The Impossible (2012) - REACTION
Added 2024-02-28 00:29:55 +0000 UTCPeople asked me to react to this film after watching Society of the Snow because the director, J.A. Bayona, directed both movies. I knew I was in for a rough, emotional ride but I didn't expect to sob my whole way through the movie. From the 20 minute mark, I was a goner. This film was harrowing, emotional, terrifying, jaw-dropping, inspiring and did I already say, EMOTIONAL? I've never cried so hard at a film before in my life, it was ruthless. Tears upon tears upon tears. Wow, I adored it but I don't think I'll ever watch it again. It crushed me.

my nana was in the maldives, luckily she was up high and the maldives waves didn’t hit above 4 meters- i cannot imagine how south asia felt on that day watching their homes be swept away

Like he is only 6 or so but the younger one is only like 3 so he has to be the strong one 😢

2024-02-29 13:42:25 +0000 UTCI really appreciate the fact that they cast the correct nationalities for the tourists. It would’ve been easy to cast English speaking actors and have them put on an accent - but hearing real accents and languages made the film realistic and added to the horror of it all. Also happy with the Swedish rep in both Daniel and the Bernström family, considering the fact that Swedes were one of the biggest tourist groups affected by the tsunami. Btw, the first time I watched this I was on a plane flying over the Indian Ocean, you can imagine how well that went :)

2024-02-28 16:39:45 +0000 UTCCould not agree more. I thought every scene was needed, nothing overstayed it's welcome, no moment dragged and every character / actor was used to their best ability to drive the story forward. It's truly one of the best yet most horrific films I've ever watched!! 😖
