I watched the film Alive last night, I feel it is very meaningful to all of us, so now I want to share it with you guys here.

Alive is a very old film produced in 1993, but its meaning is not old, its still fresh. We can learn how to survive from disaster like airplane crash. So let’s talk about it.

According to Wikipedia:

Alive is a 1993 film by the husband and wife team, director Frank Marshall and producer Kathleen Kennedy. It is based upon Piers Paul Read’s acclaimed 1974 book, Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors (which itself was based upon interviews with survivors of the crash of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 on October 13, 1972).

One of the survivors, Nando Parrado, (portrayed by Ethan Hawke in the film) served as the technical advisor to the film. Alive is narrated by John Malkovich.

The story is very simple, but it is meaningful. Here it is: The film tells the story of a Uruguayan Rugby team (who were alumni of Stella Maris College (Montevideo)) and their friends and family who were involved in the aircraft crash of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 which crashed into the Andes mountains on October 13, 1972.

The film described how they try to survive in such a disaster. The most impressive scene is they didn’t have enough food, they ate human’s dead body. This is a very controversial question, should we eat? In my opinion, they did the right thing, they ate, I would eat if I was in the same situation.

Alive is a movie able to touch your heart (and your stomach) as it grimly displays the miraculous true story of survival in the Andes. Using relative unknowns at the time, Alive was able to manipulate the audiences into believing that the circumstances were actually happening. Yeah, this movie can touch your deep heart, you must react about it. This is its meaning.

Have you ever watched this film? If not, I highly recommend watching it, you can learn something useful to your life from this movie. I feel my life is better after watching this film, I mean I will love my life more then ever. This is the meaning for me. What do you think?
