebecaf.a.4044 No se trata del padre, que sin duda habrá sufrido mucho, se trata del trauma que tuvo que seguir sufriendo Parrado incluso al volver.
I am Uruguayan and this story is very well known in our country. I am very happy that a new adaptation has been made, after Alive! (1993) and that it has become so famous.
It is a tremendous story and those who did not manage to survive deserved to be heard.
People die when we forget them.
Same thing in Chile ! I grew up knowing about this, it’s just part of everyone’s life growing up. Glad they made this film for everyone to understand the magnitude of this. The Andes are HUGE. I don’t think people realise how big it is, it is not just a mountain
I am from Austria and even my father told me this story! Many years ago I saw Alive, but now that I have seen Society of the Snow, I am able to understand much better what this story is really about❤
Same thing in Argentina! Un abrazo enorme hermano uruguayo!!
You say new adaptation but for me the film was pretty much the same as alive. Really just had an extended finish with their families & we learned of the full names of the dead orher than that it was all the same
@@garyclarke9685 you did not pay much attention then
People who judge them or say “I wouldn’t do it” it’s so disrespectful for me cause peoples mind could even imagine a quarter of what they felt or went thought. The true survivors said in a interview “I’m SO sure you would’ve done the same”
There was zero judgement on my end. Please do not take my opinion disrespectfully. Me stating I would not be able to consume another human is not meant to be taken as disrespect to the survivors. I can only imagine how difficult it was for them to even make that decision.
Some of them stayed 72 days because the rescue took two days. If u ever go to Uruguay, they have a museum u can visit
Your right that's why I didn't like the scene when they all boarded the helicopters because that was not true
@@garyclarke9685 i think that was done because otherwise the movie would be too long… because they would have to show that the rescue team stayed one night with them, and Lucero, one of the rescue guys practically threatened them showing them, he had a gun…
I am Mexican, and to this day this story has been very resonated throughout Latin America over the years.
In fact, before watching this movie, I watched a two-hour podcast where they interviewed Carlitos, one of the survivors, and I can only tell you that the film is truly totally adapted to perfectly
If you don’t mind me asking, which podcast was it? I would love to check it out😊
@@NixairisReactions The podcast it's called "The Wild Project". I don't know if the full interview has english subtitles but some clips do, you will find them in the same channel of the podcast here on TH-cam.
In fact in this movie there are 4 or 5 real survivors making brief cameos, and the most notorious cameo is the one of Carlitos Paez, the man who reads the list of survivors, he is a real survivor, in that scene he plays his father, who had to read that list by radio at that time, and when in the movie he says: Carlitos Paez my son, he is reading himself in the list, @@NixairisReactions
@@NixairisReactions Theres a ton of Interviews of the sruvivors talking in english too! :)
@@NixairisReactionsI reccomend you "My plane crashed and I survived 72 days in The Andes" video. There's Carlitos Páez telling about his expirience.
Roberto Canessa nowadays is one of the best children heart surgeon South America. He saved the life of hundred of kids.
Girl you're strong 😅 I was crying and its not my first time watching this movie
From Guatemala, I have never seen snow in my life and I can't even imagine how cold it must have been. Suffering from the lack of water, the luck that the snow will preserve the bodies, the coincidence that a man found them in a river in the middle of nowhere, and the fact that the thaw season was close, is a true miracle.
You must experience snow in your life! I grew up in a place with four seasons, with harsh winters, but it's so beautiful after a storm. After a couple months, or years, or decades...winter is long. What I wouldn't give to be somewhere tropical this weekend! This is the warmest winter in my living memory, and I will be 50 tomorrow!
@@jaelynn7575 Happy birthday!
@@jaelynn7575happy birthday!!
Happy Birthday
En Uruguay tampoco hay nieve
3 of the survivors made a cameo in this movie: at the beginning at the airport a man holds the door for Nando’s mother, that was the real Nando Parrado; the man who calls the names of the survivors on the phone and plays Carlitos Paez’ dad is the real Carlitos Paez; and at the end at the hospital one of the doctors who puts his hands on Roberto’s shoulders is the real Roberto Canessa who became a pediatric cardiologist.
