It's extremely important to know, that these people didn't develope a "taste for human flesh" because they were in a extrem situation. They didn't kill each other freely to give their friends something to eat. They made a pact that if someone dies, the others are allowed to eat him. It was extremely intimate and a gift. They LOVED each other and they wanted to keep each other alive. I beg everyone to please read their books and memoirs because what they did for each other is beyond simple compassion.
@@randomasmr5238 it’s insane I know, but some horrible people have accused them of this. Some people refused to forgive them for this and condemn them to this day saying they were evil and horrible for what they did even though they had to. Many of them felt horrible about it even after in their heart so much so that the Pope absolved them to reassure them they weren’t condemned. Crazy crazy story.
If I died in a disaster I'd want the survivors to survive. Even if that means eating my corpse. It's not a hard decision. I'm dead. Just take back some of my belongings so my family has something to bury.
Its the same way I see it as giving someone an organ and in a way thats true :) For me to say someone could eat me to survive I'd have utterly no problem, have no idea about me doing that certainly wouldnt dream of judging anyone doing that though in anyway at all
Roberto and Nando both confirmed they first tried eating leather, cotton and other textiles. Hell they sure tried before it got to this point...can't imagine.
Exactly. They tried to seat the seat covers, shoe laces, equipment from the plane. Anything. They ate their friends as a LAST RESORT. They did what they HAD to do
"Okay so Phyllis and Stanley are clearly not going to live long in this climate and they have a substantial amount of meat. Why is everyone looking at me like that? You know it's the truth!"

Unfortunately, the event called 'the miracle of the Andes' is mostly known in the world because of this film, a completely distorted version of the real story. And even worse, most of the videos in English on the incident are based on this movie. The survivors find the way the facts and characters are depicted disrespectful, and call it 'the Disney version'. In 'Alive', a lot of the facts were changed (not minor details) and others were made up just to give Ethan Hawke's character the role of the 'superhero', while the other characters are practically passive spectators who depend entirely on Nando's initiative. In reality, what took those young men out of the mountains was the extraordinary teamwork, the resourcefulness and the heroic actions of the whole group, including many of those who died in the snow. The main leaders and strategists were the Strauch cousins, but as the survivors say, each one of them was a leader depending on the moment and the skills needed during the 72 days they were stranded in the Andes.
@@fernandocenturion4829 The survivors and the families of the deceased love it, they're very grateful to Bayona and his team for making such a respectful portrayal of their ordeal.
There are major films in several languages in different countries so not just this film depicts it. Any film is going to be a Disney version of people forced to resort to cannibalism. No one wants to do it but they had to survive.
I can’t believe this is a true story. I remember watching this movie as a kid and there was this massive interest in the story. Unfortunately those people did what they did to survive. Bless their hearts and souls I think the Lord would understand.
namepi yes, they did what they had to do, eat the meat in the hands and feet between the bones, breaking bones and eating bone marrow, cracking skills open and eating the brains, and eating the testicles
'Alive' is not the real story, it's just an awful adaptation of the book of the same name, in which a lot of the facts were changed and others were made up in order to give Ethan Hawke's character the role of the 'superhero' that saves the whole group almost on his own, while the other characters are portrayed as passive spectators. In reality, it was teamwork at its best and a chain of heroic actions what took them out of the mountains. The survivors dislike this film, and call it 'the Disney version'.
Amigo, I've just about had it with you. If you're a survivor, then stand up and name yourself. If not, then get the fuck out of here. Every good movie needs a central protagonist.

