Hello ONTD!
I watched The Dig this weekend. While watching it, I first thought “I wonder why a movie like this is being shown right now. It seems so irrelevant and random.” And then I realized that was the whole point of the movie!!! A meta plot twist!!
The movie was all about how what appears redundant and irrelevant at first can actually be important in its own right! Just like the making of this movie!! I’m sure there is a term for this type of story-telling but I just don’t know it. Does anyone know?

DEJA VIEW: History buffs will dig 'The Dig' | Lifestyles

For those of you who like movies of this ilk, usually British, period pieces usually set in the first half of the 20th century (or before), that deal with history (think archaeology), then âThe Digâ is for you. Throw in some cracker jack actors like Ralph Fiennes, Carey Mulligan and Lily James, stream it on Netflix and wait for the buzz.
In 1939, Mrs. Edith Pretty (Mulligan) decided to hire an archaeologist to investigate, that is, dig into what looked to be burial mounds located on her Suffolk estate. She hired a man who came highly recommended, a self-taught archaeologist/excavator named Basil Brown (Fiennes). He demanded a higher salary than the one he had been paid by the local Ipswich Museum, and she was persuaded to pay it. He did, after all, come highly recommended.

Netflix is SLAMMED for casting Carey Mulligan, 35, as a 56-year-old in The Dig

'Wasn't there an actor of the correct age?' Netflix is slammed for casting Carey Mulligan, 35, as a 56-year-old in The Dig – as fans claim ‘women over 40 are invisible’ to movie makers
The Dig is based on John Preston's 2007 novel about the unearthing of the Anglo-Saxon ship burial at Sutton Hoo in 1939
Screen star Carey, 35, plays 56-year-old landowner Edith Pretty - a role originally intended for Nicole Kidman, 53 - in the movie
Viewers took to Twitter to question the network's decision, with one claiming: 'women over 40 are still invisible in the culture'
Director Simon Stone has previously defended the thespian's portrayal of Edith, who passed away aged 59 after suffering a stroke in 1942

Netflix brought the historic and wonderful story of the the Sutton Hoo treasure find to screen this month in The Dig. The little-known story of excavator Basil Brown has entranced viewers, but the portrayal of one of Britain’s top female archeologists has left some people feeling a little sour. In particular, archeologist Rebecca Wragg Sykes recently explained that the historical figure was actually “highly experienced” in her work, rather than the clumsy character shown in the movie.

The Dig is a film to treasure | Apollo Magazine

Try finding a gentler escape from winter in a pandemic than spending 112 minutes in Suffolk’s waterways and sun-yellowed grasslands, the setting of
The Dig, a tale of buried treasure, romance and heroism. Directed by Simon Stone and based on a novel by John Preston, the film dramatises the true discovery in 1939 by Basil Brown and Edith Pretty of the richest medieval grave to be found in Europe to date.
History tells us that Mrs Pretty, an amateur archaeologist, owned a tract of land in Sutton Hoo beside the River Deben. Intrigued by a grassy archipelago of mounds on the land, she employed the services of local excavator Basil Brown to see what, if anything, they might yield. When Brown discovered the vast imprint of an early medieval ship in the soil of the largest, the significance of the excavation became clear. Archaeologists were sent by the British Museum and, together with Brown, unearthed a breath-taking array of treasures, including a golden belt buckle, golden shoulder clasps inlaid with garnet cloisonné, remnants of a helmet decorated with dagger-toothed dragons and a silver bowl all the way from Byzantium. The ship was datable to the early seventh century and full of clues as to the culture and sophistication of its makers. This was surely the grave of a warrior king (the now-disputed ‘Anglo-Saxon’ is used throughout the film), belonging to one of the Germanic tribes to have come to Britain in the ‘Dark Ages’, a term that was coming to seem less and less appropriate. But no body was found. It is believed that the acidic Suffolk soil consumed the remains long ago. Now the artefacts are displayed in Room 41 of the British Museum, along with contemporary photographs and excerpts from Basil Brown’s meticulous archaeological notes.
