Watched it for the 4th time. Cried just as much as the 1st time. But yes, it is not only ''based'' on a true story, it IS the story, the full story of what happened. This is what the survivors told, it is what actually happened. No one deserved to die, but Marcelo and Numa, they deserved more than anyone to make it out alive. (With Nando, Roberto and the cousins) They gave so much, they helped so much. I'll never get over the fact that Numa died, so close to making it. This story is tragic and yes, for the families, it might be a miracle, but for them, the survivors, they lived through it all, it's not a miracle, they fought for it and half did not make it. It's not a miracle from god, as Arturo said, the real gods are Nando, the cousins, Roberto, Numa and their friends who passed who are now keeping the survivors alive by being literally eaten. It's not a miracle, it's not god's work, it's the survivors' resilience and their late friends' who gave their bodies.

2025-08-26 00:47:55 +0000 UTCSome hidden details in this film: Some parts of Society of the Snow were actually filmed at the real-life Andes plane crash site. The region continues to be a dangerous place, so not all of the filming could be done there for safety reasons, with the majority of the fuselage scenes being shot at a ski resort in Grenada, Spain at an altitude of 2,000 meters. Real-life survivor Carlitos Páez plays his own father in the film, who reads off the names of the 16 survivors toward the end of movie. Real-life survivor Nando Parrado also appears in Society of the Snow as a family member of his younger self at the airport before Agustín Pardella's depiction of him boards the fateful airplane. The actual Roberto Canessa, who is credited along with Nando Ferrado as the people who made the remarkable 10-day hike across the Andes to Chile, also appears in Society of the Snow as a doctor who helps guide the fictional version of himself played expertly by Matías Recalt. In real life, Canessa became a pediatric cardiologist in Uruguay and a motivational speaker whose presence in the film guiding his younger self to long-awaited safety is one of the most meaningful hidden aspects of the entire movie. Many of the actors in Society of the Snow were based from either Argentina or Uruguay and some of them had absolutely no acting experience prior to appearing in the film. One of the most interesting hidden aspects of the Society of the Snow filming process was how the actors all employed a method approach to the film. Bayona shot the entire movie in chronological order, which is extremely uncommon due to financial and practical considerations, in order to capture the actual devolution of the actors' bodies, from the characters' weight loss to the length of their fingernails.