When I saw my first body, it was my beloved grandfather's. I instantly had the distinct impression that it wasn't him anymore, that the man I had known and loved had left. It was then that I realized that our bodies are just vehicles, machines operated by our souls. When we die, our soul leaves. Where it goes, I believe that it just doesn't die. It goes somewhere else.
@@jeremyjames7009 i really don’t care if death is truly just an eternal sleep as i’m not going to care once i’m gone - however, nothing is definite. we can’t say for sure what comes after death.
Sadly I have to agree. The idea is sickening, but in an area where nothing grows, not even a blade of grass, I would do what I have to in order to survive. Some hate the idea and I don't blame them. If the bodies were thawed I might have a harder time going through with it, but they were frozen solid thus doing away with much taste but still having nutrients preserved.
Yeah, sad that some died because they just couldn’t stomach it. But think of it as organ donation or blood transfusion. I needed one once to live that person blood saved my life and I was very grateful. In return I made sure I put myself down as an organ donor on my drivers license. So in a hypothetical situation similar to this. If I pass away I definitely wouldn’t mind if they used my body so they can continue to survive.
@@bawoman no there was, a lot of people didn’t care and listen for their stories and just shammed them for the things they did. even churches were calling them sinners and etc, until people took time to their stories and how they had to survive
@@QueenJess2k05 That did not happen at all lol. There were a couple of newspapers that made snide comments, that is all. The church almost immediately approved it
@Ivan Ivan Yes, I am big and round like a pig. I have fatty parts that would make excellent bacon. Though I guess if I died of starvation my fatty parts would go away before I died, so y'all best hope I die before starvation sets in!
Exactly and it was frozen and raw uncooked meat. It would've been literally all they could do to even be able to stomach what they ate and keep it down. They're true survivors and amazing.
One of the boys who hit his head and suffered amnesia from the crash watched as the others cut up flesh and said nothing, until the time came when he was offered a piece, he said, "it's like Holy Communion; when Christ died, he gave us his body so we could have spiritual life. My friend has given us his body, so that we can have physical life." This short, profound statement, eventually changed the minds of the others who had refused to eat. This was an in extremis situation, none of us can possibly fathom let alone understand what they had to go through. Nothing grows where the plane crashed, no trees, no grass, no plant life, no animals, nothing. All that was there was the plane, rock, snow, and sky. They had literally no other options. All of them were Roman Catholics. They did not take this decision lightly. A priest came to visit the hospital where the boys were after their return; he told them flat out they don't have to confess to eating human flesh because they didn't do anything wrong or sinful by doing so. The Catholic church agreed and came out publicly supporting the boys. They suffered more than any of us can imagine. But they made it out alive. The only way they could do this was by saving themselves. Nando & Roberto climbed and walked almost 40 miles through the mountains to safety. They lived 72 days with nothing but eachother. Think of that next time you want to make judgemental comments. I highly encourage you all to read Alive by Paul Piers Reed.
@@Laurennn please go correct Wikipedia please, because the only excerpt we have is: “Javier Methol and his wife Liliana, the only surviving female passenger, were the last survivors to eat human flesh. She had strong religious convictions, and only reluctantly agreed to partake of the flesh after she was told to view it as "like Holy Communion".
@@dand2128 that's because the boys encouraged the holdouts to use this as a comparison to save themselves. I believe Pedro Algorta is the one who said it originally.
@@dand2128 I went back to the book for reference, yes, it was Pedro Algorta who said it originally. The rest picked this up as a concept to get the others to eat the flesh for their own survival, they were mostly all devout Roman Catholics.
Lol! Stupid argument, tho you have a point; if it's your way on dealing with your life. Every struggle is valid, you don't need to compare yours. Each one of us encounter difficulties in our lives... So let's say example your wife/husband have cancer all you have to do is think of these men's ordeal, because it's no easy than having a cancer? Get your shit together! We cannot compare our problems! No wonder why previous generation still continues passing on the trauma to the current generation that they will deal later on in their life. Stop comparing! These men had it worst, yes! But I won't say to feel better because I have problem is to think of them--did you know by thinking this way you are avoiding the real problem? By avoiding the feeling and emotions you have to go through to learn something from it.
I wud really rather be dead and be eaten than to eat my own human species even tho, they're dead can't still eat them just to survive. Anyway even if I survive one day I wud still be dead. And if I die o wud die in a much dignified Manner by not eating a Human flesh. I'm really scared to be friends and trust people who says they are willing to eat a Human flesh just to survive these people can't be trusted I mean they cud still do mean thing when they're Hungry bcuz this is wat desire do to Humanity it shed blood , tears and eat Thier own Flesh. #makeurFaithStrong!!!!
@@Akeboun it says in the book that every person began eating the dead. Liliana was the last to do so as she was absolutely certain she would not do it, but as she got weaker she had to do it
I don't judge them at all you never know what you would do until you've been in a situation like that. This makes me grateful that I'm sat in a nice warm house with a kitchen full of food.
@@beyondz55 So you choose death then? They were stranded out there for 72 days, which is longer than the two months most experts say is the maximum time the human body can survive without food. Until you are faced with the most extreme of situations such as these rugby players were, you cannot say with any conviction what you would do yourself, because you are basing it on hypertheticals instead of reality.
@@andycross9840 no im basing it on morals and personal ethics. I've also been close to death before. You really don't know an invidiuals life experiences from some YT comments.
@@andycross9840 furthermore....have you not heard of Kuru disease? Look up Liberia and their modern practice of cannibalism and the prions they get from it. Also the Bible says: After the global flood, God gave Noah permission to eat meat. "Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything” (Genesis 9:3). However, God specifies that the “food for you” does not include fellow human beings. People are treated much differently from animals: “Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind” (Genesis 9:6). Cannibalism is mentioned several times in Scripture (Leviticus 26:29; Deuteronomy 28:53-57; Jeremiah 19:9; Lamentations 2:20; 4:10; Ezekiel 5:10), but in each case, the practice is regarded as a horrible curse and inhuman act of desperation. Moses and other prophets predicted that, if the Israelites forsook God, they would fall into such awful degradation as to cannibalize their own children. These harrowing prophecies were fulfilled during the siege of Samaria during the reign of King Jehoram (2 Kings 6:28-29). Cannibalism was the physical horror which accompanied the spiritual horror of apostasy.
@@andycross9840 thirdly you should recognize that this story of survival isnt rare. There are many survival stories. This one though features cannibalism and Hollywood producers like Frank Marshall really seized on that focal point in an oddly specific way. You dont have to engage this hypothetical becuase it wont happen to you. I guarantee you wont be faced with cannibalism or death. So it's very odd this is pushed in so much entertainment these days. Also Frank Marshall produced the Twilight Zone film in the 80s.... he notoriously (with wife Kathy Kennedy and Speilberg producers) underpaid Vietnamese child actors and broke child labor laws and with idiot John Landis they botched a special FX shot and the 2 kids with actor vic morrow got decapitated. What did Frank do? Remember Frank directed this film Alive. Well...Frank fucking fled the USA to evade the authorities and the trial. So fuck him and his movie and anyone who imagines themselves eating humans. Sick fucks.
I know it's just a movie, but they all look wayyy too "comfortable". In real life a lot of them were injured. They were probably hardly functioning from extreme hunger and the cold, and I can't even imagine the hopelessness they felt, and the desperation they were experiencing to resort to cannibalism. This just isn't very convincing...
