Thai Cave Rescue

The acting by the boys and the mothers are excellent. Some of the dialogue is hard to digest and might have come from startrek the worse epespodes of ultruism.

It's a shame Elon Musk didn't make his cameo.

It is interesting to see the egos of the senior politicians worrying about how they might look before making decisions to rescue The videographyis excellent and the scenes done in low light is well acted as well as well recorded.

Do Not watch dubbed into English. It's so so bad

Really the dubbed English is criminal Switch the subtitles on

Enjoy listening to Thai people and seeing the surroundings of a beautiful country that I would love to visit one day and reading the translation.

I watched all these Netflix episodes to see what 13 Lives must have missed given it's much shorter running time. In the end I concluded - nothing really.

I felt 13 Lives got to the heart of the drama and its twists and turns very well. It built a better connection with the cave divers and their difficulties and dilemmas. It also showed how difficult technically the revue was. Whilst this version gives a lot more of the background to the boys themselves and their families I don't think it added to the enjoyment of watching what is a fascinating story. My advice is don't bother with these 6 episodes just watch 13 Lives.

The story delivered so many lessons, a truly inspiring and heartfelt story. Those six episodes are very compelling and wonderful to watch. This Thai-language series has a strapping seriousness of its production, consisting of different foreign cast that makes the show more captivating.

"Thai Cave Rescue" is undoubtedly makes an effort to present itself as a global production that is open to a broad audience. The limited series is set up so that the situation is established fairly quickly and the remaining episodes can then focus on the issues surrounding the rescue.

You must have also time to watch this.

I have watched 13 lives and this one. They are both great in different ways. You don't have to choose between them. Just watch them both and decide for yourself. In 13 lives I wanted to see more from inside the cave. Thai Cave Rescue delievers that. It also offers a wider perspective of all that was done to try and help the boys. Thats why I don't think you should compare it to 13 lives. 13 lives might be more accurate, but also a bit compressed. Think of Thai Cave Rescue as additional to the story.

This series gave me some hope for mankind during these dark times. But I am also sad the actor playing Coach Eak died in march 2022. RIP.

THINGS I LIKED: I've now seen all 4 of the film versions of this story because I wanted to evaluate and compare them for my movie review channel on YouTube. I thought I'd be bored watching this because I had already seen the other movies. I was completely wrong! This series shared much more information that the other films didn't. It introduces you to more people who had a huge impact on the success of the rescue, as well as shows you all of the other methods that were tried and failed, making you understand how crucial it was that the final attempt worked.

Even though I already knew the story and what was going to happen, I got teary-eyed quite a few times.

We get to learn a lot more about the boys, their families, and what they were experiencing.

We understand better why the coach knew how to meditate and why he felt inspired to teach the boys how to do it in order to remain calm and use less oxygen in the cave.

We see relationships being built by everyone involved in the story and the sacrifices that were made in the community.

We feel the complex emotions of the parents and the legal permissions that were requested of them.

We get to travel to Thailand and experience its beautiful country and people. I was touched by their humble homes and big hearts.

It's important for American audiences to see that not all heroes were from the USA.

THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: If you don't want to invest 6 hours of your life in watching this story, I highly recommend you watch the Ron Howard movie 13 Lives. It offers a condensed telling in the style of big Hollywood blockbusters.

Not all of the acting is perfect but it sure was heartfelt.

The English dubbing is pretty bad.

If you watch English captions AND listen to the dubbing, you'll be frustrated by how different the translations are.

TIPS FOR PARENTS: People are in perilous situations.

Some kids show disrespect.

Spoiler: someone dies.

Talk of drowning and death.

Lazy employees are illustrated.

THEMES: Hope Family Unity Hard work Thinking outside the box The value of human life Mother Nature Heroism Miracles The power of medicine.
