Yes on both accounts.
Look at your menu. I initially began watching the dubbed version, then found the subtitles and the original Spanish.
Oh, so Alive containing stereotypes and archetypes is somehow better than a film that has the complete blessing of the survivors and the families of the dead? I understood who was who just fine. Numa, Nando, Canessa, the Strauchs, Susana, Liliana and Javier.
Alive was made by Americans for Americans and embellished the details to make it easily consumable for a largely North American audience. The true leader was Numa and Marcelo were the leaders. Marcelo was the captain of the team. Numa was the spiritual centre. Antonio was not the leader. After Numa and Marcelo's deaths, Nando became the leader. That is a fact. The narrating by Numa (Enzo Vogrincic) was perfect. He was speaking for the dead urging the living to survive.
Because the film was filmed 30 years ago and is told largely from an American standpoint means it's better than the film that had the support of the country where this all happened, the survivors who put their full support behind the film, and the families of the dead who felt their loved one were given proper respect and a voice? The part that was classy and put this film leaps and bounds above Alive was how Bayona put the dead's names and ages up the screen in I suppose was hard to read given the "foreign language" was hard to understand? Spare me.
The fact that the survivors and the families of the dead feel this film depicts the true events and represent them all beautifully. That makes it a better movie. Roger Ebert said of Alive, "It's hard to go with the film when the actor's bodies look normal for people who'd been malnourished for two months." I agree with him. Totally takes me out of the film. This film, however, is truer to the events where Alive embellished for the American audience it was aimed at. This film was made for an international audience and for the survivors, who appear in the film, and the families of the dead.
Except this film has the blessing of the survivors and the families of the dead. That makes this one way better. And if you notice in the end credits, though you might have difficulty reading, Nando, Canessa, and the rest of the survivors are actually in the movie. Couple that with the fact that Carlitos Paez's son plays him in the film, and that makes this one closer to the actual events. Doesn't matter if you've seen documentaries on this. I've seen the same ones. This film put a bow tie on my fascination with this disaster. It may be a "small detail" to you, but the survivors and the families of the dead don't think it's a small thing.
Because the Frank Marshall version was a ridiculous film where the actors didn't care about the real life events enough to do what it took to make it believable. The actors and Bayona actually are Uruguayan and met with the members of the Old Christians who survived, and the families of those who died to do justice to the story. Marshall really didn't care to consult the survivors, but Bayona wouldn't do it without the survivors and the dead's family members sanction. He also wanted to make sure the actors looked like they were suffering malnutrition. They were all put on doctor approved diets. Ethan Hawke who played a Hollywood Hollywoodized version of Nando Parado, refused to grow the beard Nando had until the rescue 72 days after. The actor who played Nando, Augustin Pardella, actually looked like Nando and grew the beard. So that was the reason to "do it again."
Jeremy Renner did not threaten to kill his rx wife. Sonny Pachio is a known liar who attempted to say jer child with Renner was not Renner's. She claimed in several court filings that Renner abused her. Those filings were systematically tied to his various film releases. She claimed he sexually abused their daughter. Child psychiatrists interviewed Ava and found Pachio to have concocted the lies to win in a custody case. She also claimed Renner was an "abuser of hard-core drugs." Insurance medical exams he had to undergo in order to do the Marvel films proved he did not. Further he submitted himself to six months worth of drug testing and submitted everything to the court. On his dime, not the court's. Pachio refused to submit to drug testing and was going to be charged with perjury when she dropped all those claims. Renner has physical custody of Ava with Pachio getting visitation.
It should be noted after Renner's snowplough accident, he refused all hard-core pain meds and chosenon addictive ones, plus he also does meditation and other workouts including time in a hyperbaric chamber to promote healing. So please.
I sided with Brad Pitt because Jolie has proven time and time again she's crazy.
They had Rodan bow to Godzilla. In real Kaiju that would never happen. Ridan is an impudent ass. He would see the other monsters doing it and stand there and laugh at them.
They are AFRAID of Putin. Full stop. If you think YOU could oppose Putin without ending up in gulag or a vat of acid, feel free.
Oligarchs, mafias, Lenin, Stalin, Putin, etc al are solely responsible for what has befallen Russia. Rich university boys like Alexander Lenin, Andrei Zhelyabov....and the like all believed they had the divine right to change the "plight" of the peasants. Problem was, the peasants feared authority. They believed there was themselves and the Tsar. However, the Zemlyai Volya (The Will of the People) were a bunch of Odessa rich boys thinking they knew exactly what the peasants needed, and they set about to doing it. And what they set about to do was to do whatever was necessary to bring Russia to their way of thinking. No matter who was harmed doing it. If it meant the people they claimed to work for had to be lied to, so be it.
Right now the soap opera Days of our Lives have too many interracial relationships. It's too many. And in the HBO show The Last of Us all three main characters of Joel Miller, Ellie Williams, and Tommy Miller all have or had relationships with black women. Again, it's too many. I don't mind an occasional couple, but when it's done for the sole reason to up the "woke" content of the show, then it's not doing anything bit showing it's hiring quota. And that is the issue I have with AMPAS. They have installed unrealistic hiring quotas on shows that are not realistic. Friends was correct in the level of the close knit friendships Ross, Rachel, Chandler, Phoebe, Joey, and Monica formed. I didn't have any Blacks, Asians, or any other ethnic group in my circles growing up in the 70s.
He refused. This made the real Nando Parado angry.

There was a very simple thing called Scientology's SecCheck files. In those, the person (in this case) the victims (Jane Does) and the perpetrator (Masterson) have to tell their auditor what things they've done. Those things are jotted down in copious pages dedicated to kompromat on the "parishioners." The Jane Does told their auditors what happened. David Miscavige knows what happened, but the impetus is not to give comfort to the victims. Oh no. They are the dirtiest of the dirt according to Scientology as they are making claims against fellow high level "cough"high contributors"cough" to the cult. Since Masterson was a high contributor he is the one who has been "victimized" by the Jane Does who according to Scientology, "did something to bring it in." Meaning, they are the bad ones. They are the ones who should be shunned or disconnected from due to them coming between a Scientologist In Good Standing (Masterson), and the mission to "Clear the Planet."
So everything Masterson did is documented in those auditing files. That is why Judge Olmedo allowed them to come in in the retrial because they were relevant to the finding of fact. Masterson admitted to what he did in the pages of those auditing sessions. That's what got him convicted. He admitted he did it. Scientology chose to protect him, instead of giving the Jane Does justice.
Oh no, it was proven he didn't do anything. Teo highly respected child sexual agencies cleared Woody. Both the judge and the prosecutor, who were on Mia's side, had to admit there was nothing. The Yale-New Haven Child Sexual Assualt Clinjc report clearly stated they believed Dylan's testimony had been coached.
If you've got two hours, there's an excellent video on YouTube by Rick Worley who spells it all out for you. It can be found here:

The Soviet Union/Russia is now Putinist. I think he abolished Stalinism and Leninism a long time ago. Certainly the years of glastnost and perestroika are dead.
Yup. For sure.
Socialists are left/far left. Nationalists/Fascists are what the Nazi party was. Communists is what the Soviet Union still is.
They are part of the public court record that is available online via the courthouse website. How could they be this dense in the internet age.