I’ve watched several interviews and one of the survivors said that in order to mentally survive he recurred to being funny, he even said that the moment he tasted the human piece he said “it tastes like the cured ham from my hometown” and everyone laughed.
I don’t judge them for what they did. they had to do what they had to do to survive. people say “oh i would never do that.” but you’ve never been in that situation before so you wouldn’t understand until you’re in that situation.
@@toddpacker4683 how about Frank Marshall the director of the film? Lets examine his morals. Before Alive he produced The Twilight Zone movie with kathy kennedy speilberg and landis. Under his management 3 actors were killed on set...2 were underpaid Vietnamese children who were decapitated. Frank fled the country to evade the trial. His production management knew they wwre breaking child labor laws. Thats who made you Alive film. He loves this story. Sick.
I just have to say that this is NOT bad acting. The poster of this video clearly has never seen bad acting. No way in hell is this bad acting. I love this movie. What a powerful story.
Lol, remember watching this movie for the first time around Labor Day '93. Started feeling sick around the cannibalism scene, thought it was making me nauseous. Turned out I was coming down with the flu.
"Let me tell you ine thing. If I have meat in my belly I intend to get something done." Poweful line. A resounding quote that echoes through the chambers of humanity paying homage to our ancestors who sacrificed ao much to survive while barely getting by. Now an abundance of food has rendered us impotent and soft. Fast, eat, get something done...repeat. The way of our ancestors
I think it's ok as long as u dont kill one of the survivors for food. The dead body is just going to lie there. How did they survive for 70 days , I'm guessing the bodies did not rot bc it was freezing ?
@@thepapistyourmotherwarnedy752 no it wouldn't but it would be a start. They're actors and they made a personal sacrifice to better feel hunger and desperation.
@@thepapistyourmotherwarnedy752 The team was formed by 16 former students of a Uruguayan school, who got together on weekends to play rugby as they used to in school, and only 5 of them survived. They'd invited friends and relatives to fill the plane and pay less for each ticket. Quite a lot of the guests didn't know each other or were just acquaintances before the crash.
People will do anything when desperate. The characters all change there minds when hunger sets in.scary thought. IMO id probably foolishly try walk it.
I worked at a high adventure boy scout camp in New Mexico ( Philmont) as a Ranger for a couple of summers, and my job was to supervise troops on their treks for 2 of their 11 days in the back country, hiking between 50-70 plus mile treks. I don't know how many "vegan's and "Vegetarians" I had in my crews who by day 2 quit their practices and busted open that bag or beef jerky, canned ham etc before I would have to leave them on their own. Their bodies couldn't handle the stress of hiking and their loss of fluids and weight and they become screwed up internally their body craves something else to help sustain them that just practicing vegetarian and vegan couldn't provide for them. The body wants what it wants and the need to survive will always win out..
It takes a lot of couraged to that knowing they don't want to do that, but they need to In order to survived 72 days. very Inspiring and how brave this 16 survivors are! madly respect for them
You have to eat human brain matter to contract Kuru. Muscle meat has a low or no impact on contracting the disease. The survivors of this crash didn't eat the brains of the dead.
The rugby team didn't commit cannibalism, but ANTHROPOPHAGY. The difference is that cannibals kill humans specifically for their meat... the rugby team only ate humans that were already dead.
Nando Parrado protected the bodies of his mom and sister and they were not touched. The group made sure that relatives did not eat the bodies of their kin. One survivor lasted until Day 60 and then passed away. He rejected eating human flesh. When he died he weighed 55 pounds. I’m not sure what I would do.
Before going on the last excursion, since they were running out of bodies and some of them were really weak and sick, Nando asked them to please eat the bodies of his sister and mother if they needed to in order to survive. They promised they would only do so as a last resort.
Actually, the whole group agreed not to eat any of the survivors' relatives: - Nando's mother and sister - The Strauch cousins' cousin - Javier Methol's wife and cousin
Initially, Numa Turcatti did eat human flesh, but around a month later, he hurt his leg, and the wound became septic. As the days went by, he started losing hope of being rescued, more infected wounds invaded his body, and he couldn't put up with eating the dead bodies any more, so his health deteriorated rapidly, and he died on day 61. He wasn't part of the rugby team, like most of the passengers, and barely knew some of them. Numa Turcatti is the main character in the new film 'Society of the Snow'. The survivors and the families of the deceased say that, unlike 'Alive', this film does portray the real story.
Alive is the better film. No drama will ever top it. Mr. Marshall, Mr. Shanley, and Mr. Howard are collaborative geniuses. I'm familiar with Numa Turcatti's death spiral. So is everyone who's read Read's book, or any of the various memoirs out there. What is your point? To barge in like an Edgy, Smart Boy every time you think the film has omitted some special detail? Seriously, amigo: either name yourself as an Andes survivor or get the fuck out. @@Adifgreat
@hightreason7934 That's your opinion about 'Alive', not the survivors'. They've always said 'Alive' is not real story, so its historical inaccuracy is not debatable to me because they have pointed it out over the last 30 years in the interviews they've given for the Spanish speaking media, they dislike 'Alive' and find the way the facts and characters are depicted disrespectful... WHO ELSE BUT THE SURVIVORS THEMSELVES can say if a film does portray what they really lived in the Andes or not?
There is a documentary about Belgian WOII volunteers for the German Eastern Front, and there is mentioned that cannibalism was not rare, on the contrary. The person interviewed stated he ate human flesh himself, and that it tasted very salty. But that was in war time, at a place where all humanity had been gone and forgotten
I disagree with the extremely dramatic part... they just made the audience feel the tense of being in that situation, having that mindset, having to eat ur friends to survive.
As a lapse catholic and seeing this film and the true story behind it, I would say god would forgive them giving the situation they were in. I read recently that there was no animal or even grass in that area, so yeah if I were in their shoes, I would do that too.
Can't say I blame them. It was an all around screwed up situation where there was no winning. Sometimes there is no good option, just the least bad one, and eating corpses, as disturing of a prospect as it is, was probably better than a slow and agonizing death to starvation. Also it wasn't a decision made lightly, they only resorted to this when it became absolutely undeniable that there was nothing else they could do.
Yeah, the movie failed to show that they literally tried to eat parts of the plane and their own clothes and getting sick because of it before resorting to eat the bodies
I like that the point is made about cannibalism being a part of human history. Before agriculture and reliable food sources, there must have been hundreds of thousands of years where an emergency would happen and force people to get creative with their meat. Sometimes guaranteeing the survival of your clan is worth the risk of upsetting your ancestors (or catching a brain parasite).
It was not ‘cannibalism’. The definition of which is humans who have developed a taste for human flesh and kill to eat it. These young men were forced to eat the only edible protein to be found on the mountain into which they crashed. They are all HEROES. Heroes…two of whom walked across an almost vertical snow covered mountain range for miles, in sub zero temperatures, in summer clothes and rugby boots, having survived a plane crash, constant freezing conditions, while recovering from a head injury, coma, the death of friends and relatives, starvation and malnutrition..in order to get help and save others. And some call them cannibals. HEROES. Legends. All of them. Always.
No im pretty sure its still cannibalism cus cannibalism is when you eat your own kind wether you like it or not psychos like jeffery dahmer are proper canibals
It always bothered me how beautiful everything and everyone was in this movie, even the gnarly stuff was done very unconvincingly, and horribly acted. I'm super glad for the survivors and the lost ones who got to have their story told 100% right by JA Bayona and the team behind "The Society of the Snow" in 2023, Masterpiece of a movie and extremely hard to watch, actually made with hispanic actors speaking spanish with their mannerisms and accents, showing the brutality and horrors of each of the 72 days they spent up there.
😕❓❓ Do you always get the woke thing? Did you know that it is a movie that is more than 30 years old?

