This Film Deserved Better from Audiences

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is one of the greatest stories of survival, tenacity, heroism, and solidarity ever put on the Silver Screen. What makes it even more astounding is that it really happened. The whole world watched as 33 Chilean miners dealt with tragedy, fear, isolation, hunger, despair, and ultimately, hope.
This is a story of real heroism in the face of the outmost dire circumstances. These men were able to stick together and tell a tale of triumph and human resilience rarely seen in human history.
From several points of view, the story quickly unravels and shows us the pain, struggle, and despair entire families, communities, and the whole Chilean nation went through during the agonizing 69 days the men were trapped 2,300 feet below ground between August and October of 2010.
An international cast lead by Antonio Banderas and Juliette Binoche bring the story to life as they effectively managed to portray ordinary people achieving the impossible; to the get the whole world to care and feel for these 33 men; to care enough to mobilize the entire world and have billions rally around television screens and billboards hoping for the best and fearing for the worst at the same time. They would have died with the whole world watching. I can only imagine what that would have done to the collective hope and faith of billions.
The 33 is definitively a film worth watching as it reminds us that though different, our differences are only skin deep, and that humanity is not lost in this seemingly growing cynical world. We learn from it that our humanity will prevails as long as we care, even if is just a a little bit.