There was an American version of this story made in the 90’s called “Alive” with Ethan Hawke but according to the survivors this film was really really close to what actually happened.
Several of the survivors made a cameo. Zervino, Coche, Daniel Fernández, and others.
Gustavo Zerbino, Tintín, the late Coche Inciarte, Daniel Fernández Strauch, Moncho Sabella and a nephew of Numa are also listed on the cast. They all made cameos. Oh, an Pablo Vierci, the author of the book and co-producer too.
In fact, they don't like Alive.
girl i cried with you even tho i already watched this movie 4 times and i also watched some reactions and interviews, i cry every single time istg, the history is just amazing, the survivors did everything to get out of there and see their families again, it breaks my heart bc everyone wanted to come back home but just 16 of them did. there are so many details that the they didn't add because the movie was already too long, it's incredible how complex this history can be!
Roberto Canessa se convirtio en Medico cardiólogo especialista en cardiopatía infantil y trasplante, a salvado la vida de miles de niños en todo el mundo y a ganado tres veces el Premio Nacional de Medicina del Uruguay, por su parte Fernando Parrado se convirtió en Piloto de Fórmula1 Motociclista profesional y corredor, también trabajo para la National Geographich y fue elegido el mejor conferencista del mundo. Ambos viven en Uruguay junto a sus familias y son abuelos felices . Saludos desde Montevideo Uruguay 🇺🇾
Ejemplos absolutos de vida. Aguante el Doc Canessa, lo amamos ❤😊
¿fórmula 1...en que equipo corrió...año?
Te corrijo, no aporta nada, pero Fernando Parrado no corrió en formula 1, corrió en autos pero creo que en Rally. El único medio Uruguayo que corrio en F 1, que en realidad es nacido en Alemania, es Adrián Sutil.
Parrafo se convierto en un conferencista millonario contando la historia a su modo sin acordarse del resto y poniéndose él, la capa de Superman Todos estuvieron enojados hasta ahora Lo que sufrieron las familias durante más de 50 años donde nadie hablaba de sus hijos sólo de Nando y sentían que sus vidas no valieron nada Hasta ahora que Bayona rescató la verdadera historia contada por los 16 sobrevivientes y dónde les dio voz a los que fallecieron y dándoles el valor que tuvieron en la montaña para que el resto sobrevivieran Nando es egoísta, todas sus entrevistas son sobre "yo" pero él nunca hubiese sobrevivido sin el aporte de sus amigos Tampoco fue él quien hizo todas las excursiones sino solo la del final El guardo energía mientras que Numa y el resto salieron a recorrer para ver dónde estaban se consumieron ya no les quedaba resto Ninguno es un héroe en esta historia todos fueron parte del final, sin cada uno, no se hubiese logrado
The film is a cinematic masterpiece, not only because of the aesthetics, art, photography, make-up or script, but because they managed to tell the story as real and truthful as possible, to the point that the survivors actively participated in it and say that when they see it they relive in their minds everything that happened. It is wonderful the way in which Bayona manages to show the harshness of what happened with an artistic touch and a strong emotional charge and for the first time not only highlighting the figure of the survivors as heroes but also those who died and did not make it out of the mountain, which is why Numa's voice as narrator is so important. Each of the actors met the real person they were playing and most of them managed to create a bond with them, moving from interpretation to reality and giving the importance it deserves to what each survivor felt, because as they have already said, each one remembers the mountain in a unique way. Thanks for reacting and next time, just cry, it is better to express your emotions!
I have the honor of living in the country that was the place of salvation for them: Chile. In 1972 the country was facing almost a civil war and, in fact, a year later a dictatorship started that lasted for 17 years (a dictatorship initially wanted by almost all the people btw, it was the only way to bring some order at the time. What happened next is open to debate).
