There develops a sense of community and even family surrounding the dig, mostly through Edith’s 10-year-old son Robert (Archie Barns) who looks to Basil as a father figure. Basil and Edith quickly develop a close friendship, despite their noticeable class differences, through their excitement for the dig and love of archaeology. The understated, humble, but extremely knowledgeable Basil begins very simply by laying out a trench and cutting the turf with a mattock. She enlists the help of a local amateur “excavator” Basil Brown (Ralph Fiennes) to help her reveal the mysteries of the earthworks.
#YOU HAVE FOUND THE HELM OF RAEDWALD MOVIE#
The movie recounts the efforts in 1939 of the aristocratic landowner Edith Pretty (Carey Mulligan) to investigate a series of strange mounds on her Sutton Hoo estate. The Dig channels everything about early medieval archaeology that I love: the mystery, the glamor, and even the extraordinary characters of previous generations of archaeologists that I’ve come to know through their work. When I saw that Netflix would bring me the story of the greatest early medieval discovery of the 20th century-a royal Anglo-Saxon boat burial at Sutton Hoo, Suffolk-I was beyond excited. in the subject, and a 20-year stint living in Scotland and absorbing it in my bones. Both movies led me to a fascination with the archaeology of early medieval (roughly 450–1100 AD) Britain, a Ph.D. The second was Excalibur, with its moody medieval vignettes channeling Glam Rock while echoing Sir Thomas Malory’s romantic epic Le Morte d’Arthur. The first was Raiders of the Lost Ark, which, along with my dad’s insistence that we visit every single frontier fort in Colorado and Wyoming, led me towards a lifelong love of archaeology. When I was growing up on the Front Range in the 1980s, two movies profoundly impacted my life.
Archaeologist Chris Bowles reviews the film and provides additional context to the history of the excavation and the overall discovery. Netflix released the drama film The Dig on January 29.
