I watched a true survival drama 'Society of the Snow' recently and was very impressed with this Netflix movie that has been remade a few times. It is not my favourite type of movie but it appeals to husband M and son K. This article explains it well.
The plane crashed Oct 13 1972 in the Andes Mountains.
Warning there are spoilers ahead:
12 died, 33 survived initially. 27 survivors left a week later. They resorted to cannibalism to stay alive. This movie was not made for the shock value, focussing instead on the human condition. There were 2 avalanches on Oct 29. The survivors said keeping a sense of humour was invaluable. When the weather began to thaw 2 of the survivors hiked a gruelling 38 miles for 10 days until they found a travelling horseman. They were rescued Dec 22 and 23. There were 14 survivors still alive today and are in their 70's and 80's.
Is this something you would watch?
When I have watched this movie about people who survived plane crash ,I didn’t know it had such story within
ReplyDeleteI saw it on HBO many years back and remember I felt shocked for few days
Sim Christine assisti o filme aqui no Brasil o nome do filme foi Vivos, desejo uma ótima semana bjs.
ReplyDeleteI remember the story and probably would not watch it. It truly is amazing what one will do when survival instincts kick in.
ReplyDeleteI watch according to my mood. I'm in a scifi mood. After watching seasons of The Flash , i went on to seasons of Smallville [ the making of Superman]
ReplyDeleteHAPPY MONDAY

That's not my type of movie, Christine, but your story about it is fascinating. How powerful is the human will to survive!
ReplyDeleteProbably not! Although Joe is addicted to Mayday programs, despite having working in the airline industry!

ReplyDeleteThe story sounds really interesting.
Not sure if I could watch it. I've been watching Homicide New York which has been pretty interesting :-D
ReplyDeleteChristine, it reminds me of a documentary I saw on the Donner Party and how they finally resorted to canibalism. So very sad. I agree those movies are hard to watch, and the scenes stay with you. I don't think we realize how hard that must have been.
ReplyDeleteI read about that years ago. I would skip the movie.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds a little too intense for me. I like escapism:)
ReplyDeleteI saw that film and I can't believe what those people had to endure and how they endured. But I suppose we would all do that if we had to. Maybe.
ReplyDeleteIt does sound like an interesting show. & so suspenseful, too.
ReplyDeleteNo I do not think I would. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if I would watch it...
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I will give that one a try.
ReplyDeleteWe rotate services and Netflix is not on the docket for awhile. Had it, got rid of it. So not an option for us at the the moment. We're currently enjoying Fallout on Amazon.
ReplyDeleteWow. This sounds terribly agonizing-God bless those people.
