Mountains

Based on real events. In 1972, a South American football team was flying to Chile when the plane crashed in the Andes. On the snow-capped mountains in winter, due to lack of food, they had to live on the corpses of their dead relatives and friends until 72 days later, two of them crossed the mountains to find rescue.

The sense of reality and despair in Alive is quite similar to the previous German mountaineering film "North Wall". The only difference is that 16 people were rescued in the end, which makes people feel that there is hope as long as they are strong enough.

In the play Nandu, I climbed to the top of the mountain with all the hardships. I thought I could see the verdant valleys of Chile. Unexpectedly, what I saw was the endless snow-capped mountains... I and Enze climbed the rice pile back then, always thinking of the next one. The mountain slope is past the glacier, and finally reached it after climbing to vomit blood. Very proud. Probably because no one else has climbed to such a deep place (the truth is almost the same), we finally have a taste of the true face of the glacier. As a result, when I returned to Beijing and searched with google earth, I found that I didn't even climb one-thousandth of the glacier...not to mention that it was just a trivial corner of the Himalayas.

Mountains-really hard to conquer by human foot power!

    If something bad happens, please eat me and live strong, provided that you are going to feed me fat...Isn't Messi playing football? And at the end, I was really worried that Ethan had crossed the Andes with all his hardships, and ended up falling from the helicopter because of his excitement.

    What is the limit of human survival under extreme conditions? A record of an athlete in his early twenties who broke through religious ethics and survived without supplies for 70 days on a snowy mountain. In the beginning part, there were many characters with facial blindness. After the crash, the characters of the protagonists gradually became more prominent, so it was easy to see them. But I also want to pick a few thorns that hinder immersive viewing: First, at such a cold temperature, their exhalation has never been unreal, and second, the feeling of being frozen is not tangible.

  • Felipe Restano: What's more important to you, rugby or girls?

    Nando: Girls. You?

    Felipe Restano: Girls.

    Nando: But when I'm playing rugby, rugby's the most important thing.

    Felipe Restano: Yeah, unless girls are watching.

    Nando: Right.

    [both Laugh]

  • Nando: [addressing the survivors] Okay, uh, I got something to tell you. Good news - they called off the search.

    Carlitos Páez: [everyone objects and argues] Why the hell is that good news?

    Nando: Because it means we're gonna get out of here on our own.