@@stupidsteven2421 yeah I'm pretty sure they tried eating literally anything else before resorting to eating human flesh. I think it was like, leather from shoes, the foam cushioning in the seats, things like that. Really sad :(

A few french fries, broccolie, delicious!!! This book made the rounds back in the late 70s when I was in middle school. Even as a kid I didn't get why they worried so much about what people would think...
Such a brilliant story deserves a new movie i think. The story will live on for eternity and i think they definitely should redo this movie its wholly out of date
Probably,a true cannibal person would eat alive humans;they ate already dead ones. In addiction,they had no intention to murder,they only wanted to survive.The two things r deeply different,according to me.I respect & really admire them. They r the notion of the word "heroes" to me & watching this movie makes me feel closer to the ones I consider faithful & very wise men
When you think about it, there's nothing intrinsically wrong with cannibalism. It's merely intrinsically wrong, due to social norms. In cases of emergency, such as this, it would seem to be the logical thing to do.
I agree with you, but I think you meant “it’s merely considered or viewed as intrinsically wrong”. “It’s merely intrinsically wrong” means that it is absolutely wrong.
No joke, it's true, although it was more like ten miles. Also, if they had gone East Instead of West they would have come to a road in just a few days.
What makes this so much worse is the fact that there was an abandoned hotel with food medical supply around 22km away from the crash site. Today with our technology, you could find out in a matter of minutes. Back then the uncertainty made a journey in any direction a high risk endeavour.
Note: The reason I joke is because I realize how serious a situation this is and while I acknowledge the bravery and sacrifice of these people, I - in my comfortable living room - am a little freaked out by this whole thing. Anyway... Sweeney Todd, anyone?
I remember seeing this movie as a kid but I had no Idea it was based on a true story until a few years ago when I saw a documentary about the actual survivors I also saw the new movie as well
Watch Survive! A Mexican film, this scene is too comedic compared to the other movie. This one sounds like its a day trip. The other film felt like they were struggling to survive
I don’t think I could even dream of judging them for this. It’s impossible to understand the ordeal they faced, having not been there.
Exactly....they needed protein to survive. I thinm if you are hungry enough you will eat

