Thirteen Lives

[Nora03]

We watched this movie last night and it was fascinating. It’s about the twelve boys and their soccer coach who were trapped in a flooded cave in Thailand in 2018. We learned a lot more than we knew about what really happened. It’s well worth watching and kudos to those brave rescuers. I won’t give any spoilers.

There is a documentary on Disney+ about this that is worth watching.

We watched it last weekend as well and enjoyed it. I remember when the incident was in the news, and had a general idea of the story, but didn’t know the details.

The tremendous scope of the rescue effort, and the way in which the boys and their coach were brought out of the cave was truly remarkable. An amazing example of human tenacity. The team of rescuers are real heroes. I am sure even filming it was very difficult for the actors and crew. Great job by Ron Howard.

The movie sounds interesting. I'll have to look for it.

In the meantime, this story was on the news last night. It reminded me so much of those boys trapped in the cave. It's of a dog found trapped in a cave.

Everyone, get your tissues out. It ends happily.

I don’t know if I can watch it. I felt so claustrophobic during that whole case. I might give it a try this weekend, though.

I don’t know if I can watch it. I felt so claustrophobic during that whole case.

Same here. BTW I saw a segment on the making of this movie and the principle actors did their own underwater scenes. Knowing that even makes me kind of edgy.
