Survival genre
Nov. 14th, 2022 02:13 amCouple of bad pain days; lots of pain in my mouth and jaw especially.
I watched recently:
Alive - scripted movie about the Andes plane crash survival story. This was just OK and I liked the podcast better.
Sully - scripted movie about the "miracle on the Hudson", a safe water landing of a passenger airplane. I really enjoyed this! It's well made and a good story.
Enola Holmes 2 - Lots of fun. Millie Bobbie Brown is very entertaining as bold, adventurous Enola. There was a little bit of weird stuff about race (or rather the lack of acknowledgement of race). This is on Netflix.
I also watched, on youTube, a documentary about the Gimli Glider. This is a true story about a passenger airplane that the pilot landed safely after both engines stopped due to lack of fuel. Everyone lived, minor injuries only.
If you, like me, enjoy these kind of survival and rescue stories, I came up with a list for a friend. These are a mix of true and fictional.
127 Hours - hiker trapped in a canyon.
The 33 - miners survive a mine collapse, everyone lives.
The Martian
Apollo 13
Cast Away
Extreme Rescues - show on Hulu, just a few episodes with a variety of situations.
The Rescue - documentary about the Thai cave rescue.
Thirteen Lives - scripted story about that rescue.
What other ones do you know about?
