바카라Society Of The Snow바카라 is a which is based on the real-life story of the Uruguayan 1972 Andes flight disaster. The film has been adapted for screen from Pablo Vierci바카라s book of the same name. The book tells the tale of the 16 survivors of the crash, most of whom Pablo Vierci knew right from his childhood. The film has been nominated to win at various film award events this year.

바카라Society Of The Snow바카라: Story

바카라바카라 starts with a Uruguayan flight 571, carrying the rugby team from Uruguay to Chile. It goes on to crash on a glacier in the Andes Mountain range. While many of the passengers die on impact, there are many others who survive the crash, and are now stranded in the middle of nowhere. These passengers feel that authorities are going to send a rescue team for them. However, after days of waiting, there is no rescue team coming to get them. Now, it바카라s up to the survivors on how to save themselves from the harsh weather, feed themselves when there is no food available at all, and above all, trek the Andes and reach a place of habitation. It바카라s one of the toughest conditions to survive, and these survivors have to make that journey to stay alive.

바카라Society Of The Snow바카라: Performances

While most of the cast is relatively new, comprising Uruguayan and Argentine actors, they all have given a stunning performance. You can바카라t distinguish one from the other as they바카라re all so good. Even if they바카라ve had fewer dialogues, their facial expressions, their body language, and their overall performance were brilliant.

바카라Society Of The Snow바카라: Script, Direction & Technical Aspects

The writing by JA Bayona, Bernat Vilaplana, Jaime Marques and Nicolás Casariego adapts the story from the book brilliantly. The way they바카라ve gone to add the thrilling bits of cannibalism makes you feel how deeply they had researched and understood the story. The writing understood that viewers might not be happy to see gore onscreen as they바카라re in for a thriller, and that바카라s why they so aesthetically and subtly touched up on the cannibalism aspect that you바카라re neither grossed out and don바카라t even feel pukish. Rather, you바카라re looking forward to the other bits and take this part in your stride. Also, the writers manage to give you the perfect highs at the perfect moments. Therefore, you바카라re not feeling like you바카라re just seeing a thriller, and you바카라re hooked even to the storyline of what바카라s happening. Also, you바카라re left constantly guessing as to what might happen next. Getting the audience to interact so much with the story is applause-worthy.

JA Bayona바카라s direction hypnotises you with his spectacularity. While the writing was good, his direction just uplifts the viewing experience to another high altogether. While people are usually taken aback by the gorgeous beauty of snow-capped mountains, JA Bayona has managed to show a very different side of these lovely peaks. The way he has captured the essence of the thriller makes you want to want to watch the movie over and over again. You constantly get chills and you바카라re left in tenterhooks every time a small sound occurs. Also, managing to get these feelings of horror across the audience through the screen is just sheer magic.

The cinematography by Pedro Luque is without a doubt the best thing about the film. While on the one hand, you바카라re getting mesmerised by the gorgeous landscape and the beautiful snowy peaks, you바카라re also made to realise how deadly they can be. Bringing the dichotomy into the visuals was really a masterpiece. Then, the scenes which were shot when the survivors were trying to evade the night chill or when they were buried under the snow for a few days 바카라 those scenes make you have a chill run down your spine. The scenes shot when they바카라re buried in the avalanche make you feel claustrophobic just by looking at them. That바카라s some mastery over the cinematography that Pedro Luque was able to translate that fear just through the screens. Brilliance at play, we must say!

The editing by Jaume Martí is also top-notch. It makes you feel so connected to the story. There are quite a few scenes where you can see things happening in the background with the forefront being that of the actor바카라s facial expressions. Those scenes have been edited so well, so that the viewers don바카라t feel grossed out, but also understand the gravity of the situation. However, for a thriller, it would have been ideal if the run-time would have been shorter by another 10-15 minutes. There are a few scenes in the middle of the survivors basking in the sun, which could have been slightly edited a bit so as to bring down the run time.

The music by Michael Giacchino is also apt. The way he has captured the sounds of the avalanche or of the chills of the night is simply brilliant. Also, the sounds of the survivors opening their eyes or stretching their arms after being buried under a layer of snow trying to save themselves in the open feel so authentic. The background score makes you feel as if you바카라re right there in the middle of it all, and you바카라re also battling it out alongside the other survivors.
