ParadiseLost Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Anyone see the movie of the 2010 Chilean miner rescue? Doubt it... Chilean miners never saw a penny of Hollywood movie, warn rescued Thai boys to beware of fraudsters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it is exceedingly sad. The director is half Thai and not a farang, therefore no one will take it seriously etc etc. It's a "boring story". What?? One of the most globally captivating events for a long time is boring. Right. Some people on here live truly depressing lives.

Nyezhov Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 He actually makes good movies. The Last Executioner for example. And this is an interesting story.

The live version had everything and all that will happen now is it will be condensed into under 2 hours and give a few overpaid actors a chance to pretend they are heroes. No thanks. You sound very closed minded and seem to be making it all about you.... I bet there are several things that occurred during this event that you have no idea about. And in fact, the movie could well enhance your experience. Some of the greatest movies ever made are about past events. Events experienced by a few or like this story, the world. But don't go, I doubt they will miss your bad attitude and 3 bucks. Edited November 25, 2018 by bkk6060 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know Elon Musk wasn't respectful towards of one of the main rescuers. The rest of the story came down to the brave guys locating and pulling the kids out. It was a remarkable rescue particularly after twelve odd days, but a general release film isn't necessarily going to bring to life the underlying courage of all involved. Please don't confuse this as a slur on the achievements and bravery of the rescuers and kids. Just glad it's not my money going into the financing of this film as definitely on shaky ground.

I saw it, at home as usual, I don't understand the old school movie theater goers when you can have a good sofa, large screen TV, surround system and all the snack and cold drinks you want right at comfort of your own home, with the ability to pause whenever you want. It was ok with beer and popcorn, I was mostly interested in the tech (drills) they used. This one I'll probably watch too on the sofa with brains turned off. It's another way to kill some leftover time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katia Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I know I've said it before, but... I thought nobody wanted to make a big deal out of this? (Oh, wait-- money to be made?) The cave was already damaged by the rescue efforts... let's do further damage to the area with film crews and actors and directors and gawkers tramping all over.

I'm sure they'll manage... create some drama among the boys (think "Lord of the Flies"?), show some "waiting while biting fingernails" drama from the families, some rescuer drama... it could be a right soap opera, I'm sure.

He's so big these days he would have sealed up the exit to the cave trying to get in there and everyone inside would have drowned. They should have gotten that pair of jerks who spray painted the brick wall in Chiang Mai to do some cave paintings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Prayut will probably have the last word in this film . As it's a Thai director it will be sponsored by TAT. I wonder if there will be a Hollywood production , maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
