Movie prospects have improved a lot as entered a new decade. A major change taking place in 2021: the way we watch movies has changed dramatically.

#Repost 📽 The Dig Genre- Biography/Drama The setting of WW2 (1939, Suffolk, England) and excavation at Sutton Hoo keeps the audience guessing. Is it a naïve story of Basil Brown (Ralph Fiennes) a weathered humbled down to earth uneducated man or that of a widowed estate owner Edith Pretty (Carey Mulligan) is to be questioned. Basil's instincts are more precise than a formally educated archeologist. Basil Brown’s instincts are more precise. He knows something lies underneath the earthly mounds in the vast estate of Edith Pretty (Carey Mulligan) in Suffolk. Being loyal to his master, he shows exemplary subservience in handing over the remains & artifacts of a wrecked ship, which he claims to be of Anglo-Saxon period. These belong to the rightful owner instead of being handed over to the British Museum. The dynamic interactions between Edith Pretty & Basil Brown are the best part of the narrative in the story. Carry Mulligan flawlessly plays her character in ‘The Dig’ as the determined pursuing archaeology, her childhood dream. The role is a perfect U turn from an average American in ‘Promising Young Woman’. The cinematography is in the simple landscape and supplements the narrative in its simplicity. Simone Stone’s direction is meticulous and successfully highlights the excavation at Sutton Hoo, 20th century’s biggest archeological find. He convinces that History teaches us to change our beliefs about our buried ancestors. #thedig #ralphfiennes #careymulligan #lilyjames #suttonhoo #excavator #archaeologist #archaeology #2021film #filmrecommendations #movies #moviescenes #movie #netflix #netflixuk https://www.instagram.com/p/CUGR0fSqWJt/?utm_medium=tumblr
