Alive: The Miracle Of The Andes, 1993, Ending scene ave maria

[stradlin62]

best version EVER!!!!!! Wonderful movie for one of the worst targedy ever

[Jigsaw3477]

This and Harry Connick Jr's versions are the best, with the slight edge to Aaron Neville. So much emotion behind it. None of the BS that newer singers add to beautiful songs.

[jfallon34689]

This song will make ou believe that i will see my father and if i have a son I will see him im sure of it trust i promise u its real and in the words of Forest Gump "thats all I have to say about that" 10 4 over and out

[calltipv2]

Hopefully atheist don't learn that there's a cross on top of a mountain. They will want it removed.

[thenoobfactor]

@calltipv2 no, we honestly dont give a shit until you try to ram it down our throats.

[calltipv2]

@thenoobfactor You're funny.

[area51er6]

I don't think this is the actual crash site in the andes, i believe its the rockys in north america where they filmed the movie.

[Calnickel]

@area51er6 Yes. This is Mt Delphine and Dephine Glacier in the Purcell Mountains in BC. I have flown by this cross thousands of times...

[LIVEREALFOOLED]

probably the first empathy i shared with life was this end sequence

[Jigsaw3477]

@LIVEREALFOOLED This and the movie "Glory" did it for me.

[frekijsimpson]

I was there

[GIROBOTII]

What is the song about? :) What is being sung, if anyone can translate? It is lovely.

[pattydutraferrera]

Caraca!É o momento que mais choro no filme...

[parkour720]

hitman

[efcstoo]

Connie Francis's version is the best version I've ever heard. Try and listen to it.

[cedrickcooper]

THE HUMAN BODY KNOWS ONE WORD IN TIME OF DESPERATION "SURVIVAL" IT WILL DO WHATEVER IT HAS TO IN ORDER TO SURVIVE. IT'S CALLED HUMAN INSTINCT. THE SIMPLE FACT THESE MEN SURVIVED PROVE THEIR IS A "GOD" CAN YOU POSSIBLY IMAGINE THE MENTAL TURMOIL THESE MEN HAD TO SUFFER? DONT FORGET....OTHERS HAD TO DIE IN ORDER TO FEED THE MEN WHO SURVIVED....DON'T EVER QUESTION GOD!!!!!! EVER!!!!!!!! I AM PRETTY SURE, NOT ONE MAN STANDING CURSED GOD WHEN THEY SAW THAT HELICOPTER COMING OVER THE MOUNTAIN!!!!!!!

[NorthernerMatty123]

@cedrickcooper If God exists why does he let terrible things like the holocaust and slavery happen?

[jpkckn]

@cedrickcooper god didnt climb these mountains, THEY did.

[nicorudoll666]

@jpkckn they didnt climb the mountain either it was...CHUCK NORRIS!!!

[majorisore]

@nicorudoll666 Chucks so hard he went into Burger King and asked for a Big Mac.. AND GOT IT!

[lordcrumb07]

the ending for Alive always brings tear to my eye. the chopper coming over the top of the moutain and the guy holding up the little shoe...

[ImSpartacus1314]

It`s a shame they didn`t have any Ketchup or mayo ...

[taewoo85]

@ImSpartacus1314 lol mate ur so funny.

[ImSpartacus1314]

@taewoo85 Tortaise gets mugged and raped by a snail - Tortaise can`t give a description to the police because he said it happened to fast ....

[Fucklesticks]

@ImSpartacus1314 They did have dental paste though, who knows, maybe it goes well with human flesh

[asutn]

This movie actually change the way I look at my life. It challenged me to take on a journey that I started to cherish the things around me, like my family, the people who loved me and everything else. Thank you for sharing this. Movies like this got overlooked in today's money and result driven showbiz.

[triniprince8993]

Simply beautiful

[p9221066]

Anyone know what has become of these survivors?  Just curious how they coped after a life changing event such as this.

[JohnMacDonald1]

@p9221066 they are now mostly still living in Argentina and other parts of South America and have families. I saw a documentary a few weeks ago interviewing them all and they all seem fine. I'm sure there are mental scars but thats expected.

[brunogaiero]

John, I don't know why they would live in Argentina since they have no relationship with that country. Bear in mind that they are from Uruguay. By the way, Aaron Neville's Ave María is oustanding..

[EmpireLS56KW]

I find the image passing over the iron cross on the mountain with Ava Maria playing haunting as well as spiritual.

I saw Alive in Dolby stereo SR-D at the Empire Leicester Square screen 1 London on May 5th 1993 ticket price was £4.00 for the original 13KW JBL THX sound system experience.

[aneneifeanyi]

@Izzykatherine. I absolutely believe in God. What i meant was that i do not want to believe God will be in support of people eating their own kind to survive. What else would humans not do to survive if that was deemed acceptable. Would you eat your kind to survive Izzy?

[GESSO217]

@aneneifeanyi, Desperate Times call for Desperate action. I don't think any of the survivors willingly ate the flesh of the dead, there was no other choice. Besides, The people they ate were already dead. Their souls had passed on, so where's the harm? If they had first Murdered them and then ate their flesh then that's a different story.

[BurnRoddy]

Would you commit suicide by going away and letting yourelf die? Keep in mind as long as your there you'll be eating their food but if you die before some of them your body can preserve the life of those who are still alive a little longer while if you go away and die alone you'll just die and you would've not helped anyone.

From my point of view it takes as much balls to stay than it takes to leave, its a matter of being willing to do what is best for you and the others.

