Ron Howard’s ‘Thirteen Lives’ focused on Thai stories in the cave rescue movie

The aim of “Thirteen Lives,” a dramatization of the 2018 rescue from a flooded cave complex in northern Thailand, was to convey the tale from the viewpoint of the native Thai people. In order to portray the tale of the rescue of a juvenile soccer team and their coach, filmmaker Ron Howard designed it as an ensemble piece with a tiny cast made up of many individuals in addition to the individual heroes who finally made it happen. The amazing rescue was a result of the individual acts of bravery performed by everyone engaged, most of whom were Thai.

The movie, which is now available on Amazon Prime and in a few theatres, tells the tale of how the villagers assisted the rescue effort by diverting rainwater from the mountain above and farmers flooding their paddy fields to receive the water, even though doing so meant losing their livelihoods. Throughout this, the parents remained steadfast in their commitment to maintaining their faith.

Raymond Phathanavirangoon, a Thai co-producer, told NBC Asian America that Howard was very clear from the start that he intended to make a movie that Thai people viewing would consider Thai. The easiest solution, according to him, was to make sure that he had Thai individuals working in front of and behind the camera to help him create the tone, feel, and details that a Thai audience would know and appreciate. Phathanavirangoon, who joined initially as a consultant and then as a co-producer, claimed that they “never really had a dialogue about it.” “This is simply the way that we’d do things, it was just kind of assumed,”

While the tale does focus on the divers—Viggo Mortensen, Colin Farrell, and Joel Edgerton—”Thirteen Lives” notably highlights the massive amount of teamwork engaged in the rescue attempt, particularly among the locals. In a behind-the-scenes film, Howard proclaimed, “I tried to be as journalistic as I possibly could be.” The fact that Thai people saved these guys is one of the things I wanted to emphasize. Alongside Phathanavirangoon, Howard said in a different behind-the-scenes video: This narrative is both a Thai story and one that is set in Thailand.

In order to avoid being trapped within the Tham Luang cave complex after it was inundated by early monsoon rains on June 23, 2018, a soccer coach and 12 lads from northern Thailand, ranging in age from 11 to 16, went exploring. Before being discovered by two British volunteer cave divers, Rick Stanton and John Volanthen, the crew had been living in the dark without food for nine days.

60,000 people from Thailand and other nations across the world—the bulk of them volunteers—participated in the rescue, which lasted 17 nights and captured the attention of the whole world. After being drugged and carried 2.5 kilometers, unconscious and submerged, out of the cave system by a relay team of international divers and Royal Thai Navy SEALs, the crew was eventually rescued.
