The Dig is a 2021 film based on a true story about the discovery of Sutton Hoo. It stars Ralph Fiennes. These based-on-a-true-story films aren't usually my thing, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I watched it on Netflix.

DeleteIn my watch list but haven't gotten to it yet. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's worth watching :)
DeleteSounds interesting .But why is it subtitled in English?
ReplyDeleteMost things seem to have subtitles, but those can be turned off.
DeleteI checked what Wikipedia had on this dig that I had never heard of before. It was a fascinating read. I wonder if this film will ever make it to cable TV?
ReplyDeleteAh, cable... Do you get any tv at all without it? We get 5 over-the-air tv channels, so really just don't need cable.
DeleteI loved this movie and if Rick wants to see it, I'll happily watch it again. Later I checked the historical references and they did a pretty good job, considering what all they had to juggle.
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting to read the history and see how faithful they managed to be.
