We all have a movie we watched way too young. Maybe it was a risqué romantic drama with superfluous nudity or a grisly horror film we barely understood. Whatever the title or how we managed to watch, exposure to the film’s adult themes at a delicate age likely led to broad misconceptions or emotional scars we carry into adulthood.
For many Millennials, that movie was Alive. Frank Marshall’s fictionalized retelling of the Miracle in the Andes introduced a generation of kids to the concept of eating human flesh and terrified us with one of the most horrific plane crash sequences ever committed to film.
In the latest episode of Bloody FM’s Murder Made Fiction podcast, Jenn and Joe continue their exploration of survival cannibalism with Marshall’s inspiration yet infamous film.
Adapted from the book by Piers Paul Read, Alive brings to life the 72 days survivors of the doomed Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 were stranded on a mountain high in the Andes. This film has haunted us both since childhood, but how does Marshall handle this true story’s darker moments and how does it honor the real men and women who died on the mountain?
Next week, we’ll tackle another fictionalized account of this harrowing story with J.A. Bayona’s Society of the Snow.
