Wonderful Non-Superhero, Non-Franchise Film

Remember when studios used to make movies like this? Interesting story, quality script, and acting that wasn't 99% green screen. Movies like Rain Man, Shawshank Redemption, The Social Network, Moneyball, etc.

The Dig is great storytelling with a timeless message. It's the kind of movie the whole family can watch and enjoy. It teaches the value of perseverance and reminded me of the Tolstoy quote...The strongest of all warriors are these two -- Time and Patience.

My favorite scene was when Mr. Brown is trying to console Robert about his mother's illness. Robert feels like he's failed her and Mr. Brown tells him...We all fail. Every day. There are some things we just can't succeed at...no matter how hard we try.

I'm grateful Netflix, Amazon, and Annapurna are producing films like these that the major studios seem to have largely abandoned.

Food in Films: Loved the scene where the snobbish Phillips is asking Mr. Brown to plead his case to Mrs. Pretty for sending the treasure to the British Museum and Brown simply offers him a piece of cake..Have some lemon drizzle cake, Mr. Phillips. It is most refreshing.
