"Thirteen Lives" (2022) Directed by Ron Howard
It’s hard to believe that it’s just four short years ago that this staggering story captured the world’s imagination, worry, despair and prayers as twelve teenage junior footballers and their coach were trapped inside the Tham Luang Cave in Thailand amid the rising water of the incessant rain that flooded large sections of the cave. Four years! From horrific and hellish headlines to Hollywood box office, and this film, expertly helmed by Ron Howard, is indeed box office. Spoilers aside as per normal, this cinematic re-creation of a heartrending story and “Based on Actual Events” written by William Nicholson and Don MacPherson, is predominantly in the original Thai language and this is only broken by the introduction of the “Western” volunteer crew who plan and attempt a near impossible rescue, and English is only ever sporadically employed from thereon in. As the rain falls, day after day, and with hope slowly being replaced by a world’s media eager for a story, cue our rescue crew with varying degrees of appalling English accents!