Still, as soon as the news of the 16 survivors spreaded, the country was paralized. We all forgot about politics and were united on a common ground, we all wanted them alive, and they finally returned as a Phoenix when everyone was still mourning their loss. They weren’t chileans, we didn’t know them and we thought they were dead 70 days ago. We sent a lot of missions the first 10 days, but called them off because we were risking more lives to rescue what we thought were only the remains. We decided to wait for warmers times to do that, no one ever thought someone could be alive after a plane crash on the Andes mountains and after 72 days, it had never happened before and it hasn’t happened since, not once, ever. When we knew, the entire country celebrated their rescue and had a moment of happiness on those difficult times because of this unique survival story, we celebrated as if they were chileans themselves (and we still think of them as if they were).
And, decades later, we managed to rescue the 33 miners, alive, from a very underground mine after 69 days, and they almost had no food, no water, survived the colapse of a big part of the mine, the heat was almost unbearable, and the air was slowly being consumed. We spent a lot on executing many plans in case one or many of them didn’t work without even knowing if they survived the initial colapse, time was running out (chances were they were all already dead, we didn’t know they were alive until weeks after starting the rescue. We simply don’t leave anyone behind). And happily, one of those plans finally worked. The rest is history.
To me, those two stories are the most impressive survival stories ever registered, and we are proud of having taken part in both of them. This particular story is one of the greatest displays of human courage and strength known to mankind, is not called the Miracle of The Andes for nothing. And we were the promised land for those exceptional human beings, that’s something we will never forget. How could we?
Huge respect for all the passengers aboard that Fairchild 571 flight, including those who sadly couldn’t make it home alive, and that are resting up there at the Valley of Tears (it was called that way when this incident hadn’t occurred yet, like the name was meant to be). We had nothing but respect and admiration for them here, and we’ll never forget the lessons we learned from them. This is one of the few events in history that is truly worthy of being called a miracle, it’s nothing short of being one.
PS: the rescue scene is very accurate (the same as most of the film). What Nando says aboard the helicopter when he sees them is exactly what he said irl (“Ahí están! Ahí están! Están todos! Están todos!”, translated “There they are! There they are! There’s all of them! There’s all of them!” Iconic words remembered till this day) and the black and white shot is not made for the movie, it’s the real shot the camera man filmed that very day. What you see on that shot are the real survivors seconds after seeing that the rescue finally came after 72 days.
Thank you for the respectful and emotional reaction. I've known about this story since reading the book back in 1976, and this story still makes me cry some 50 years later. There's something about this story that keeps drawing me back to those 16, now 14, boys now men. When I think my life is in the crapper, I think of what they went through and think they had it worse. Great reaction.
Hello how are you? I grew up and lived knowing this tragedy. I was born in 1973. Greetings from Uruguay. You earned my subscription.
thank you for reacting to this masterpiece, i'm argentinian so i grew up hearing this story and your reaction at the end when finding out it was real made me cry with you
Top marks for choosing this as your first reaction.
They really knocked it out of the park with this movie, should win all the Oscars. It's ok to cry, we all did and no human would be spared from tears, it's just too powerful story!
Thank you for reacting to this special movie, it was very touching. Here in South America this story is well known. I just discovered you. Keep up the good work! A classic that will make you feel strong emotions is: "Greystoke, the legend of Tarzan" (1984). I hope you can react to it sometime. Greetings from Quito.
Thank you for your kind words and recommendation 🩷
@@NixairisReactions You are welcome. Best wishes to you.
The story should be well known everywhere. I'm from England & I've known the story for the past 40 years my point is there really is no excuse not knowing anything about this survival story
I feel so proud that this was your first movie reaction (and you did it wonderfully because I know you didn't want to cry and you couldn't do it 'cause it is impossible not to do watching this movie) because I am Uruguayan like them and this story touches us very deep. Bless you girl.
What hurts the MOST is that people had to go through that for SO long! This literally breaks my heart!
The most sincere reaction I´ve seen of this movie. I'm definitely going to subscribe, a big hug from Spain, I was lucky finding you channel
An even bigger hug from the states! Thank you so so much
Do not spot yourself. If you hadn't cried I would think you had no heart. Very good reaction to be the first. Kisses from #Chile and I recommend another excellent survival film by the same director of this one. (J.A Bayona) It's called THE IMPOSSIBLE, about the true story of a family in the Thailand Tsunami.
