is adapted from real events. "Rescue from the Center of the Earth" is based on the life and death rescue of 33 miners in a Chilean mine accident. What is presented is a miracle about life. Inevitably, it is a little bit like the appearance of Hollywood movies, but the respect and sincere emotions about life are still so touching.

Miners are an indisputable vulnerable group. They not only work hard, but also face the danger of their lives all the time. At the beginning, "Rescue" uses a peaceful beauty about love and family and the darkness when the miners go deep into the ground. In stark contrast, the sudden mine disaster, the predicament of being trapped in a shelter, and the unremitting rescue of the family and the government on the ground, the two clues go hand in hand and complement each other, and the race against death has become a film that can be closely linked in the first half of the film. The tension of the overhang lies, and after the drill drilled through the shelter, the plot began to appear waterloo, and turned into a representational form of film.


The adaptation of real events has indeed laid a solid emotional foundation for the film, but the director's poor control of the group of 33 miners trapped in the ground makes the film's capture of emotional elements superficial, many of which could have had enough tension Dramatic scenes are often skipped in movies, such as before the mine disaster. Miners who only care about interests and ignore potential safety hazards, such as the cold and drunken attitude of the miners towards their mothers in the mine disaster, such as the spirit of the captain who was the last safety engineer to walk out of the shelter, the movie is based on these reflections on the dark side and the conclusion of positive energy , it is just like a script, so that the true story of the original, and can not be the best sublimation in the movie.

Different from the blind depression and cruelty of previous disaster films, in this film, warmth has become the most powerful emotion in the film. When deep underground, everyone faces only a 1% chance of being rescued. A sanctuary fantasy or a dinner party with a family or a lover is about revealing sincere emotions in a heartwarming way. It also presents the optimistic and hopeful national characteristics of the people of Chile, the most developed country in South America. After 68 days, 33 miners were finally rescued one by one. At the end, the family cried with joy, no doubt witnessing the miracle of life.


This is a movie that is not the same as the cold disaster movie. Because of the miracle of life, it is moved. Because of the warmth of the cohesion, life has never been lonely.