@@jeremyjames7009 i really don’t care if death is truly just an eternal sleep as i’m not going to care once i’m gone - however, nothing is definite. we can’t say for sure what comes after death.
You shoulda ate that dude
Sadly I have to agree. The idea is sickening, but in an area where nothing grows, not even a blade of grass, I would do what I have to in order to survive. Some hate the idea and I don't blame them. If the bodies were thawed I might have a harder time going through with it, but they were frozen solid thus doing away with much taste but still having nutrients preserved.
Would have been a lot easier to eat had they had some condiments. A little mustard or some Siracha would have made the meat more palatable.
Yeah, sad that some died because they just couldn’t stomach it. But think of it as organ donation or blood transfusion. I needed one once to live that person blood saved my life and I was very grateful. In return I made sure I put myself down as an organ donor on my drivers license. So in a hypothetical situation similar to this. If I pass away I definitely wouldn’t mind if they used my body so they can continue to survive.
I understand why they did what they did. I don't judge them if I was in that situation I would be probably thinking the same thing.
there is no way I think about eating a dead human body under any circumstances..

@@francodahglizock0590it was still meat i mean u can say flesh
The fact the place they stayed was about 3 times smaller than that in the movie just makes this story even more incredible
One of the boys who hit his head and suffered amnesia from the crash watched as the others cut up flesh and said nothing, until the time came when he was offered a piece, he said, "it's like Holy Communion; when Christ died, he gave us his body so we could have spiritual life. My friend has given us his body, so that we can have physical life." This short, profound statement, eventually changed the minds of the others who had refused to eat.
This was an in extremis situation, none of us can possibly fathom let alone understand what they had to go through. Nothing grows where the plane crashed, no trees, no grass, no plant life, no animals, nothing. All that was there was the plane, rock, snow, and sky. They had literally no other options. All of them were Roman Catholics. They did not take this decision lightly. A priest came to visit the hospital where the boys were after their return; he told them flat out they don't have to confess to eating human flesh because they didn't do anything wrong or sinful by doing so. The Catholic church agreed and came out publicly supporting the boys.
They suffered more than any of us can imagine. But they made it out alive. The only way they could do this was by saving themselves.
Nando & Roberto climbed and walked almost 40 miles through the mountains to safety. They lived 72 days with nothing but eachother. Think of that next time you want to make judgemental comments.
I highly encourage you all to read Alive by Paul Piers Reed.
That was not one of the boys, but Liliana, by the way.
@@dand2128 it most definitely was not Liliana. I've read the book well over 10x.
@@Laurennn please go correct Wikipedia please, because the only excerpt we have is: “Javier Methol and his wife Liliana, the only surviving female passenger, were the last survivors to eat human flesh. She had strong religious convictions, and only reluctantly agreed to partake of the flesh after she was told to view it as "like Holy Communion".
@@dand2128 that's because the boys encouraged the holdouts to use this as a comparison to save themselves. I believe Pedro Algorta is the one who said it originally.
@@dand2128 I went back to the book for reference, yes, it was Pedro Algorta who said it originally. The rest picked this up as a concept to get the others to eat the flesh for their own survival, they were mostly all devout Roman Catholics.
If ever you are having a bad time, just think about this situation and your problems will seem small.
Thank you for this I'm feel grateful knowing what those men had to do to survive. Small problems dont even compare what they did to stay alive.
It doesn't work like that
@@cichosza7213 What makes you say that?
Lol! Stupid argument, tho you have a point; if it's your way on dealing with your life. Every struggle is valid, you don't need to compare yours. Each one of us encounter difficulties in our lives... So let's say example your wife/husband have cancer all you have to do is think of these men's ordeal, because it's no easy than having a cancer? Get your shit together! We cannot compare our problems! No wonder why previous generation still continues passing on the trauma to the current generation that they will deal later on in their life. Stop comparing! These men had it worst, yes! But I won't say to feel better because I have problem is to think of them--did you know by thinking this way you are avoiding the real problem? By avoiding the feeling and emotions you have to go through to learn something from it.