The Impossible is definitely on my list after watching this film! I can only imagine the rollercoaster of emotions with that film. Thank you for your kind words❤️
They were going to Santiago, Chile, well that's my city. The crash site is at 200 km from my house (like 124 miles) so they were at just minutes from their destination, like 15 minutes to be safe... and all this happened... it's so frustrating. 😕
Life really can change in a second.
We are the Best country of chile, brother
El tema es que nunca salieron de Mendoza, hasta el final de todo
Yes, but remarkably the Fairchild was still flying over Argentine airspace when it crashed. The survivors ended stranded at just one kilometer from the border , still in Argentinian territory, They didn't know it, they were led to believe they were in Chile, past Curicó.
El avión se estrelló en Malargüe, Mendoza
I recommend you watching interviews with the survivors, hearing the story from their own mouths is much more incredible. Theres a channel called "Nuevo Tiempo Uruguay" who has an intervew with most of them, hopefully you can put the subtitles on
Yeah, you always gotta wear both earphones, as this movie shows, sound design can be a huge part of the film watching experience.
The fact that this was the first time ever acting for most of them its absolutely crazy. One of them was a farmer before this film.
I am Argentine, I grew up in Uruguay and I returned to my country... I lived both cultures, my Argentine mother told me this story when I was little and with this film I was able to understand that story as it was
I'm not sure, but $45 in 1972 is equivalent to about $300 or more in this days, amiga. It sure was cheap, but not that cheap in those days.
i,m from Argentina, and the story of the uruguay Plane crushed in Los Andes, is a story that you heard everytime. So nice that you react to this beautiful movie. Lot of love From Here!
Allow me to correct you. Society of snow does not have Emmy nominations but 2 Oscar nominations and I really hope it wins, at least one of them because this movie actually deserves all recognition. Thanks for your review and yes, I cried a lot too :)
The film alive deservedeserve recognition too
Your vibe is so relax!! ❤
Thank you so much!!
Bienvenida a "La Cordillera". This is an obsession. The more you know about what happened, the more the story captures you.😅
This movie deserves an Oscars! This is a cinematic masterpiece, not only because of the aesthetics, art, photography, make-up or script, but because the story is real and truthful as possible....
And may I ask: why no focus on one of THE REAL HERO of the story - SERGIO CATALAN ? The man that found them was Sergio Catalan, a Chilean muleteer. (And this is Sergio Catalan's story). He was moving his animals through the mountain and happened to come across them. He said that at first he thought they were tourists. However, the more he looked at them he realized how poor their condition was. (But) because of the stream he couldn't hear them. So he had to go and get a piece of paper and a pen so the boys could communicate with him. Once he got their message he rode on his horse 10 hours to the closest police station. He said it took him what was left of the day and the whole night to get there and you were right in your reaction. When he arrived they didn't believe him. They thought he was drunk and making it up. However, since he refused to budge and he had the letter they decided to go ahead with the rescue... After they were rescued the survivors developed a really close relationship with him. Some of them said he was like a father to them. When he got sick and needed hip replacement surgery, the boys paid for his medical bills and Roberto helped him get treatment quickly since he was now a doctor. Sergio passed away in 2020 and Gustavo Zerbino attended his funeral in representation of the survivors. He carried his coffin and gave a speech to say goodbye to him. "
There should be a PART II of the Society of the Snow, with the story focusing on SERGIO CATALAN... People may disagree with me, but for me, Sergio Catalan is NOW a member of the Society of Snow - and ONE OF THE HEROES... So, I repeat, there should be a Part II...
The scene in Numa's house, it is on his real house in Montevideo.
Yo ya la vi como 15 veces y aún lloro es una historia triste desgarradora pero a la vez motivadora
I am from Uruguay and every time I see the scene of the reunion with their families, I can't stop crying with the mixture of sadness and happiness.
fact: When Nando Parrado hit his head on the roof of the plane, he had a brain concussion and was left in a coma for 3 days. The companions thought he had died so they left him on the side of the plane. Thanks to that Nando was saved, since the cold on his head reduced the swelling in his brain.
The black circles under his eyes were blood accumulated due to the blow to his head.
