"HUMAN SPIRIT- The innate desire to triumph,
This review is from: Alive (DVD)
...in the face of adversity."ALIVE is one of my top favorite movies. It's about the power of the human spirit to overcome anything. I love movies dealing with this topic. The movie begins with: "1972, A South American rugby team, together with some friends and relatives crosses the Andes to play a game in neighboring Chile." They never arrive at their destination...or do they? The anthropography (a branch of anthropology dealing with the distribution of man as distinguished by physical character, language, institutions, and customs) is one of the best developed I have ever seen in a movie. (Bravo to Frank Marshall!) This is one of the things I love most about the movie--watching the interactions with each other. I feel as if I know each one. All emotion and soul is bared here, from the deep love and brotherhood to the frustration and anger they feel. They survived many trials besides the plane crash and starvation which I will save for you to see. What impresses me most besides their will to fight and survive, is how, through it all, they kept God with them--through prayer and in their hearts. I have watched ALIVE countless times and wondered if I were one of them who would I have been? Obviously Nando (Hawke) I considered first, as well as the medical student and his fellow climber, Roberto Canessa. But I must say that Carlitos, is my favorite character and the one closest to my heart. With his remorse ("I yelled at her...God forgive me!") prayers (he led the group each night in Hail Mary), his humor ("Hey, I'll pay for the pizza if you go and get it!"), his spirituality ("Do you feel it?" What? "God. God is everywhere today.") his love ("I love you all so much."/"God bless you all.") and hope ("I had a dream last night, a tremendous premonition. I saw green fields and flowers--I could smell the grass. Your expedition WILL SUCCEED.") There is so much to learn and take with you watching this movie. Alive is a story that was destined to be told. My highest recommendation and 10/10 stars. Soar! Additional comments: "This film is dedicated to the 29 who died and the 16 who survived."

BEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN,
By
This review is from: Alive (DVD)
This true story is tragic but remarkably made into a movie. You can feel yourself in it and in the end explode from being saved.Excellent movie to share amongst the younger generation of today. It will make them realize that an XBOX and a Wii is not as important as life itself.

a must see. makes me cry every time I watch it. The ending song with Aaron Neville is just about one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever put on screen...
