Another movie about the struggle for survival, but this time it is based on real life and faithfully portrays the events on the screen as told by those who lived through them.
Society of the Snow is about the crash of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 in the Andes Mountains in 1972 to take a rugby team to Chile, and how the survivors suddenly find themselves in a struggle for survival.
The fact that the story is taken from real life will increase the tendency to watch it, and the fact that it involves the struggle for life in harsh natural conditions makes the viewing time more enjoyable, while triggering the sense of curiosity more than enough was the most important plus.
The images of the characters starting the journey and saying goodbye before the accident, which we see in almost all of such stories, are highly detailed. This obviously removes the mystery of the story. It gives the feeling that the rugby team is being sent off on its last journey and that both the people who send them off and the people on the journey know about the accident beforehand.
Every scene, from the moment of the accident to the moment of survival, was heartbreaking. The difficult circumstances of the characters are reflected on the screen in the best possible way. So much so that I can give an example. You feel the cold and hunger as much as possible.
The only thing I had a hard time making sense of during the movie Society of the Snow was that they didn't light a fire even though they had a lighter. I think the fact that they had to live in the Andes for more than 2 months in weather conditions that were well below freezing at night and almost never lit a fire overshadowed the reality of the story at some point.
I liked the movie very much in terms of acting and visuals, and I can say that I found it very impressive in terms of being a book with the narratives of the survivors of the accident that guided the story. Until I watched the movie, I was not aware of such an accident and what the survivors did to survive. I must admit that I learned the history of the accident from the movie.
If I told you at the very beginning of the movie or at the very beginning of the article that the survivors of the accident hold on to life by eating the dead; would I watch the movie or, assuming that I did, would you read the article? I would probably find the movie absurd and would not watch it, and this article would not follow a movie I did not watch.
From the moment the accident happened to the moment the survivors were rescued; I can understand that everything is due to the difficulty encountered. I cannot predict how I can make a decision without being in a similar situation and difficulty. I cannot say that if I were there, I would or would not do what they did. While it is a difficult situation even to describe, I am sure that the difficulty of living is tons of weight.
The entire cast perfectly captures both the hardships of the environment and the difficulty of eating the flesh of the dead. Usually the narrator of such stories is a survivor, but throughout Society of the Snow Numa Turcatti (played by Enzo Vogrincic) does an impressive job of presenting the story. His words when he announces his own death are the most valuable scenes of the movie.
What added the most value to the movie were the moments when all the surviving characters expressed their regret and despair at the highest level. Did they really hold on to life tighter when they were rescued, or did they completely turn away from life because of what had happened? This was only hidden in the answers they could give in their ongoing lives.
As someone who watched the movie carefully and did not blame any of the survivors, I was most curious about the thoughts of the relatives of those who died immediately after the accident and who provided the food that kept the survivors alive.
I recommend you to watch Society of the Snow, a movie that raises dilemmas from many points of view, but which I find very successful. Since what you will see is completely true, your mind may be open to questioning.