Another fact about Uruguay: There is no snow or mountains here, the highest hill is 500 meters (1640 feet). These guys were at the height, without any preparation and I think none of them knew snow.
Thanks so much for the reaction, you are so lovely 🩷
It is unavoidable not to cry with this movie. It moves all kind of emotions, hope, sadness, happiness, resilience. what a great movie!
39:13 They were the first to climb this mountain. They named it Mount Seller. In honor of Nando's father, Nando's main motivation to continue.
I think if you wouldn't have cried I would have questioned your lack of empathy. Crying let us know you are human. 💜💜💜
I guess you are now trapped in a state of reading about this case and watching interviews and stuff.
For your first reaction, you certainly started at the top of the heap. I've been taking in this story since it happened and this film is the most incredible telling I could have imagined. Word is, they filmed it at the actual crash site. Sr. Bayona has balls the size of Volkswagens. It's one of the most amazing films I've ever seen, or am likely to see. One cannot watch this film and not be changed. RIP.
Amazing reaction, thank you for sharing it. Thank you as well for watching it in Spanish.
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 plane also he was left kind of outside the plane because everybody was thinking he was dead. This served as a very cold ice pack to heal the swelling in his head and make him better. The idea Nando 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. Fito was called the inventor.
Carlitos, the young person who crashed into the suitcases with his car at 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 plane 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 protect them and sleep during their walk to Chile.
They had so so so so many cigarettes because in Chile cigarettes were scarce and Javier Methol, the man who lost his wife in 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. In those years if you went to Chile with a few dollars or had some out of the market products you were a millionaire. Chile was going through a horrible economical crisis.
Numa did not get injured like that in the real events, someone walked on his leg by accident because of 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 others 14 left in the plane also had a plan b in case Nando and Canessa did not make it which was putting together another team to hike the mountains.
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. In the alive version some families did not give permission to use the real rugby player's names. In this versions all the families were happy and satisfied with the way the story was told and gave permission.
Reporters kept 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 and were scared to be judged, being Catholics, by their families and friends also going to jail. They had a press conference were they answered to reporters questions ONCE instead that addressing the situation 100000 times to every reporter who asked. They asked the reporters and people for respect of their choices considering the very harsh circumstances they had to face. Pancho Delgado (Numa's best friend in the movie was they one who spoke in this conference) He said that Jesus gave his blood and body to save the world so the survivors took their friends bodies and blood for them to be save. Pancho also asked the reporters to please not spoiled with yellow press and judgement an act that was sacred to them and something that was done for pure survival instinct.
The actual survivors made a Kameo in the movie Nando, opened the door to the actor who played him at the airport, Roberto Canessa was one of the Drs in the Hospital when they got rescued, Coche Inciarte reading a newspaper in the bar Numa and his friends were, Numa's real life nephew passing by Numa's house when he was entering and Carlitos, who read all the survivors names, were is different scenes. The house shown as Numa's house in the movie was actually his real house back in 1972.
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 and when back home he personally went to each of the families homes of the passengers that did not survive to give them something that belonged to them, so the families even when not having their bodies they could have something to remember them by.
In the movie isn't shown but the rescue was in 2 stages. They had to rescue one lot of people that day and the next lot the day after. Some survivors 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 also the smell and dirt was unbearable.
There is a man who was part of the search team that were looking for the plane during the 71 days the survivors were stranded on the mountain. His name is Claudio Lucero and he had made quite strong arguments in the media about how he believes the 27 people left alive in the plane after the crash planned and plotted maliciously all the events that happened to them to gain fame. He states they could have left the mountain days before the day they got rescued, but chose to stay longer and go through hunger and lost to become famous and earn money.
From Uruguay here! the movie is really close to what happened because it was made together with some of the survivors, besides the ending, that in reality was a bit more... anticlimactic.
Thank you for reacting to a movie that portrays a little of my country
PS: you are super pretty too
That's right, it's based on a very famous real survival story, because of how extreme it was, there has been a lot of talk about this story on TV, documentaries, and in fact there are 2 more movies, besides this one, the best known is ALIVE the Hollywood version with Ethan Hawke in one of his first roles of his career, you could do a review of that one too, to see what you think.
