Oh I love the ending scene...breathtaking. The movie always make me think about the important values in our lives. Family, confidence and friends, as Nando said. I'd like to read his book some time.
Everyone must see the documentary "Viven! El Accidente de los Andes". right here on Youtube. Absolutely breathtaking!!!! It's sad and beatifull at the same time.
The ending was drawn to be a more dramatic scene, but in reality they heard Canessa and Nando reached help. They got ready by combing their hair, dressing up in their best clothes and some even shaved. When rescuers found them, considering they were weak and almost to the point of falling over of exhaustion, they appeared very courteous and gathered.
I liked the words "if we are going to die, we are going to die standing"......very positive, profound words......made me loathe negativity and bow down to positivity. And as for Ave Maria, I cried buckets at Aaron Neville's rendition. What a very deeply moving portrayal of the agony, the despair, the cold, the starvation and the decision fo have to eat a friend to survive. I wonder how many of us could do that but understand in these circumstances....thanks for posting.
White teeth? Most of them lost their teeth, the actors didnt look convincingly to me at all! They look like in a typical american movie with the unreal heroes I'm disappointed...
Dude shut up. >.> obviously the survivor that was actually ON THE SET while they directed and also created part of the setting didn't mind, so why should you? =.=
@konczita82 humm...also for the most of part they had their faces covered up with clothes all times...but what a choice for the director if he wanted to show the actors in such a bad shape? I think it was best to show them decently.. we can imagine how bad it was...anyhow..a great movie with a story that will continue to inspire for decades
The shot where the 2 Hueys pop up over the ridge is one of the more dramatic ones I can think of..it somehow captures the shock the survivors must have felt when they realized they were finally going home. Amazingly well done.
I am wondering if Parrado and Canessa had got lost and died up there, what would have been the next step for the other fourteen. Would they have started killing the weakest to get something to eat or would they have died of starvation to the last after the food supplies are gone. Then none of us would have known. How many times in history things like that happened whitout anyone knowing?
Put this part of the movie"Alive" in silence and put a Bon Jovi's song"Dry county" listen it and see the movie at the same time...it's makes the moment even more incredible... :)
They walked for nine days, they were almost starved, and in the most extreme conditions, and they made it. That, and everything that came before it, is truly extraordinary, and truly inspiaring.
the part where nando in the helicopter holds up the shoe, while eduardo does the same always makes me cry. " when these are a pair again whe're gonna be going home." - Nando Paraldo
@labelars and it wasn't an hollywood script, that story did happen. that part that part of the film is actual and true to the real story , the darkness of an andes mountain and trust brought those shoes complete for hope and trust. shoes completed with final trust and hope and final freedom when they set from the point of no return. there friends breeched the andes. an powerful deed
The real-life incident was inspirational, powerful and amazing. This film, however, which is the actual object of all your laudations, was rather drab. The constant pushing of a religious message took a great deal of the humanity out of it-let alone the sledge-hammer directing, westernised acting and sentimentalism and the lack of realism to the whole thing. The reality was humanising, the film and, it seems, its audience, wasn't.
@Conquestidore If you want to be a film critic, perhaps you should take some ques from professionals who get paid to do it. While they might degrade a film, they do not attack film goers who happen to enjoy it. If people want to enjoy or give it "laudations", let them.
One day you may be seeking for some kindness yourself but you won't find it. and oh!!! this wasn't just a good movie, it was a group of survivors who banded together caring for another fellowman more than themselves Does God exist! well if you want to believe that you came out of monkeys you can, and you probably did, as your acting like a bunch of animals...but I know He exists....not just choose to believe...