I wud really rather be dead and be eaten than to eat my own human species even tho, they're dead can't still eat them just to survive. Anyway even if I survive one day I wud still be dead. And if I die o wud die in a much dignified Manner by not eating a Human flesh.

#makeurFaithStrong!!!!
@@Akeboun it says in the book that every person began eating the dead. Liliana was the last to do so as she was absolutely certain she would not do it, but as she got weaker she had to do it
Indeed, even though everyone ate, one person stopped eating because he felt repulsed by it. As a result, he died.
I don't judge them at all you never know what you would do until you've been in a situation like that. This makes me grateful that I'm sat in a nice warm house with a kitchen full of food.
I can’t go 8 hours without eating something. Imagine going days/weeks. You do what you have to to survive.
Your soul is eternal and based on choices you make. Personally id chose to starve than eat a fellow human. Its unnatural.
@@beyondz55 So you choose death then? They were stranded out there for 72 days, which is longer than the two months most experts say is the maximum time the human body can survive without food. Until you are faced with the most extreme of situations such as these rugby players were, you cannot say with any conviction what you would do yourself, because you are basing it on hypertheticals instead of reality.
@@andycross9840 no im basing it on morals and personal ethics. I've also been close to death before. You really don't know an invidiuals life experiences from some YT comments.
@@andycross9840 furthermore....have you not heard of Kuru disease? Look up Liberia and their modern practice of cannibalism and the prions they get from it. Also the Bible says:
After the global flood, God gave Noah permission to eat meat. "Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything” (Genesis 9:3). However, God specifies that the “food for you” does not include fellow human beings. People are treated much differently from animals: “Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind” (Genesis 9:6).
Cannibalism is mentioned several times in Scripture (Leviticus 26:29; Deuteronomy 28:53-57; Jeremiah 19:9; Lamentations 2:20; 4:10; Ezekiel 5:10), but in each case, the practice is regarded as a horrible curse and inhuman act of desperation. Moses and other prophets predicted that, if the Israelites forsook God, they would fall into such awful degradation as to cannibalize their own children. These harrowing prophecies were fulfilled during the siege of Samaria during the reign of King Jehoram (2 Kings 6:28-29). Cannibalism was the physical horror which accompanied the spiritual horror of apostasy.
@@andycross9840 thirdly you should recognize that this story of survival isnt rare. There are many survival stories. This one though features cannibalism and Hollywood producers like Frank Marshall really seized on that focal point in an oddly specific way. You dont have to engage this hypothetical becuase it wont happen to you. I guarantee you wont be faced with cannibalism or death. So it's very odd this is pushed in so much entertainment these days. Also Frank Marshall produced the Twilight Zone film in the 80s.... he notoriously (with wife Kathy Kennedy and Speilberg producers) underpaid Vietnamese child actors and broke child labor laws and with idiot John Landis they botched a special FX shot and the 2 kids with actor vic morrow got decapitated. What did Frank do? Remember Frank directed this film Alive. Well...Frank fucking fled the USA to evade the authorities and the trial. So fuck him and his movie and anyone who imagines themselves eating humans. Sick fucks.
I remember i got in trouble in school during this scene for going “everyone knows if you want to survive you got to eat that ass”

I know it's just a movie, but they all look wayyy too "comfortable". In real life a lot of them were injured. They were probably hardly functioning from extreme hunger and the cold, and I can't even imagine the hopelessness they felt, and the desperation they were experiencing to resort to cannibalism. This just isn't very convincing...
I was there kid we were exactly like this
They took pics while they were stranded
They’re smiling in a pic with a human spine visible
@@alberttwangle893prove it
I’ve watched several interviews and one of the survivors said that in order to mentally survive he recurred to being funny, he even said that the moment he tasted the human piece he said “it tastes like the cured ham from my hometown” and everyone laughed.
Agree they needed to get some skinnier more starved looking actors
i can't imagine what it really must have been like for those poor men and women....
I don’t judge them for what they did. they had to do what they had to do to survive. people say “oh i would never do that.” but you’ve never been in that situation before so you wouldn’t understand until you’re in that situation.
Starving and freezing to death would've been far worse than having to suck on and chew raw chunks of human flesh before swallowing them.
I like how some of them put snow in their mouth as well because I can see someone doing that when they don't wanna taste the raw human flesh
To the one who says he'd rather die, tell him he might be eaten as well, then

His production management knew they wwre breaking child labor laws. Thats who made you Alive film. He loves this story. Sick.

I think it's ok as long as u dont kill one of the survivors for food. The dead body is just going to lie there. How did they survive for 70 days , I'm guessing the bodies did not rot bc it was freezing ?
The cold and snow basically kept them from rotting. First they only ate the outer flesh, but it became necessary to eat organs and even brains.
After it started getting hotter, they had to resort to eating parts of their hands, feet, tomgue, and testicles
When it came time to film this scene, the cast fasted for two days in order to give themselves a better understanding as to how the survivors felt.
Even fasting for just two days wouldn’t even come close to what the Rugby team went through
@@thepapistyourmotherwarnedy752 no it wouldn't but it would be a start. They're actors and they made a personal sacrifice to better feel hunger and desperation.
@@thepapistyourmotherwarnedy752 The team was formed by 16 former students of a Uruguayan school, who got together on weekends to play rugby as they used to in school, and only 5 of them survived. They'd invited friends and relatives to fill the plane and pay less for each ticket. Quite a lot of the guests didn't know each other or were just acquaintances before the crash.

