Five stars!! Thumbs up!! This was the feeling when I first watched this spectacular film. Well, for a genuine movie fan like me,,, The Impossible is really a breathtaking and heart-felt. The splendid plot and outstanding, skillful casts and production, no wonder, they did win a lot of prestige awards world wide.
Lets bring out the major purpose of this entry,
Every true story portrayed their own moral values which could teach us about life and brace us to become better.
The Impossible had taught me what a real generosity was. The Bennetts was on a foreign country which is so different in so many ways. When the tsunami hit, local people were the most affected by the current. Also, they were determined to help the outsiders and striving for others survival. People who totally didn't know them, spent hours to help searching their families.
Their human spirit was far beyond measure when they were willing to face the aftermath of the disaster once again in order to find their other family who had been separated by the waves. The strong bonds between the family members and the love that keep them close, forced them to become stronger. Besides, the massive tragedy had put people into the same level. They assisted each other without concerning their conditions and surroundings. Because of humanity, people become united and worked as one though held in a merciless pain. In this critical situation, they brought out the best in them for others sake. Any aids in this state, would be valued more than we think. People face a lot of difficulties in life and be strong is an ultimate choice.
For those who haven't watch this film, I hope the movie summary and trailer wouldn't be a spoiler for you. However, it's great to watch and learn about the historical event which had cause a great loss to lot of people. The tsunami itself is terrifically realised with Mother Nature's fury portrayed in all its indiscriminate fury. Every thing that happen come with reasons and Allah S.W.T knows the best.
