Quote:
Alive is a 1993 movie based upon Piers Paul Read's 1974 book Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors, which details the story of a Uruguayan rugby team who were involved in the crash of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, which crashed into the Andes mountains on October 13, 1972.

The film was directed by Frank Marshall and narrated by John Malkovich. One of the survivors, Nando Parrado, (portrayed by Ethan Hawke in the film) served as the technical advisor for the film.

An inspiring movie about the ethics and measures about what some real people needed to do to stay...alive. Heh.

I can't imagine a director topping the realistic intensity of the opening plane crash!

The rest of the movie was indeed inspiring and well done, though it didn't come close to the experience of reading the book for me...

4 out of 5.

It walks the thin line of moving moments of human courage and intensity while still sprinkling in scenes of lighthearted mischief and warmth.

Inspiring stuff.