People will do anything when desperate. The characters all change there minds when hunger sets in.scary thought. IMO id probably foolishly try walk it.
I worked at a high adventure boy scout camp in New Mexico ( Philmont) as a Ranger for a couple of summers, and my job was to supervise troops on their treks for 2 of their 11 days in the back country, hiking between 50-70 plus mile treks. I don't know how many "vegan's and "Vegetarians" I had in my crews who by day 2 quit their practices and busted open that bag or beef jerky, canned ham etc before I would have to leave them on their own.
Their bodies couldn't handle the stress of hiking and their loss of fluids and weight and they become screwed up internally their body craves something else to help sustain them that just practicing vegetarian and vegan couldn't provide for them.
The body wants what it wants and the need to survive will always win out..
@Nitty Gritty Very constructive argument (moron).
I know I hiked in Philmont as well, for me add to the fact that I live up North and thus was not normally used to those dry air conditions
I came here because of the documentary! I salute their courage in the situation that seemed very hopeless.
It takes a lot of couraged to that knowing they don't want to do that, but they need to In order to survived 72 days. very Inspiring and how brave this 16 survivors are! madly respect for them
That's literally almost 2 and a half MONTHS. It's absolutely incredible they survived that long and God definitely gave them tremendous strength.
"Then the dust will return to the earth as it was,
And the spirit will return to God who gave it." --Ecclesiastes 12:7.

I don't really see the huge taboo about it. You think a dead human is really that different than a dead cow ? It's just red meat.
Tracy S well 10 days with out food ,, and hungry .. and wanting to survive,, ,,any ones would eat ,,nando parrado words
You have to eat human brain matter to contract Kuru. Muscle meat has a low or no impact on contracting the disease. The survivors of this crash didn't eat the brains of the dead.
Tracy S okay, Hannibal Lecter
human meat isn't very nutritious so you need to eat a lot to survive also parts of it would cause diseases or some stuff but yeah eat away
If you eat the brain it can destroy you
They did what they had to, to survive. The film handled the subject very well imo. I need to read the book.
The rugby team didn't commit cannibalism, but ANTHROPOPHAGY. The difference is that cannibals kill humans specifically for their meat... the rugby team only ate humans that were already dead.
Only 16 of the 45 people on that plane were amateur rugby players, and only 5 of them survived.
Thank you for pointing out the difference. You do what you have to do to satisfy the most powerful human instinct that is to survive.
They had no choice. It’s sad but they had to do it to survive :/
Nando Parrado protected the bodies of his mom and sister and they were not touched. The group made sure that relatives did not eat the bodies of their kin. One survivor lasted until Day 60 and then passed away. He rejected eating human flesh. When he died he weighed 55 pounds. I’m not sure what I would do.
Before going on the last excursion, since they were running out of bodies and some of them were really weak and sick, Nando asked them to please eat the bodies of his sister and mother if they needed to in order to survive. They promised they would only do so as a last resort.
Actually, the whole group agreed not to eat any of the survivors' relatives:
- Nando's mother and sister
- The Strauch cousins' cousin
- Javier Methol's wife and cousin
Initially, Numa Turcatti did eat human flesh, but around a month later, he hurt his leg, and the wound became septic. As the days went by, he started losing hope of being rescued, more infected wounds invaded his body, and he couldn't put up with eating the dead bodies any more, so his health deteriorated rapidly, and he died on day 61. He wasn't part of the rugby team, like most of the passengers, and barely knew some of them.
Numa Turcatti is the main character in the new film 'Society of the Snow'. The survivors and the families of the deceased say that, unlike 'Alive', this film does portray the real story.
Alive is the better film. No drama will ever top it. Mr. Marshall, Mr. Shanley, and Mr. Howard are collaborative geniuses.
I'm familiar with Numa Turcatti's death spiral. So is everyone who's read Read's book, or any of the various memoirs out there. What is your point? To barge in like an Edgy, Smart Boy every time you think the film has omitted some special detail?

@hightreason7934 That's your opinion about 'Alive', not the survivors'.
They've always said 'Alive' is not real story, so its historical inaccuracy is not debatable to me because they have pointed it out over the last 30 years in the interviews they've given for the Spanish speaking media, they dislike 'Alive' and find the way the facts and characters are depicted disrespectful... WHO ELSE BUT THE SURVIVORS THEMSELVES can say if a film does portray what they really lived in the Andes or not?

Not really. It's a 70s thing.