[aneneifeanyi]

Well everybody has their opinions and they are entitled to it. Niteseeker, you may be right but that is your own opinion. I still maintain my stand. I wouldn't have done what they did. I'd rather die. How would i be able to look at another human being and not remember the horror of what i did. I just wouldn't be able to live. And it is even being called a miracle. I wouldn't wanna believe God had a hand in people eating their own kind to survive.

[izzykatherine]

how could you not believe in God after watching this movie? After we die, our souls become detatched from our body and either go to heaven or hell....nevertheless...they did what they had to survive.

[funkmasterjee]

@izzykatherine If God was real the plane would not have crashed and killed 29 people.

You see it depends how you look at it

[lennyss]

@izzykatherine There's no proof of god nor souls heaven or hell existence (all fairytales). This is just plain human fear to the only fact, we all gonna die and vanish and cuz of this only fact that we are aware will vanish, we need a god to belive we continue somehow in "afterlife"... This movie is about human strong will, survival and fight for all we've got, our very life.

[hoobie06]

@lennyss it is a fact that there is no afterlife? i'm not promoting either side, but the only fact is that we don't know if there is an afterlife. i'm fine with you not believing that there is an afterlife, but how can you prove that there isn't? there is no fact that god created the universe, but it is not fact that the big bang THEORY happened and god was not involved either. again i'm not promoting anything other than we don't really know what happens. there could be an afterlife

[StonkerBuckshot]

@izzykatherine I don't understand how a film about desperate people eating eating each other proves the exsistance of a god? Surely he wouldn't have let the plane crash and then let them eat each other. Why didn't he pick the plane up with his big goddy hand and land them safely? Putting some nice music at the end of the movie isn't going to make me a believer.

[majorisore]

@izzykatherine Your God just forced 'his servants' to eat his/her family and friends to survive. HEY BIG G THANKS for giving me the 'option' to eat my buddies!! I'm still going to heaven right?..... Great music tho.

[vansbrand]

@izzykatherine God is evil.

[majorisore]

@izzykatherine Can you please get ur pal God to come down to Australia, we will put on a show and everything. PLZ! I'm from the UK, does my gesture give me extra points to into heaven??

[majorisore]

@Rwings73 How Ironic. You call UK people 'Pussy Ass Cowards' but your picture is of the Stig. A character from an original UK BBC program called Top Gear. So by imitating The Stig (who is from the UK) your calling yourself the US version of a pussy ass coward? Are you THICK IN THE HEAD MATE? Here's something you will understand. DOH! Thanks for the chuckles you double digit moron legend!! This will be forwarded to everyone i know. F'ing Classic!

[majorisore]

@Rwings73 what were you finally strung together before it got removed Mr 'pussy ass coward' Doh!?

[Rwings73]

@majorisore Doh! Doh! Doh! You are a simpleton. Doh! 

[majorisore]

@Rwings73 Just out of ? what was the ironic UK stuff all about?

[Rwings73]

@majorisore Ironic UK stuff? You haven't a clue do you.

[majorisore]

@Rwings73 Urrgh... your back again. Thought you stopped making an arse of yourself in public. Obviously not.

[niteseeker545]

I dont think they actually wanted to do it ya know!.. It was just survival instinct.. U cudnt say that until u were actually put in that situation either!. For instance if u had children to get back to u wudnt lay down and die wud u?.

[aneneifeanyi]

I still do not thunk they did the right thing to eat their own kind. it is just wrong. I'd rather die than live knowing i ate another human's flesh to survive. It is just so crazy. Too bad.

[niteseeker545]

I do think they actually wanted to do it ya know!.. It was just survival instinct.. U cudnt say that until u were actually put in that situation either!. For instance if u had children to get back to u wudnt lay down and die wud u?.

[MegaWill1981]

This song just sets the tone for the whole movie and story experience...... This song gives me goosebumps everytime i hear it. A brilliant choice by the directors. And not forgetting the singer...pure class.

[MegaWill1981]

killerkid. BASTARD! I'd like to cu up there and survive....if u don't respect this story-fuck off!!!!

[Killerkid282]

how could they live with the SHAME!

[MegaWill1981]

U complete retard. It took them so long to decide to do what they did....if they didn't they'd all of died. Please keep ur lame responses to ur self. In fact don't comment at all on things u don't understand or have any feelings for

[Killerkid282]

i'd rather die than eating my own teammates and living with that FACT!

[MegaWill1981]

then die then and bugger of from this prt of youtube ur not wanted here on this site. u sick minded delinquint

[Killerkid282]

nobody can stop me from being here and did u eat all your own friends as well cannibal?

[GoGetter18]

[Killerkid282]

nah, now can someone pass me a piece of the co-pilot?

[zakko86]

THE AVE MARIA of Shubert

[cyclol]

This is the best version of Ave Maria that I have heard. The way Aaron Neville articulates his note changes is amazing. No one else has a voice so much like an instrument.

[itsame32]

agreed, its the best

[enigmaflex]

@cyclol. thank u so much for mentioning the singer. I have been trying to find this version of ave maria for ages

[Me6is]

very low bad sound

[marioskitchen]

Movies like these make us realize just how special human life really is.

[MajorHoward7]

I cried at the end

[youtert]

Law and Order: Andes

[keliata]

Aaron Neville sings Ave Maria at the end of the film Alive. A beautiful rendition.

[MolokoPlus1980]

Sorry, that should have read: 'Ave Maria'.

[speckhard2]

amazing wish i knew who this song was by

[MolokoPlus1980]

Thanks for uploading this. Five stars.

Speckhard2, this version of 'Ava Maria' was performed by Aaron Neville.