I wonder if anyone could give an opinion without the filthy language, or goading people and being offensive because you get a kick out of it, why is the world full of so much grief, unfairness, ugliness and hatred? because you live in it, and because we have made the choices for it to go this way, so wake up and look beyond yourself, you may have a pleasant surprise, and actually find out your human instead of being so hardened and insensitive.
Its sad that we were given a gift to look after, and make wise choices in it. We stuff it up and then ask why God didn't stop it. He loved us so much, but He didn't want robots as His children, but so many of your comments spells out your own immaturity, and speaks of why we live in a world such as it is..after all you live in it.
Even in a tragedy like this, people still believe in a "loving god" who was right there, looking after everyone. Does the human capacity for delusion have no limits? How can it be rational to believe that "god" saved 16, when 29 died? How does a Christian answer this? "Jesus wanted the 29 to be with him in heaven" or "We cannot understand the mind of God" or "It was the devil who made the plane crash". These answers are all irrational, and surely cannot satisfy anyone who is interested in truth.
I can't believe they didin't include the part when they fing the sheperd. Oh, and if god saved them, I wonder, why didin't he save the other 29 as well? I think god did a pretty fucking bad job.
I have just read the book, and I am irked by the comments here which credit "god" with saving 16, OUT OF 45, of the passengers. I wonder how this opinion makes Nando Parrado feel. It was his, aided by Roberto Canessa, magnificent achievement which saved them, driven by his love for his father. A good "god" could have blessed the rescue mission, stopped the avalanche,or done anything else you can think of. Why would he have them having to eat the corpses of other passengers?
@cherryhuai but if you think about the people who died, and if you watch the rreaal documentary , leaving that place after 72 days of staying and basically living there, its quite hard to leave.
Just wondering but why is the snow so dirty when they are rescued? Is it because they went washroom in it or something? and If they did why so close to their campsite?
they was strong. its very amazing how long they survived about 70 days!! is so amazing :)) god helped them, they are peaceful and they was very happy :D But is very sad 29 people died! but only they survived about 16 people :) God bless them all :)))))))))))
I'm very happy they made it but. I feel bad for the pilots body because I just watched this on the ''I'm alive'' show and the pilot was very ashamed of what he had done and killed him self. Then he didn't even tell them that they could eat him but they did. And in other thoughts you would have no choice, like I would eat the pilot if he was there. And Nando was very nice and told them if he didn't make it back they cold eat his sister and mother. I mean he didn't have to say that.
in these days a legend is someone like wayne rooney a way over paid under achivinng so called legand/hero.but a hero should be known for someone like nando because he is what saved the lives of 16 others climbed mountains for 12 days im terriable conditons that people with with all the right gear warm food could die doing what him an roberto bravely done .yet someone like rooney has a score a goal and he is a legend ... not to me nando parrado is my legend <3
You know it would have been kinda nice if the movie showed the families side of the story at some points, and when they got reunited with there family, Paez Vilaro was such a huge influence on the search, the ending was just too sudden.
actually, a body's caloric needs are astronomical at such an altitude. here at sea level, it takes about 1000 to 2000 calories a day to maintain a healthy weight, but in those mountains, it takes 15,000 at least to maintain weight and gallons upon gallons of water. they couldnt have lasted seventy two days on chocolate and wine, let alone climb a mountain on it. they mostly needed the nutrients from the bodies...just so you know...
dwasil, I am glad!! .. you can try reading "The snow society" (Pablo Vierci). The writer is one of the survivors ´close friends (apart from being a popular writer). He interviewed the 16 of them and made an excellent book, worth reading! (the last book of the subject)
this movie is so great,,BE thankful to GOD more and more...and instead praying to mary,we must pray to JESUS,because it is stated that the only way to the FATHER is only through Jesus,and no one else...
What about appreciating what human beings can achieve? and forget about belief systems... "Miracle in the Andes" (nando parrado) is awesome... lots of more details written by one of the two guys who bridged the Andes...