Wow, I loved this movie so much that I'm already watching it 5 times and on all those times I ended up crying, I can't imagine what the reactions of their families and the survivors would be like T - T
The Snow Society movie is really a work of art J.Bayona shined more than ever👏❤️
Thanks for sharing this. It's nice to see how much attention is getting an non-english speaking movie all around the world, specially knowing that this is based in a real (or we could say unreal) story. As your subscriber Im gonna say a humble suggestion: don't force you to not cry! There is nothing bad about sharing our emotions. It makes you look real and empathetic. Cheers from Spain!
It’s not only based on a true story, the film is extremely accurate. Almost no creative liberties, and everything we see actually happened. This story is one of the greatest displays of human will, resilience, brotherhood and faith mankind has ever known of.
Ustedes deben saber lo importante que va a ser esta película para la historia del cine; por una razón, pone en valor la mayor epopeya de supervivencia de todos los tiempos,
Esta historia es realmente trascendente. Lo cierto es que la realidad es mucho más impresionante que la película, en lo tocante a la espiritualidad; que es , por definición, la mayor altura de humanidad.
I had to wait 31 years to find out how they were finally discovered. Because in the film ALIVE (1993) it is not as detailed as this. At that time I searched for all the literature about this story.
some of the real survivors appear in the movie!
Nando parrado is the man that opens the door to the actors playing him and his family
Canessa is one of the doctors in the end and he is behind Matias Recalt, the actor that played him
and the real Carlitos Paez plays his own father reading the list of survivors.
loved your reaction 💖 I cried alot watching this movie and just the fact that it's a true story is outstanding
44:47 that's real footage of thek being rescued ❤
They filmed in the mountains of Uruguay, Chile, and Argentina. They also filmed at the actual crash site.
Micheal Giacchino in the music
Fun fact some of the actual suvivors are in the film and they said that this flim was really close to what they survive
Aunque he visto esta historia en dos películas anteriores creo que nunca me sentí tan conmovido como en esta ocasión.
Me gustó mucho tu reacción
This is such an enjoyable reaction, so natural, well edited so we don´t lose any important part of the film, feels honest. I thought your channel would have like +50000 subs cause of the level of quality and dedication. Cheers from sub 95th!
You are SO sweet! Thank you so so much🥹
@@NixairisReactions may your channel constantly grow
Keep the good work
Cheers! 🤘
You should see a video of the curiosities and interesting facts about the movie. For example, the actors actually lost between 15 and 20 kg for the movie.
10:20 it was filmed at the crash site, J.A. Bayona likes to really make the movie immersive and faithful, so he didn't want any green screens for the set.
Perfect movie to start off with. Great reaction.
Everything about this film is absolutely perfect and so faithful to reality that it moved me to tears due to such a faithful adaptation of the real events of what happened. The depth of the characters, the visuals, the chronology, the narration is beautiful! It definitely tears your soul.
PS: That the director has opted to make the narrative from the perspective of one of the protagonists (Numa) who also dies, transmits a saturation of tremendous emotions. Numar represents the nature of the human being for the gift of doing good, helping others, it is inevitable to feel empathy with him and pain when he dies. I think we all cry when they read that little piece of paper that he leaves with a biblical passage... Simply Beautiful!
In 2005 I went to Mendoza (Argentina) and went to the scene of the accident, near the Las Leñas ski center, in Malargue. An unforgettable experience. To think that if they had gone to the Argentine side (the plane fell in Argentina), 20 kilometers away there was an abandoned hotel and a town where people lived.
9:50. Remember: you don’t “keep cold out,” you keep heat in. That could be an important distinction to remember someday. 🙏
Abrazos 🫂 desde Uruguay😊🇺🇾
Me gusta que vean la película en idioma original y sin doblajes. Ya que creo yo que no estan muy acostumbrados en USA a mirar las películas en idioma original
It is very worth noting that they are from a warm country, a coastal country.. they didn't know cold like that of the peaks of the Andes Mountain Range; their bodies also had to get acclimated to the altitude.
