Alive- On the one hand review 1 argues that the movie was more of a compassionate film. When they eat the human flesh they were on more compassionate terms. It also talks about how the movie "draws considerable power from staying more human than heroic." On the other hand, review 2 contends that the movie wasn't that good. It was more of a "corny" film. That a lot of the events throughout the movie didn't exactly quit make sense. Things such as; the human flesh that looked more like chicken, and Nando recovering from a bad concussion. My own view is that I honestly agree with the first review of the movie. I personally thought it showed a lot of motivation and faith to keep moving and get through the crash. I did have some negative aspects to the movie as well. This is when I'd also agree to the second review. When they had to turn to cannibalism to survive, the pieces did very much look more like chicken then anything. Now, I understand it's a movie and they wouldn't actually eat real human flesh, but they could however make it more gruesome like and more similar then a piece of chicken. Overall, I definitely agreed more with review 1. I acknowledged the fact that most of them stayed more sane considering how long they were there and how hard it was to get through a 70 plus day stranding in the cold Andes Mountains. They all did their bidding and helped out with what they could. They all took care of each other and tried their best to keep everyone alive. Especially with the couple horrific events that happened. Those being said, the plane crash for one and then the avalanche that caught them all by surprise when they were sleeping. Killing more of the people in the plane. Review 1 agrees when he writes about them helping each other out and "staying more human than heroic." While I agree with review 1 up to a point, I cannot accept that they didn't act heroic at a few points throughout the movie. One example being, when Nando and Robert continued to walk towards the "green valley," they sent their third companion home and went on to get help. Whether they knew or not if they were actually going to hit the "green valley." I feel as though that was a pretty heroic moment. Yet some readers may challenge my view by insisting that's just what people do for each other. I understand that but I also don't agree with that. I would want to be rescued as badly as they do but to know what I'd be walking into leaving the plane and going into the many mountains. Along with how cold it was? No, I believe it to be very heroic, and there's nothing wrong with that. They saved everyone in the end because they had the willpower and faith to keep going and hit the "green valley" one of their team members had told them about.
