The rescue scene lacks the necessary tension

Obviously the keynote of this film is a film that promotes life rescue and care, so under the desperate and helpless environment, the human struggle of the miners under the condition of lack of food is only described in a relatively small amount of space, which is not my personal preference. Comparatively speaking, I prefer the technique of "127 Hours", which uses a lot of space to describe the psychological activities of despair and helplessness. Of course, if this film is like this, it may not be able to show the glory of rescue activities well. Up. I think the biggest flaw in this film is the target theme. The director did not express the tension of the ground rescue very well. Instead, he created some relaxed plots, such as the cheerful background music at the beginning of the rescue stage. The rescued place went to classes in an orderly manner, and the women were cooking food with a relaxed expression. Obviously, the rescue is just getting started, and even the key issue of where the shelter is located has not yet been determined, how easy it will be. Perhaps only the singing, dancing, and optimistic attitude of the Chilean people in South America can explain this.

    There's something wrong with the pacing, the narrative isn't refreshing, and the conflict isn't strong enough. It should have been a high-profile theme to examine the warm and cold world, but it was embarrassed to shoot a vague suspicion of licking shoes for the Chilean Ministry of Mines.

    Heartwarming. Based on the real Chilean miner miracle. Objectively speaking, the filming of this film is relatively ordinary and thin. Even if the dramatic conflict has been deliberately created, the subject matter is good and the actors are well chosen, so I can still get my four-star evaluation.