There is a documentary about Belgian WOII volunteers for the German Eastern Front, and there is mentioned that cannibalism was not rare, on the contrary. The person interviewed stated he ate human flesh himself, and that it tasted very salty. But that was in war time, at a place where all humanity had been gone and forgotten
I'm surprised they actually showed the cutting scene - and it's a lot calmer too, while SOTS made it extremely dramatic.
I disagree with the extremely dramatic part... they just made the audience feel the tense of being in that situation, having that mindset, having to eat ur friends to survive.
They did the right thing to survive
If youre willing to do anything to live, it means you're that fearful of dying.

Starvation is torture
No thanks to the plane, many of us are still.....

As a lapse catholic and seeing this film and the true story behind it, I would say god would forgive them giving the situation they were in. I read recently that there was no animal or even grass in that area, so yeah if I were in their shoes, I would do that too.

There are no rules in a street fight but with life also at stake for survival these people handled it in the most civilized and rational manner.

Can't say I blame them. It was an all around screwed up situation where there was no winning. Sometimes there is no good option, just the least bad one, and eating corpses, as disturing of a prospect as it is, was probably better than a slow and agonizing death to starvation. Also it wasn't a decision made lightly, they only resorted to this when it became absolutely undeniable that there was nothing else they could do.
Yeah, the movie failed to show that they literally tried to eat parts of the plane and their own clothes and getting sick because of it before resorting to eat the bodies
they fell in the heart of the Andes
full mountains with snow, no animals, no birds, no rabbits
But they were already dead. If there's a group of survivors and they kill someone for food that is different
I don’t judge them a single bit for this. I couldn’t even fathom what they were going through. But, this is not a Holy Communion…not by a long shot.
I like that the point is made about cannibalism being a part of human history. Before agriculture and reliable food sources, there must have been hundreds of thousands of years where an emergency would happen and force people to get creative with their meat. Sometimes guaranteeing the survival of your clan is worth the risk of upsetting your ancestors (or catching a brain parasite).
They did what they needed in order to survive. That way, they can honor the ones who did die and share their story.
It was not ‘cannibalism’. The definition of which is humans who have developed a taste for human flesh and kill to eat it. These young men were forced to eat the only edible protein to be found on the mountain into which they crashed. They are all HEROES. Heroes…two of whom walked across an almost vertical snow covered mountain range for miles, in sub zero temperatures, in summer clothes and rugby boots, having survived a plane crash, constant freezing conditions, while recovering from a head injury, coma, the death of friends and relatives, starvation and malnutrition..in order to get help and save others. And some call them cannibals. HEROES. Legends. All of them. Always.
No im pretty sure its still cannibalism cus cannibalism is when you eat your own kind wether you like it or not psychos like jeffery dahmer are proper canibals
It always bothered me how beautiful everything and everyone was in this movie, even the gnarly stuff was done very unconvincingly, and horribly acted. I'm super glad for the survivors and the lost ones who got to have their story told 100% right by JA Bayona and the team behind "The Society of the Snow" in 2023, Masterpiece of a movie and extremely hard to watch, actually made with hispanic actors speaking spanish with their mannerisms and accents, showing the brutality and horrors of each of the 72 days they spent up there.

Probably,a true cannibal person would eat alive humans;they ate already dead ones.

They r the notion of the word "heroes" to me & watching this movie makes me feel closer to the ones I consider faithful & very wise men
When you think about it, there's nothing intrinsically wrong with cannibalism. It's merely intrinsically wrong, due to social norms. In cases of emergency, such as this, it would seem to be the logical thing to do.
LiquidSpiral the psychological impact is likely to be a problem
yes it is
More like the only thing to do.
Amelioration54 you will only die of prion disease if you eat a person with that disease, my dear.

No joke, it's true, although it was more like ten miles. Also, if they had gone East Instead of West they would have come to a road in just a few days.
@@joshchelf7729 in the book its 3 miles .
@@johnphilpot5205 14 miles actually.
@@joshchelf7729 The east direction was filled with rivers they would had to cross and a lot of difficult terrain that might have actually killed them.
@@xxwhispersxx2856 false. I read the book.
What makes this so much worse is the fact that there was an abandoned hotel with food medical supply around 22km away from the crash site. Today with our technology, you could find out in a matter of minutes. Back then the uncertainty made a journey in any direction a high risk endeavour.
Note: The reason I joke is because I realize how serious a situation this is and while I acknowledge the bravery and sacrifice of these people, I - in my comfortable living room - am a little freaked out by this whole thing.
Anyway...
Sweeney Todd, anyone?
I don’t think I could have kept it down, I would have throw up 😢😢
no you wouldn't after 10 days of eating nothing
Luis Suarez was so inspired by this film, that he doesnt wait for people to die before trying to eat them.
This comment made me laugh knowing that Luis Suarez is from Uruguay too.
I remember seeing this movie as a kid but I had no Idea it was based on a true story until a few years ago when I saw a documentary about the actual survivors I also saw the new movie as well
Watch Survive! A Mexican film, this scene is too comedic compared to the other movie. This one sounds like its a day trip. The other film felt like they were struggling to survive
I don't mind eating a human, I am more concerned about whether I'll have a cooking option, raw meat is full of bacteria and parasites...
