Diego Pineda has been a devout storyteller his whole life. He has self-published a fantasy novel and a book of short stories, and is actively working on publishing his second novel.
There is perhaps no theme more universally relatable for any and all audiences than survival. Survival films appeal to the deepest, most primal instincts buried not very deep inside every viewer, inviting them to place themselves in the shoes of characters struggling to stay alive in an environment that, by all means, doesn't want them to.
Sandra Bullock is incredible in the lead role, effortlessly selling the part of a woman desperate to stay alive while she's as far away from home as she could possibly be. The script is nothing to write home about, but Bullock's performance is so great and the special effects so jaw-droppingly convincing that this is a survival drama one can't possibly look away from.
7 'Society of the Snow' Directed by J.A. Bayona One of the best survival movies based on true stories, Netflix's multinational drama Society of the Snow is based on the horrifying experiences of the Uruguayan rugby team that crashed on a glacier in the Andes back in 1972. There, the few passengers who survived the crash found themselves in one of the world's toughest environments to survive, having to resort to the most extreme measures while struggling to maintain their sanity.
Lee's beautiful rendition of Martel's themes of the relentless desire to survive and the magic of storytelling is deeply affecting. Mixed with some of the most stunning visuals of any film from the 2010s, Life of Pi became an instant survival drama classic. Even setting aside the visuals, though, this is one of the most gorgeous stories Lee has told in his whole career.
