The Impossible

Its a beautiful, powerful story about family and luck. SPOILER ALERT --> I cried at every scene that they found each other because if you had a family you would understand that relief and joy of being reunited with your loved ones after a cataclysmic event. And you yourself would want to be counted as one of the lucky ones and have your family come out of such an event whole and intact, without loss. I felt sorry for those who were the unlucky ones. And they went that over a little in the end with all those crying people discovering their loved one was deceased. The movie didn't delve too much on them, nor did the movie touch much about the effect on the Thai natives. And I did sense the westernization of that country with foreigners enjoying the things that to them would be cheap, but unaffordable to the Thai natives. I was a little bothered by that because it bordered on exploitation of the virgin lands. Its like some rich westerner or Chinese person thought to profit from the seeming paradise of untouched wilderness and beaches. It would be expensive for regular people in third world countries to vacation in Europe and enjoy the lifestyle of German natives, that sort of thing. And Europeans and the Chinese ruined and polluted their lands, and are now westerners are trying to reverse its effects, which is slightly redeeming. Anyway, like I said earlier the movie wasn't about that, it was about family. The scenery and effects were beautiful, plot moved smoothly, and the acting was superb. Im a fan of McGregor and I thought his chemistry with Kidman was warm. You can feel their chemistry. That kid from the new Spiderman is in this movie, except he's younger because this is an older movie. But boy that kid can act like a pro with serious acting chops! He's so natural! His siblings were great too. Wow, they did a great job. You can feel the emotions, believe them and relate to them. This is an excellent movie, so watch it. :D

Thank you for reading in advanceThe Impossible (Spanish: Lo Imposible) is a 2012 English-language Spanish disaster drama film directed by J. A. Bayona and written by Sergio G. Sánchez. It is based on the experience of María Belón and her family in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. It features INternational cast Naomi Watts, Ewan McGregor and Tom Holland.A natural disaster Movie it sometimes only as good as its set design and at the risk of being aloof I must say: ‘’The Impossible’ simply blows theirs out of the water. Every moment is immersive and feels dangerously interactive, and the environment always matches the moods and tones of the various characters that they are trying to portray. The surroundings are as confusing as one can expect and more chaotic than some people can imagine; This accurate representation of Destruction and imminent death will follow you long after this film's conclusion.It goes without saying that the emotional pull this film depends on to keep its audience's attention is inevitable and unwavering. The acting is nothing short of incredible - it has the kind of force that grabs a hold and does not let go. There are so many moments where the audience is as unsure about certain situations in the same way the characters are, and that is both suspenseful and an unexpected source of empathy. I want to add that despite this conclusion being presented as one of the most optimistic and happy endings that one can expect, This film gives due respect to those that were not as fortunate during and after this event. We are constantly reminded that for every life that was saved in the rescue efforts there were individuals that died, individuals that sustained life-threatening injuries, and families that were left to mourn their loved ones.All efforts were made in filming to be as accurate as possible in telling María Belón’s story; Belón even personally chose Naomi Watts to play as her in the film, And she worked closely with this film’s screenwriter to make sure all the important details remained intact. Belón now works diligently as an advocate For those still recovering from the effects of this and other tsunamis; She has said of her experience:“I embrace life. My whole life is extra time. There is no difference between me—a Spanish woman named María who is alive—and thousands of moms who are under the sea. I do not deserve to be alive, but life is not fair. I feel pain and compassion for so many others who didn't come back up or lost the ones they love. My whole story is on my body. And it is wonderful because it means I am alive.”Unbelievable and absolutely remarkable: I would recommend!