When you are that high.. the oxigen levels are so low that your blood doesn't have enough red cells to catch it, so you start getting dizzy and lightheaded, you literally choke WHILE breathing.. and so you panic
What a movie to pick for your first reaction video!
One of the things that really strikes me about this movie is that it's as much about the ones who died as it is about those who survived. The real life stories about what happened in the lives of the survivors is worth another movie in and of itself. Some of the actual survivors had cameos in this movie, interacting with the actors playing their parts
Very nice job, Nixairis. Thank you. I'm also Uruguayan. My best friend's uncle was on the plane (Javier). He survived. Take care.
Todoooo es real!!!!!😢!!!! TODO esa historia paso en la vida Real!!!
yes it is a true story, loved your reaction ❤
Soy uruguayo,realmente llore contigo viendo tu reaccion,lamentablemente fue real todo lo del accidente,ojala hayas podido encontrar mas información sobre el accidente,es una historia increíble,muchas gracias por tu reaccion y por emocionarte con mis compatriotas,salodus desde Uruguay
I'm sure someone mentioned it already but I believe this was actually filmed in the real location the crash happened back in '72. Such an incredible story as well as film
your reaction to the movie was truly lovely and real. It is a really raw and harsh story
That's a bold choice for a first reaction. Good job. Since you asked, the movie was actually shot in the mountains of Sierra Nevada in Spain, and the VFX team did an amazing job of digitally adding the images of the Andes so it looks like they were actually there. Filming in the actual location would have been really difficult.
What a beautiful reaction when you found out that it was based on a true story.
Glad you did some research and found out Carlitos Páez Rodriguez played his own father in the movie. Fernando Parrado, Dr. Roberto Canessa, Gustavo Zervino, José Luis “Coche” Inciarte (RIP), and a few more also made a cameo in the movie.
It is the most extraordinary survival story there is. This is about resilience, friendship, love and Faith.
Yes it is. In fact there's an old movie from 1993 with etahn hawk and Jhon Malcovich. Also there's a lot of book's written and documentary on you tube.
Te quiero mujer que llora a semejante historia de supervivencia. Abrazo inmenso desde Argentina.
You shouldn't hide your tears, they are not ugly. There's nothing bad about being moved by a movie, specially if its based in a real story. It makes you real and relatable, be yourself.
i liked how you edited the video
A fun fact about the history, is that Sergio Catalan’s wife, invited Nando and Roberto to their golden wedding, when they arrive to the village that is in the side of Chile, in front of Los Andes, called Puente Negro, they saw Sergio in his horse, they went with him and said "Excuse me sir, we’re lost, would you mind helping us again?” 😭💗
Thank you for the emotion of a story that, as a Uruguayan, touches my most intimate fiber. We have grown with this incredible experience and now the world has a new opportunity to see it from another perspective.❤
Thank you so much for reacting 🇺🇾🤗
This story still amazes me to this day, each time i think about it im surprised at what humans can do when your life depends on it, the whole thing is so horrible and so beautiful at the same time, all interviews with the survivors are very touching, they all went on to have amazing lives that somehow made it all worth it
Es una historia real... y de hecho algunos de los sobrevivientes actuaron en ésta película como por ejemplo Carlos Páez que fue el que leyó el listado de sobrevivientes... él es uno de los verdaderos sobrevivientes de Los Andes.
If you are interested, a lot of the survivors have some TEDTalks and some conferences where they talk about it. I really recommend it.
Dont worry about crying. I cry on every reaction about this movie lmao
The score was phenomenal, really hits your feelings.
P.s. Didn’t notice Pochita in the corner until the end.
You have such a good heart. Thank you for sharing it with us. Your channel is off to a great start. I cry at everything too lol I was crying watching YOU cry.
Hello Nixairis, sorry for my horrible english. but it's just to say that i loved your reaction, the film complies with what it is and what happened, also because of what i know is that there were some more parts that they recorded but they couldn't put them in because of lack of time, and another thing, if you like to know more about the subject, there are photos, more photos, parts of the newspaper, there are interviews (there's the thing, i don't know if in english, sorry hehe), and also the survivors had published a book not everyone got it, but i think two or three. In advance, greetings, sweetness
