The Society of the Snow

I thought it meant world-wide, too. And I just checked Netflix here (in Canada) - yes, it’s showing here, too.

I watched it today, and it was terrific! I then watched some of the behind-the-scenes videos on YouTube. I remember really liking Alive years ago, and this was much better. It was great to see that some of the survivors are still around and were supervisors on the movie. I liked that the situation itself created enough drama without having to make up something that never happened.

I’m remembering how much I hated Titanic when it came out because they obviously figured that the sinking of a massive ship would be so boring for audiences that they created a ridiculous “love story” to keep us interested. Ugh!

(By the way, I never want to fly in a plane again. Or eat meat.)

For me, it was the LACK of chemistry that was a problem! They seemed like mother and son, and I found it gross. And I have a long list of other complaints about the movie. It made a ton of money, so obviously other people did like it.

The most memorable thing about going to see Titanic was that it was the first movie showing at a brand-new nearby gigantic Cineplex theatre. So we saw it on a giant screen, which did look amazing. I remember being doubtful that people would be willing to drive to the middle of nowhere to see a movie. Before then, movie theatres here were part of a mall. But eventually they opened a bunch of restaurants and stores around the Cineplex, so it’s actually a very busy area now.