Love the chirpy, dance-y music at 6:01 "Lalalala people died and lallala it was really awful lalalalaa and maybe they had to eat loved ones lalalalaa..."
I love when Eduardo waves the shoe in the air. I can't even imagine the feelings they must have felt when the saw the helicopters. I can't imagine the joy. It was truly a miracle. It was definitely God. He is the maker of miracles.
@Massimo1GK I dont know if your comment is sarcastic or not but put "Touching the Void" into the youtube search engine and watch and enjoy one of the best survival movies of all time. This is raw and real not a bunch of preening male models whining after god.
@vohshkab No my friend,I wasn't sarcastic at all. I agreed 100% with what you said cause I think in the same way. I'm surely gonna look for that movie,thank you for it
@vohshkab I feel really sorry for people like you. Nice mouth by the way and you aren't too racist. You will find one day when it's too late that you are wrong about there not being a god. Why don't you educate yourself about God. How do you think the world was created? It didn't get her by itself. God is the creator of all things even people like you. Be glad for what you have and remember that God is the reason. God played a big part in the Miracle of the Andes.
@nikkidanielle1969 Good for you and good luck. You just carry on praying and see where that gets you. It might make you feel good inside just like believing in Father Christmas but I have news for you it aint real. What saved these people was not prayer but getting off their arses and taking practical steps looking for help not looking for god and it was a rescue helicopter and not, surprise surprise, Jesus that saved them. Oh and pardon my language.
@vohshkab Clearly you know nothing of God or religion. Praying and believing in God gave them the strength to as you say "get off their arses and taking practical steps looking for help." They were all Roman Catholic so they all believed in God. Don't bash other people religion just because you don't have one.
@vohshkab you say that these people are primitive yet all you do is disciminate with foul hillbillie language sorry but FUCK YOU and anyone who belives the same people can belive what they want without having to be bithed upon by some thick twat who thinks he is always right CUNT.
@YippieKiYay101 .. i am with you all the way!! these people just dont know when to shut their mouths and i said a couple of swears but her they were for god right?
@vohshkab okay first of all i believe in god and only one,yes i am not totally comited to my religion but there are many stories i can tell you that let people know there is a god and only one.and if you are so against god why would you even watch or comment on this video. no one really cares what you have to say about your dislikes in peoples religion. so you can go get you nose out of satins ass and shut the annoying hole under your nose........ like i said im not totally commited (im catholic
@vohshkab This isn't about there being a god or not or the survivors believing in a god or not. It's about human passion, the need and profound desire to survive, and this movie is a dedication to those people who did the absolute unthinkable and impossible to get back home. It may not be the best movie you've ever seen, but it isn't supposed to be. It's supposed to allow its viewers to comprehend a bit better what these survivors went through. Have some respect for them.
@Agnesanonymous My comments are aimed at the way this story has been sugar coated with constant references to god by male models. The reality of having to do what they did to survive and the risks they took has been hijacked by a cynical hollywood producer. If you want to watch a survival film then watch Touching the Void which gives a more meaningful expression to the power of the human spirit and imagine how good this could have been. The book may be better I haven't read it.
@vohshkab Well I´m uruguayan And I know a lot of this story, and You should know your opinion is not shared by the protagonists of the story. They were all catholic and they acknowledged that catholic discipline and humanistic education they received in their irish catholic school was decisive. Heck, they even explained that they thought about Jesus words during the last Supper when they decided to eat the flesh of their dead friends.
@Agnesanonymous If anything there was no god with them, most of them died. This story proves that there is no god, but it proves that the human spirit is strong in some of us. I love this movie, but god had nothing to do with them being saved.
If Disney made "Touching the Void" it would look like this film. BTW all you people going on about God being there - which God exactly? And where was God for those dead people who got eaten. I'm with FanaticmusicMatt god had nothing to do with it - it was the human protein moulded by DNA that saved them.
@vohshkab I disagree. God played a part. Having faith is what got them through. I saw a documentary where Daniel Fernandez said that they people who had given up and lost their faith died.
@nikkidanielle1969 I agree with you that God was there but I disagree with you that the people died because they gave up faith. I'm pretty sure the people who died in the avalanch still had their faith as well as the people who died of injuries and illness I mean there is only a certian amount of time you can live like that even with faith or not.
@DanteLacey21 I couldn't agree more. I feel sorry for people who don't know God. They have such hardened hearts and they have been so misled. People who don't know God will be sorry one day and for a lot of them it will be too late. I know I'm going to heaven. I would never want to go where they are going.
@nikkidanielle1969 I couldn't agree more. I feel sorry for people who don't know God either. They must be very sad, bitter, and unhappy people. I couldn't imagine not believing in God. I have hard a very hard life and I couldn't have gotten through it without my faith in God. I know I'm going to heaven when I die. I wouldn't want to go where the non-believers are going. By the time they realize they were wrong it will be too late for them to be saved.
@nikkidanielle1969 ... i can tell you are a very passionate person twords your religion and i am with you all the way on this.. you can tell that those people especiualy that one is sad and does not have a life. i hope that he will find god someday and understand that he can be saved.
@nikkidanielle1969 No offence but just because you believe in God is not guarantee that you are going to Heaven anything can happen in the future. No one ever knows where they are going until that very day comes.
@DanteLacey21 I love the tension I caused. Good movie, your opinion sucks but thats the freedom of speech asshole. Your a weak minded individual if you believe in something you cant see, hear, touch, taste, or fuck.
@FanaticmusicMatt your attitude is so sad. We would be nothing without God. How do you think our world was created and why there's a you and a me. It's not by magic. God is the creator of all things. I feel sorry for people who don't know him because they won't be granted eternal life. At least I know where I'm going when I die and it sure beats where you will be going if you don't change your attitude. God loves his children and wants the best for all of us. Without God you wouldn't be here.
@nikkidanielle1969 Our world was created by a tiny amount of matter which then exploded and created an infinite amount of planets, comets, stars and a whole lot of other crap. You see the scientific theory makes alot more sense.
@NorthernerMatty123 .. aww poor child doesnt know science but thats a good try. even if the earth was created by oxegen,carbon, microscophic reticular cells. where did those come from, no one knows. so i think god just helped us create a home, you should be thankful with out him you wouldnt have that annoying mouh that never seems to shutup when it needs to....
@10exodus thats a real nice thing to say you hypocrite, the experience those people had to go through and you say something disgusting like that! you should pray to you "god' everyday for you not being there because wouldn't have made it three days you weak minded fool
@thisfiendis138 . cdclagett said "god was with them". yet 29 people died. hence, cdclagett must think god was not with those 29. you are just looking for an argument aren't you, weak minded fool.. and no, i have never prayed to any god

