23 Sept 03:26 Key points summarised by AI

Ron Howard's "Thirteen Lives" masterfully recreates the Tham Luang cave rescue, immersing viewers in the intense, claustrophobic experience despite the known outcome.
The film excels with stunning underwater cinematography and a script that highlights the collective human spirit and the immense, near-impossible challenges of the rescue mission.
Strong performances, notably from Viggo Mortensen and Colin Farrell who performed their own demanding cave diving stunts, significantly elevate the film's realism and emotional impact.
"Thirteen Lives" reveals previously undisclosed details of the rescue, offering new insights and making it a powerful, thrilling, and deeply emotional viewing experience even for those familiar with the event.

"Bright at Midnight" marks the first institutional exhibition in Asia of Dutch conceptual artist Bas Jan Ader, showcasing his enigmatic work at Bangkok Kunsthalle until January 10, 2027.
The exhibition delves into Ader's legacy, exploring themes of vulnerability and the ephemeral, made more poignant by his 1975 disappearance at sea during an art project.
It encourages viewers to engage with art beyond its material form, featuring key pieces like "Thoughts unsaid, Then forgotten," "Light vulnerable objects threatened by eight cement bricks," and the haunting film "Launch of the Ocean Wave."
A highlight is the planned live transformation of "Light vulnerable objects threatened by eight cement bricks" in 2026, where ropes will be cut, creating a new layer of art from the destructive impact.
The exhibition challenges conventional art consumption, advocating for a deeper appreciation of conceptual and research-driven artistic practices over mere fascination with art as an asset class.
