The cinematic venture known as Society of the Snow (La Sociedad de la Nieve), featuring an all-Latine cast and entirely presented in Uruguayan Spanish, has broken Netflix records by establishing itself as the second most watched foreign language movie on the platform. Despite clinching two Oscar nods this season, the film departed the Academy Awards gala empty-handed.
The cyber community conveyed profound dismay regarding this development. Whenever online users voice their dissatisfaction, it invariably leads to amusing outcomes, particularly within the online Latin American realm.
The responses in the form of moving images were rather intense, to say the least.
There was an influx of humorous images, including a light-hearted tease referencing a notorious mix-up at the Oscars.
Moreover, a multitude of fan-crafted clips surfaced.
Some debated that Society of the Snow fell short of winning at the 2024 Oscars due to its detachment from a major Hollywood venture.
There were allusions to Oppenheimer visuals to underscore the extent of frustration felt by specific individuals regarding the perceived oversights towards Society of the Snow.
Numerous individuals were notably peeved that the accolade was handed out by Bad Bunny in Spanish yet was bestowed upon The Zone of Interest.
Essentially, Society of the Snow received widespread adoration, perplexing audiences with its defeat.
This movie is a screen adaptation of the identically titled novel penned by Pablo Vierci. It narrates the harrowing chronicle of the 1972 event involving the crash of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 in the Andes. Of the 45 occupants aboard, 16 survived in the brutal conditions for 72 days. Ultimately, they were rescued after an arduous journey by two survivors, Roberto Canessa and Nando Parrado, who climbed to an altitude of 15,260 feet and traversed roughly 38 miles over 10 days in search of help.
