"The ball was yellow and in the film it is red," says Belon, referring to one of her son's Christmas gifts. On the plane, Lucas tells his mother he knows Daniel is safe. "It's not to say that if you didn't have children you wouldn't be able to still act [in the role of] a parent, of course you could, that's our job as actors. Maria looks out the window at the chaos left behind.The film was a co-production of Spanish film companies Apaches Entertainment and Telecinco Cinema, and employed much of the crew from The Orphanage, including the director, writer, production manager, cinematographer, composer, and editor. It is based on the experience of María Belón and her family in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
I was looking around thinking maybe this is just in my mind. Henry walks past Maria's ward, and she appears to recognize his shadow against the curtain of her ward, but is too weak to call out. My whole life is extra time.”Aside from Clint Eastwood’s underpowered Hereafter, the legacy of 2004’s Boxing Day tsunami has yet to get the film it deserves... until now.A sensory overload of emotion and spectacle, The Impossible is a disaster movie much, much better than the usual overblown fare pumped out by Hollywood.Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts are Henry and Maria who, with their three sons, journey to Thailand for a Christmas getaway.Of course, their holiday turns into a nightmare when the tsunami comes crashing into their resort on December 26, leaving them battered, bruised and scattered.As the relief effort gets underway, Maria and her eldest, Lucas (an impressive Tom Holland), struggle to survive while attempting to discover the fate of Henry and the twins.While it’s based on the true story of a Spanish family, director Juan Antonio Bayona hasn’t been afraid to tweak the facts to maximise the drama.Just go with it, however, and you’ll enjoy an intensely emotional disaster movie.The tsunami itself is terrifically realised with Mother Nature’s fury portrayed in all its terrifying, indiscriminate fury.As the waves recede, the family’s horrifying situation is realistically captured by Watts and McGregor, who are better than they’ve been in a long time.Scenes capturing the pair in an overstretched, blood-marked hospital are profoundly moving, while a sequence where Henry phones home will choke you up.You can accuse the film of having a thin storyline, and later episodes where the family keep missing one another despite being in the same spot are overdone, but it earns a whole lot of points for its realism and technical craft.When you subscribe we will use the information you provide to send you these newsletters.
At the hospital, Maria encourages Lucas to help others find their family members while she goes into surgery for her chest injuries.Meanwhile, Henry, Thomas and Simon have also survived and are together. I was a blind person and now I see clearly."
You forget about yourself completely.
They help a young boy, Daniel, from the wreckage and are soon found by locals who transfer them to a local hospital in the city of Takua Pa. Daniel is separated from them during the journey. Now, as the death toll rises rapidly in the aftermath of the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the heavily injured mother must summon up the courage to stay alive with her elder son, while, at the same time, a desperate father and his two young kids must do everything in their power to track them down. Bayona committed to working with real water rather than a computer-generated wave because he wanted the story to be authentic. 1 and made $5,768,184 with a per-cinema average of $9,098. When I was up the tree, bleeding very heavily with very deep wounds, I could feel the dying process. McGregor, meanwhile, gives one of his best performances as the sad and desperate Henry, trying to play the hero, the provider, while knowing his cause is almost certainly lost.” About the film, he added: “Part of the appeal of this affecting and powerful drama is that it puts the viewer right in the moment at every stage, using authentic locations and tsunami survivors to hammer home the reality of this tragedy.”Eric Kohn of IndieWire gave the film a “B-” grade and stated that the film “suffers from the greater problem of emphasising a feel-good plot within the context of mass destruction.”According to The New York Times reviewer A. O. Scott, this narrowly-defined cinematic framing of the disaster through European and not Thai lenses represents “a troubling complacency and a lack of compassion in The Impossible,” a movie which he found to be “less an examination of mass destruction than the tale of a spoiled holiday.”Simon Jenkins, a British survivor from Portsmouth, wrote to The Guardian, stating the film is “beautifully accurate”.
Henry promises Maria’s father he will look everywhere for his family and that he will find them.
