DVD Review: An amazing film
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an amazing depiction of a true story about an airplane crash in the Andes and the people who survived - and those who didn't. Cannibalism is one aspect of the film, but I found I could easily understand how that happened. Several of the survivors in this movie were true heroes. Although parts of this film were very disturbing and difficult to watch, I found it to be a great reminder of the good fortune and lack of true tragedy that many of us take for granted. A must see, but not before a flight!DVD Review: Unbelievable hope in the face of tragedy
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading Nando Parrado's book entitled "Miracle in the Andes" I had to see this movie. It made me more aware of the "living" conditions in the Andes, the survival techniques used and and leadership it took for them to walk out of the mountains
Description of Alive
Witness ALIVE, the thrilling true-life adventure of challenge and survival! In this action-packed hit, a team of tough rugby players survive a plane crash deep in the desolate, snow-covered Andes. Stranded there, they must overcome incredible odds to stay alive! See for yourself the unforgettable story of ordinary young men who find courage in the face of disaster and test the very limits of human endurance! It's an astonishing death-defying triumph that will both entertain ... and inspire you!In 1972 a chartered plane carrying a Uruguayan rugby squad and various family members crashed in the Andes. If that sounds dry and matter-of-fact, you haven't seen director Frank Marshall's harrowing re-creation Alive, an adrenaline-pounding, heart-in-your-mouth spectacle that kicks off this famous story of survival. The real-life against-all-odds odyssey made worldwide headlines when it became known that the survivors ate their own dead to survive. What could have easily become sensationalistic exploitation is treated with compassion and dignity by Marshall as he explores their moral and spiritual struggles as well as their physical ordeal. As team captain and base-camp cheerleader Vincent Spano slowly collapses under the stress and Ethan Hawke rouses from mourning his dead family to taking charge of saving himself, it also becomes a portrait in leadership, hope, and emotional courage. --Sean Axmaker
