Mondays I try to dig up a movie that I liked that may have passed you by. So today:
THE IMPOSSIBLE
Directed by J.A. Bayona
Screenplay by Sergio G. Sanchez
Story by Maria Belon
Starring Naomi Watts; Ewan McGregor; and Tom Holland
The story of a family of tourist Maria (Watts); Henry (McGregor); and their three children in Thailand who get caught in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami destruction and aftermath as the family gets separated.
If you have not seen this film...WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??!! Yes you already know the ending because the family told their story but still it is an exciting real life adventure.
The special effects are outstanding and scary. The acting is fantastic with Naomi Watts getting a nomination for her role. Also Tom Holland as the oldest son almost steals the film.
This film has been criticized by being racist and only showing whites and their story. I disagree, I think it shows people of all color helping each other out in a awful situation. It shows the best of humanity.
4 out of 5 stars for The Impossible. It is 114 minutes that fly by, filled with excitement, sadness, and love. Move it to the top of your Netflix Queue.
From the shadows as always thanks for your time!!
