This past weekend, I watched the movie, The Impossible, with Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts. It is a movie about the worst ever recorded tsunami which hit South East Asia in 2004. The movie follows the story of a family who gets separated and is trying to find each other.
The cinematography was fantastic and really enhanced the suspense and drama of the film. Throughout the film, it cuts to black for a few seconds at a time with just sounds. The viewer never knows what's going to happen next. The camera shook a lot during the scenes of the tsunami which partially gave me a headache but it really made me scared of the tsunami. I felt as if I was really there, being swept through the water alongside the mother.
The plot line of the film kept the viewer guessing. You never know if the family will reunite, although you hope against all odds that they will. The actors are all fantastic and draw every ounce of emotion out of you.
The cinematography enhances the film so well by putting you into the actors shoes. You are trudging along in the swamp lands with the mother and boy. You are feeling the pain as the mother suffers from extreme blood loss. The culmination of the terrible things that happen make the happy things a hundred times happier. This is a very intense movie, but it is a must see!
Here is the trailer.
