Just a heads up this is an intense one! You have been warned. This film is supposed to be based on a true story and the details are insane!!! We've received this recommendation from a few folks online and from my mother as well. I typically say I hope ya'll enjoy but that sounds kind of inappropriate given the subject matter...

I watched this last night on discord with you guys. This movie was emotionally exhausting.

Some facts that wasn’t included or changed in the film: - Numa didn’t hurt his leg that way, one of the survivors said in his book that at night someone stepped on numa's foot and hurt his leg which lead to him getting infected (they don’t know who stepped on him because it was so dark). - The guy who reads the names at the end says "Carlitos Miguel Paez, my son". He's Carlitos himself. He played his own father, who was a famous Uruguayan artist. - Carlitos said that the reason they survived was because they worked together and trusted each other, he also said no one complained during the time they were at the mountains. No one was allowed to complain because technically they were all in the same position. - They pranked each other quite a lot during their time at the mountains, Fito made some of the survivors believe that another avalanche was coming a few days before their rescue. Some joked about their situation and the meat especially Carlitos. - Carlitos also said that although no one fought during their time in the mountains, there was some tension between a few of them because some would be just doing nothing to help and the others had to do most of work around. - nearly all of the survivors were regularly taking flights right after this (I think Bobby Francois was one of the only ones who refused to do it). In fact, Nando and Roberto went to the US by plane just a year after to promote a book about this story and Roberto writes in his own biography that during these flights Nando would constantly poke at him and ask if they should “get ready, just in case” - They weren’t rescued on the same day, some were rescued first and the rest were rescued the next day because the helicopter couldn’t hold that much weight. - what kept the real numa alive was that he really wanted to help, so when the others told him that he couldn’t help anymore he became depressed and due to infection also stopped eating because he had no appetite. he then died weighing 25 kg (55 pounds). - Nando Parrado was able to remember where they were because he kept looking back every time he walked further away from the fuselage so kept remembering everything surrounding them. - Enzo Vogorincic who plays Numa Turcatti the narrator, was allowed access to the real Numa's home. Enzo was able to see Numa's bedroom and touch some of his belongings as he prepared for the role. The other actors were also granted special access to their counterpart's lives and homes. - Filming locations were in the Sierra Sierra Nevada, Granada, Andalucía, Spain. JA Bayona did go up to the Valley of Tears where the crash site is and filmed various things to be used as backdrops for the film. The sound engineer also recorded the wind and some of the sounds from the valley. Many of the actors also went up to the real crash site.

Now I am going to copy and paste something I saw in another YouTube reaction detailing what the survivors are doing now: Of the survivors there are only 14 left of the 16. Two have passed, they are Javier Methol (the older gentleman whose wife died in the avalanche) passed in 2015, and Coche Inciarte (one of the rugby players who passed 2022). Nando Parrado (the man whose mother and sister died and one of the ones who walked out and who wrote "Miracle of the Andes") became a Formula 1 racer a bit after the crash and is now an entrepreneur who runs several businesses and who is a motivational speaker. Roberto Canessa (the other who walked out with Nando and was the 2nd year med student) is now a world renown pediatric cardiologist who operates on fetuses in-utero. He has also written a book titled, "I Had to Survive." Eduardo Strauch (one of the men who cut the meat) is now a painter and motivational speaker. He also is the guide in a yearly trek that adventurers make up to the crash site. He says he still hears his brothers speaking to him from up on the mountain. Many of the others became successful businessmen and others returns to the rugby club including Gustavo Zerbino (the other med student who helped Roberto). Javier Methol went on to marry again, and have four more children. He never forgot his love for his Liliana. When he died his ashes were split and half were buried in a cemetery in Montevideo. The other half were taken back up to the mountain and scattered over the crash site. The same with Coche.

There was another movie made about this over 20 years ago. I don’t remember the name of the film. I will have to agree that definitely under normal circumstances I absolutely would not condone eating another person. However I have heard of some people in a survival situation being so starved, their own limbs start to look appetizing. So if I found myself in that desperate of a situation and I wanted to live, I don’t know what I would or would not do. I might be a vegan for a long time after and make all efforts to make it right. So with all that said, looking at that act in a normal circumstance is one of the most vile things a human being can do, in this situation I definitely think the survivors can be forgiven and make peace with it.
