Actually I saw an interview n Spanish and he was asked why he chose Numa to narrate the story when he did not survive. He said that every survivor have had the opportunity to express himself, to tell their story in so many different ways, a book, interviews, podcasts, conference etc and so this time, he wanted to give a voice to those who did not come out of the mountain to tell story. In this case Numa, the last one to die before being rescued. I found that powerful and beautiful.
I agree with Bayona that in giving Numa the position of narrator it was possible to make the movie a philosophical experience, just like the books were.
This movie is transformative! It is a story I always want near me in my heart because it helps to live better. I am in awe of these wonderful people, the survivors and the ones who died ❤
Such a huge difference to have a cast that wasn’t Caucasian. But the one thing I question is why didn’t all the actors have beards if they were in the mountains for so long? That part did not seem authentic to me
Most of them are Caucasian though 😂 Numa was of Italian descent, the cousins were German, most of the other ones are Spanish. Maybe some guarani blood mixed in there but that's about it 😂. I guess you mean English speaking.
@@marihuttenI thought exactly the same. 😊 Most of them are Caucasian. So do most of the real survivors. Actually I have just watched an interview to the children of some real survivors (Roberto Canessa and one of the Strauch), and as a Central American, it caught my attention how extremely white their skins looked. 😊
@@lauryb hhaha yeah, most uruguayans and argentineans from the rioplatense region have italian and spanish ancestry, even some ashkenazi jews and germans as well. It's when you go deeper into smaller towns and provinces that you get the more diverse mixed race and native american (mapuche guarani) ancestry.