I'm very happy they made it but. I feel bad for the pilots body because I just watched this on the ''I'm alive'' show and the pilot was very ashamed of what he had done and killed him self. Then he didn't even tell them that they could eat him but they did. And in other thoughts you would have no choice, like I would eat the pilot if he was there. And Nando was very nice and told them if he didn't make it back they cold eat his sister and mother. I mean he didn't have to say that.

in these days a legend is someone like wayne rooney a way over paid under achivinng so called legand/hero.but a hero should be known for someone like nando because he is what saved the lives of 16 others climbed mountains for 12 days im terriable conditons that people with with all the right gear warm food could die doing what him an roberto bravely done .yet someone like rooney has a score a goal and he is a legend ... not to me nando parrado is my legend <3

You know it would have been kinda nice if the movie showed the families side of the story at some points, and when they got reunited with there family, Paez Vilaro was such a huge influence on the search, the ending was just too sudden.

actually, a body's caloric needs are astronomical at such an altitude. here at sea level, it takes about 1000 to 2000 calories a day to maintain a healthy weight, but in those mountains, it takes 15,000 at least to maintain weight and gallons upon gallons of water. they couldnt have lasted seventy two days on chocolate and wine, let alone climb a mountain on it. they mostly needed the nutrients from the bodies...just so you know...

dwasil, I am glad!! .. you can try reading "The snow society" (Pablo Vierci). The writer is one of the survivors ´close friends (apart from being a popular writer). He interviewed the 16 of them and made an excellent book, worth reading! (the last book of the subject)

@vohshkab I feel really sorry for people like you. Nice mouth by the way and you aren't too racist. You will find one day when it's too late that you are wrong about there not being a god. Why don't you educate yourself about God. How do you think the world was created? It didn't get her by itself. God is the creator of all things even people like you. Be glad for what you have and remember that God is the reason. God played a big part in the Miracle of the Andes.

@nikkidanielle1969 Good for you and good luck. You just carry on praying and see where that gets you. It might make you feel good inside just like believing in Father Christmas but I have news for you it aint real. What saved these people was not prayer but getting off their arses and taking practical steps looking for help not looking for god and it was a rescue helicopter and not, surprise surprise, Jesus that saved them. Oh and pardon my language.
vohshkab 1 year ago
@vohshkab Clearly you know nothing of God or religion. Praying and believing in God gave them the strength to as you say "get off their arses and taking practical steps looking for help." They were all Roman Catholic so they all believed in God. Don't bash other people religion just because you don't have one.

@vohshkab This isn't about there being a god or not or the survivors believing in a god or not. It's about human passion, the need and profound desire to survive, and this movie is a dedication to those people who did the absolute unthinkable and impossible to get back home. It may not be the best movie you've ever seen, but it isn't supposed to be. It's supposed to allow its viewers to comprehend a bit better what these survivors went through. Have some respect for them.
Agnesanonymous 11 months ago
@Agnesanonymous My comments are aimed at the way this story has been sugar coated with constant references to god by male models. The reality of having to do what they did to survive and the risks they took has been hijacked by a cynical hollywood producer. If you want to watch a survival film then watch Touching the Void which gives a more meaningful expression to the power of the human spirit and imagine how good this could have been. The book may be better I haven't read it.

@vohshkab Well I´m uruguayan And I know a lot of this story, and You should know your opinion is not shared by the protagonists of the story. They were all catholic and they acknowledged that catholic discipline and humanistic education they received in their irish catholic school was decisive. Heck, they even explained that they thought about Jesus words during the last Supper when they decided to eat the flesh of their dead friends.

@Agnesanonymous If anything there was no god with them, most of them died. This story proves that there is no god, but it proves that the human spirit is strong in some of us. I love this movie, but god had nothing to do with them being saved.

If Disney made "Touching the Void" it would look like this film. BTW all you people going on about God being there - which God exactly? And where was God for those dead people who got eaten. I'm with FanaticmusicMatt god had nothing to do with it - it was the human protein moulded by DNA that saved them.
vohshkab 1 year ago
@vohshkab I disagree. God played a part. Having faith is what got them through. I saw a documentary where Daniel Fernandez said that they people who had given up and lost their faith died.
nikkidanielle1969 1 year ago
@nikkidanielle1969 I agree with you that God was there but I disagree with you that the people died because they gave up faith. I'm pretty sure the people who died in the avalanch still had their faith as well as the people who died of injuries and illness I mean there is only a certian amount of time you can live like that even with faith or not.

@FanaticmusicMatt your attitude is so sad. We would be nothing without God. How do you think our world was created and why there's a you and a me. It's not by magic. God is the creator of all things. I feel sorry for people who don't know him because they won't be granted eternal life. At least I know where I'm going when I die and it sure beats where you will be going if you don't change your attitude. God loves his children and wants the best for all of us. Without God you wouldn't be here.
