talk too cute Kreuser here and in today's video I'm going to talk about the snow society the new film premiered this Thursday the 4th on Netflix and this video here is to talk in detail what I thought of the film because I think it's a very powerful story I'm still in shock with everything I watched, the way it was worked, obviously. You can already tell from this introduction that I really liked the film and I want to delve a little deeper into how this story is approached and also some curiosities that I then looked for, even a story based on facts, but before that, don't forget to subscribe here to the channel and click on the Bell to receive notification so that when there is a new video, I always bring news about films and series here for you. the sooner you know, good people here at the Series.
We follow a real story that happened in 1972 when a plane carrying the amateur rugby team from Uruguay to Chile collided in the Andes and resulted in the accident that we follow throughout the film on this plane. There were 45 people, including the players, some family members and also the crew, and due to the difficulty of the location, the plane crashed, they ended up being trapped for 72 days, having to fight for their survival and only 16 of them survived . It was very shocking because of the developments, mainly because of the way they survived, in order not to starve, they had to feed on the bodies of those who had already died, in addition to the film being based on the real story, right, it is also based on the book written by Pablo Vice and I had already talked about this film on my social networks and many of you said that the case had also been covered in another film from 1993 which was titled alive, which even has Eon Hawk in the cast and this is an important fact to talk about because After I finished the film I was so impressed with the story but not only with the story itself But the way it was demonstrated here in this Netflix film, the film had already been released in some cinemas, right here in Brazil in December and now it arrives on the platform, it is a very strong candidate for an international film at the Oscars.
But as I was saying, I liked the technical way so much that some scenes were worked on, the work of the actors here on the scene to tell this story in such a vivid way that I went to research more to know how some scenes were made, the work of the actors because we see it throughout the film as well, right, to represent all this time that Although they were eating, there was still little food, right, so they looked very thin when they were found and we see this in the final scenes of the film, so I was quite impressed and one of the things that the director himself said in an interview is that they only made this film because they thought there was a way to tell this story in a different way. of what, for example, had been represented there in the 1993 live film and one of the things was the language spoken, in fact we have characters who speak Spanish because they were Uruguayan actors who are Uruguayan so it is a touch that really makes all the difference to We Brazilians, particularly, we don't care much because we watch a lot of subtitled films, I know that many like dubbed films and there are dubbed films available, but I really like it when they bring the origins there, right? Ah, it's telling a story from Uruguay, it does include actors who talk mainly about Netflix, which is worldwide, there are works from basically all countries, right?
So I think they have globalized a lot of local works and that's why it's so important for this story to be told, yes, in the language of origin, but not just people, the work of actors like I had spoken, right? Both about the body and the scenes, I think that this film and it was even what motivated me to record this video, at first I was going to talk more on social media, but I wanted to talk more about this film, I felt that the work that it was done in the scenes it was very exquisite Of course we will never know what it's like to go through what it's like a plane crash in fact But I felt that the film worked in a very immersive way and a lot of that I did too I understood after researching, right, why they actually made the actors be immersed in the snow so that they could bring, right, the feeling there that they were very cold, of course the actor, right, who did it, he even said that, even though it was torturous In some situations, we still knew that we were going to finish our work and return home, it would never be close to what their experience actually was and one of the survivors, Roberto Canessa, said that the film is a light version of what it really was and in fact like that at several moments he even talks about in this interview that the film is very much about making you feel in the situation and see what you would do and I think they work very well with this relationship between us as an audience and empathy that story no matter how much it portrays there, right, cannibalism, we are inserted into situations to the point of questioning, right, What would I do if I survived, would come the things they had to do, right, like for example making the water there from the Ice, putting it in the sun and also go after the radio without mentioning the confrontations like the storm, people, the Storm scene I was in agony like that, it's surreal but it's a film that does make you question What would you do and makes you understand that situation, right? film I found myself thinking several times, right, how beyond tense the situation there was and the survival of natural causes, right, like the storm, beyond the fall itself, the difficulty of being able to find them because from the heights there it was not possible to see anything, right, they themselves have that mountain scene they talk about, look behind us, we can't even see the plane, of course no one will find us from the sky, right the planes they were looking for, but we also see little by little those people who were on the flight die and a One of the things that Roberto himself said in this interview is that these situations also led them to reflect on who was next as if you were in a line as if you were next, right, because it really was a long time, 72 days and in those conditions it was really very drastic I even need to confess that I found it interesting that Numa came as narrator and not being one of the Survivor characters, but I think that his narrative also ends up bringing a lot This aspect of this conversation with the audience, right, and with his CD relationship, right, because he needed to eat there but also him wanting to be participative, I think that conversation is so beautiful when he says that he was feeling useless because he had an injury there and they said that he wasn't useless, you know, Man, I was very emotional in several parts of this film, much more so at the end Man, when they meet the family, it's very strong, like him crying, you know, but there's one of the things that I think for me is the gold of this film is how they also work with humanity, we have, right, there was the cannibalism situation that you can understand But at the same time they don't lose their humanity so seeing scenes of one taking care of the other was very beautiful for me, I found it extremely moving and not only, you know, keeping their belongings there because it is the symbolism of this story, those people, they are unfortunately gone and the importance to tell the story of these people, I also really liked that as the film goes on, it features lyrics from each of those people.
So it's a film that also goes through mourning throughout it and I think they got a lot right in terms of portraying it. that or even when they heard it on the radio, you know, that they both managed to find someone and say that they were still alive, they started to get ready, you know, I thought they were scenes with such a human touch, you know, it's really very moving how they worked and one of the things that I had already said on social media is also that I think that of all the films that I have seen about plane crashes, I think that this was one of the films that was perhaps closest to reality, I don't know if it was because of the detail that they worked on the scenes, the crash itself, the way the plane was divided and then the whole relationship, even the physical one, right, what happened there, the despair like that, the work that was done here Technically, both in terms of how these scenes were filmed and of the actors is surprising it's surprising I think it's a film that starts 2024 with a lot of power I really hope it's nominated because it's really impressive I need to tell you that I wasn't familiar with the case, I hadn't watched the 93 film as much as I had knowledge of the case itself, so for me everything was new as I followed along and that's why I was as well. I think I was as shocked as Nan's death because I thought he was going to be one of the Survivors so I felt a lot there with him too, you see.
aspects of the actor, you know, even though he doesn't appear there at the end, you know, showing how thin he was, we can get this perception on his face and also, right, All this symbolism of how they worked on the snow society, what the society was da Neve, right, so it's a beautiful film, I think it portrays an immeasurable difficulty Of course, I said so, it's super immersive But we'll never know what it really is, but I still think it's a film that puts you in in this place of thought, it is a film that has shocking scenes but not simply to shock but to convey how difficult that situation was and to lead to our empathy of understanding what happened there and even more shocking, right, being based on a real story, in fact, that happened and it's interesting, right? Because Yellow Jackets recently premiered on Netflix and they have a very similar premise and I even started to reflect on whether it was suddenly one of the inspirations when I made the video for Hello Jackets, some of you even commented that it had another very similar work that now sorry I forgot the name but these two works could most likely have been based on something that actually happened and for me I think it is much more touching, of course in fiction we are always analyzing how the thing was made scene, right, and everything else, like this story is driven, but when you have the reality, like that happened, I think it makes you reflect, but it has a greater weight there, of course, many series put me in that thought and if it were me in that situation, I would at least like it.
