69 Days of History in a movie, worth watching for me.
I live in the United Kingdom. I used to read the newspapers and watched the BBC News about the mining accident, the families camped outside (Camp Hope), contact made with the miners (the hand written message from 'los 33'), and the 24 hour rescue using a capsule. I remembered staying up late at about between midnight to 2am here in the UK, watching the rescue on BBC News, all the way to watching the last miner coming out of the ground. I remembered the Chilean President greeting the last miner, and then they sang their national anthem.
The based-on-real-life-movie like with all other based-on-real-life-movies over the years, of course would have a few goofs, but that's acceptable in order to make a movie workable. For example, some of the rescuers did offer to go down to help los 33 go up, the last miner was never the last person out of the mine, some of the rescuers were still down there, and they were the last to come out of the ground. In that movie, Don Lucho played by Lou Diamond Philips looked like the last person out of the ground, but hey, it's just a movie.
So what if that movie may have a few bit of goofs like at the end of the movie, it is worth it watching, to get to see what the 69 days was like in a couple of hours. Worth watching, squeeze the 69 days into a two hours movie, bring back memories of watching it on the news.
