Films Where You Know The Ending But Still Crap Yourself Anyway

[bednobs]

I am currently watching 13 lives, the film with Vigo mortenssen and Colin Farnell doing the Thai cave rescue. It is utterly harrowing despite the fact I know the ending! Any other films like that?

I found it very interesting and informative
does it show the mistakes?

when they were pumping the water with mega pumps in real time, I wondered, I hope they are making sure it is down stream of the tunnel

they werent and the tunnel was refilling ( sort of oh come on come on you are paid to get this little detail right

// does it show the mistakes? //

no, not all of them - even the mistake that worked in favour. when they tested the air it showed lack of oxygen, it was that reading which persuaded the authorities to evacuate. however it turns out the instrument they used was uncalibrated; when they re-tested it the oxygen levels were fine. (but they neglected to tell the authorities that last bit, because it would have left the boys in there until the water dropped.....)

i don't think i realised that they were all sedated and tied up. I found those scenes very distressing.
I remember there being some talk about it at the time, but i didnt realise it was actually done. Even then i imagined some sort of waking sedation

it also left me wondering what sort of life the coach is living now- - was he a hero or vilified?

A Beautiful Mind and The Shawshank Redemption - didn't crap myself but still need a hankie or two.
