Talk:Alive (1993 film)

message: I am removing the folowing parenthetical phrase: (the Andes mountains are not usually covered in snow. The weather at the time was the roughest the Andes ever experienced).  The plane crashed on a glacier at an altitude of about 12,000 feet. There are dozens of large glaciers in the Andes and also gigantic snowfields.  Snow is common at 12,000 feet almost anywhere in the world.  Although the weather was bad at the time of the crash, it was actually spring in the Andes, and no one would have survived in those conditions if the weather was "the roughest the Andes ever experienced".

message: I was born in Uruguay and lived there 32 years. There's no such a thing like Central European = richs vs. South European=poors. Almost everybody is european descendant and that is for everybody is immigrant descendant; most of immigrants were poor and hard workers anywhere they came from. I've grew up in a middle class family and all of my friends from Elemental School to University, neighbours, collegues, etc., had German, French as well as Italian or Spanish origins. Of course there are much more Italians and Spanish but they are not from less privilege social classes while privilege ones are from other origins. Passengers of that plane were (are) an elite, yes; so it's no representative of Uruguayan society, no. But not because of their names or skin colors, just because. Parrado, Fernández, Pérez del Castillo, Delgado, Platero, Páez-Rodríguez, Inciarte are Spanish names; Sabella, Canessa, Zerbino, Magri, Turcatti are Italian names; others are from other European countries, so? If there were Strauch or François it's just a coincidence. It IS representative of Uruguayan demography, it is not representative of the whole society because they were an elite but they are not an elite for theirs origins; their privilege social positions has nothing to do with geography or eyes colour.

message: While most current film articles have overly detailed (sometimes more than is necessary) plot sections, this article doesn't. And I think it really needs one. Anyone with a copy of the DVD wanna take a shot at it? Shrumster (talk) 16:19, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
