Entry I'm curious as to why Paéz is the narrator in the beginning and end of the film, when the movie focuses mainly on Canessa and Parrada as main characters. Almost all of the boys are alive today, and even if they weren't it is not Páez himself who is being interviewed but John Malcovich as Páez. So I'm still curious as to why they chose Páez instead of Parrado or Canessa, as they are both alive today. [I've not seen this anywhere, but it would make sense to use Paez because he was friends with everyone. When it started out, some of the people weren't speaking to each other, and some were openly arguing. Paez is a neutral character, one who never seemed to take sides, so he can ostensibly tell the story with an unbiased view.]
Entry What does Cannessa mean when he says "I had no premonition. So much for ESP,"? [ESP stands for Extra Sensory Perception, the ability to see into the future or predict it in the form of a premonition. He means that whatever happened, he literally didn't see it coming.]
