I generally don't care for dramatizations of real life events, or let's say, I go into them cautiously. This is because they usually distort the events substantially, or are so poorly executed.
This movie? Wow. Really incredible. Directed by Ron Howard, great acting by all, true to the events, and shows the culture, faith, and sacrifice of the people of Thailand. It also shows the beauty of the service of those who were not even called upon, but volunteered.
Sometimes, humans are really great. <3
