On June 23, 2018, a children’s soccer team and their coach were trapped in the Thai cave of Tham Luang Nang No (Great Sleeping Lady Cave) as a result of sudden heavy rain two weeks before the soccer season. Ron Howard’s new movie is without a doubt the best work of fiction he’s made since then Accelerateswith grading metrics as well in the heart of the sea s Han Solonot so much in the weakest Hell s Hillbilly: The Elegy of the Country. In between, he tested his own vision of the documentary with photos of Pavarottithe Beatles (Eight days a weekand Spanish Chef Jose AndresFeed the world), only this year that also defined his human inclination with this exciting and emotional film. The film chronicles the highly complex rescue operation that the country’s armed forces and their underwater rescue units (Navy Seal) and countless volunteers from around the world had to perform, although it places special emphasis on the radical action, determination and resourcefulness of the four Englishmen. subs. There is no doubt that the contribution of these real and original heroes was decisive, but the film made of English and American capital did not find in them the main motive and point of interest. This does not detract from the function that conveys in its wide shots, perhaps the most disturbing part of the film, core but often underestimated values ​​such as teamwork, human solidarity, physical training as a source of health, resistance, and even faith in the forces of nature through self-control and meditation. Howard with the assistance of William Nicholson (wretched gladiator) to the script, from combining all of these aspects in this extraordinary film, as full of life as the lives of thirteen children claiming their rights, leaving behind the debate that was then aroused over whether the hundreds of children who drowned in the Mediterranean Sea provoked the same courage and determination while searching for a better life. It is here that the supernatural power of putting all technical and human resources at our disposal to address a tragic and painful situation emerges, in the same way that this species often brings out its full potential to indiscriminately and brutally exterminate others. It is the face and cross of our civilization, perfectly organized by a director as veteran as he is wise, and a top-notch technical team where only the ability to admire the work of Mortensen, Farrell and Edgerton actually moves and gives goosebumps. It is advisable to refrain from refreshing our knowledge of real events, in order to preserve all the anguish and anxiety that the film knows how to reflect so well.
