That would have been perfect. 👏
Frank Marshall never set foot in the Valley of Tears. JA Bayona and his sound designer and fx designer went up there and spent about six days mapping out the entire area. Bayona found out through discussions with the 16 who survived the crash and slide were not that smooth as it was in Alive. In Society of the Snow, we see the fuselage hitting several rocks on the way down. That is depicted in SOS. That's what happens when you have a team dedicated to the truth, not Hollywood's version of it.
I think it's pretty safe to assume the explosion from the Americans testing of Operation Crossroads is self-explanatory.
It is canon. In the director's cut, the scene was put back.
Yes, Bayona saw Alive and decided to bring in the men who were actually there as technical advisors, as well as the relatives of the dead. What we got was the truth, not what Marshall and Kennedy concocted for their Hollywood story. I'm sticking with the now 14, since Javier Methol died in 2015 and Coche Inciarte died in 2022, who it actually happened to.
According to those 16 men who survived it, "Society of the Snow" wins hands down. What happened in Alive was not the truth according to Nando Parrado who tried to tell Mrashall what he was doing wrong. It was exause of that, the relatives of the dead and some if the survivors refused to allow their names to be used. Bayona had the complete trust of all the men who survived and the families of the 29 who perished.
"Godzilla Minus One" should be in the main films, not international. G-1 deserves to be in the main ten. But go ahead and pick films on one has heard of instead of recognizing how G-1 was a triumph for the film industry. But yeah, I guess girly doll films are more in line with Hollywood's form of entertainment.
It should consider itself lucky. Gidzilla Minus One deserved to be nominated in best picture and director, as well as lead actor. J. A. Bayona deserved a nomination for directing Society of the Snow. Agustin Pardella, Matias Recalt, and Enzo Vogorinic all deserved nominations for actor. Micahel Giacchino deserved a nomination for best score for Society of the Snow, and Naoki Sato deserved one for Godzilla Minus One. Barbie got 8 nominations while other films were snubbed.
One has the sanction of the survivors and the relatives of the dead. One has a bunch of over acting Hollywood types who are playing people the survivors don't recognize. Namely themselves.
Now that wins the day for me. 👍
Well how can an American born, Swiss/French raised man play a Scot. I'm of course talking about Christopher Lambert. Adrian Paul is also English, but he played a Scot in Duncan McLeod. For me I'd rather if it were true casting have Sam Heughan who is a Scot playing a Scot on Outlander. He's got a good body for it.
That behaviour is standard for rape victims. Your big city Special Victims Unit's know the behaviour well. Only difference is the larger city units aren't so quick to call a woman a liar. They didn't support her. She should have received care in terms of physical and mental support. The woman who called the police to call into question the girl's story, had no right to do that and she knew the girl was in a delicate condition mentally. She should have been more supportive and understand what the girl, her own foster child, was going through. Doesn't matter if Marie was "messed up." The point is the police in effect bullied her forcing the recantation. Marie should have been supported. Not prosecuted. And that is the reason rape victims don't report. They're always afraid of being called liars. Now if real evidence had come forward that proved beyond a doubt she was lying, then and only then should action have been taken. But when the same kind of assaults are happening in other areas, these this police unit should have known about, their excuse is just that, an excuse.
Yes on both accounts.
Look at your menu. I initially began watching the dubbed version, then found the subtitles and the original Spanish.
Oh, so Alive containing stereotypes and archetypes is somehow better than a film that has the complete blessing of the survivors and the families of the dead? I understood who was who just fine. Numa, Nando, Canessa, the Strauchs, Susana, Liliana and Javier.
Alive was made by Americans for Americans and embellished the details to make it easily consumable for a largely North American audience. The true leader was Numa and Marcelo were the leaders. Marcelo was the captain of the team. Numa was the spiritual centre. Antonio was not the leader. After Numa and Marcelo's deaths, Nando became the leader. That is a fact. The narrating by Numa (Enzo Vogrincic) was perfect. He was speaking for the dead urging the living to survive.
Because the film was filmed 30 years ago and is told largely from an American standpoint means it's better than the film that had the support of the country where this all happened, the survivors who put their full support behind the film, and the families of the dead who felt their loved one were given proper respect and a voice? The part that was classy and put this film leaps and bounds above Alive was how Bayona put the dead's names and ages up the screen in I suppose was hard to read given the "foreign language" was hard to understand? Spare me.
The fact that the survivors and the families of the dead feel this film depicts the true events and represent them all beautifully. That makes it a better movie. Roger Ebert said of Alive, "It's hard to go with the film when the actor's bodies look normal for people who'd been malnourished for two months." I agree with him. Totally takes me out of the film. This film, however, is truer to the events where Alive embellished for the American audience it was aimed at. This film was made for an international audience and for the survivors, who appear in the film, and the families of the dead.
Except this film has the blessing of the survivors and the families of the dead. That makes this one way better. And if you notice in the end credits, though you might have difficulty reading, Nando, Canessa, and the rest of the survivors are actually in the movie. Couple that with the fact that Carlitos Paez's son plays him in the film, and that makes this one closer to the actual events. Doesn't matter if you've seen documentaries on this. I've seen the same ones. This film put a bow tie on my fascination with this disaster. It may be a "small detail" to you, but the survivors and the families of the dead don't think it's a small thing.
Because the Frank Marshall version was a ridiculous film where the actors didn't care about the real life events enough to do what it took to make it believable. The actors and Bayona actually are Uruguayan and met with the members of the Old Christians who survived, and the families of those who died to do justice to the story. Marshall really didn't care to consult the survivors, but Bayona wouldn't do it without the survivors and the dead's family members sanction. He also wanted to make sure the actors looked like they were suffering malnutrition. They were all put on doctor approved diets. Ethan Hawke who played a Hollywood Hollywoodized version of Nando Parado, refused to grow the beard Nando had until the rescue 72 days after. The actor who played Nando, Augustin Pardella, actually looked like Nando and grew the beard. So that was the reason to "do it again."
Jeremy Renner did not threaten to kill his rx wife. Sonny Pachio is a known liar who attempted to say jer child with Renner was not Renner's. She claimed in several court filings that Renner abused her. Those filings were systematically tied to his various film releases. She claimed he sexually abused their daughter. Child psychiatrists interviewed Ava and found Pachio to have concocted the lies to win in a custody case. She also claimed Renner was an "abuser of hard-core drugs." Insurance medical exams he had to undergo in order to do the Marvel films proved he did not. Further he submitted himself to six months worth of drug testing and submitted everything to the court. On his dime, not the court's. Pachio refused to submit to drug testing and was going to be charged with perjury when she dropped all those claims. Renner has physical custody of Ava with Pachio getting visitation.
It should be noted after Renner's snowplough accident, he refused all hard-core pain meds and chosenon addictive ones, plus he also does meditation and other workouts including time in a hyperbaric chamber to promote healing. So please.
I sided with Brad Pitt because Jolie has proven time and time again she's crazy.
