Palatkik Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 The Cave [2019] There were two films out in 2019 with this title, both now available online to download, the other a documentary about Syria, this the Thai drama based on the book The Miracle Of The Cave relating the true story of the youth football team trapped in a flooded Thai cave. As Thai movies go its just an okay summary of events, slapped together in a sloppy chronological fashion, with terribly wooden acting, especially from the low budget foreigners used. A global story of this magnitude of the period really deserves a world class screenplay in time to come perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palatkik Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 The Cave [2019] Danish-Syrian NatGeo award winning documentary highlights well the harsh realities of the work of some female doctors in an underground Syrian hospital bunker (the Cave) whilst the Russians and Syrian government bomb the heck out of the civilians above ground. Heavy going but worth seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palatkik Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Colette [2018] Good period drama biopic with good performances celebrates the bisexual French writer and mime artist Colette who began as a ghost writer for her manipulative and loser husband. Previously the story was told in the 1991 movie Becoming Colette, but this newer take provides a more sophisticated result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coss Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Resistance (2020) The story of a group of Jewish Boy Scouts who worked with the French Resistance to save the lives of ten thousand orphans during World War II. (IMDB) --- This movie is very much better than it first appears, in fact I'd go so far as to suggest that it is, an important movie of our time. I could give you a number of very compelling reasons to watch it, but to do so would spoil the enjoyment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
