The Impossible
It followed the main conventions of a thriller film;
- Based on a real life situation: The 2004 Boxing Day tsunami
- Portrayed a journeys of characters development: A British family caught in the center of it all
- A dramatic story line that brings the audience in emotionally: A split family trying to find each other amidst the wreckage
In this section of the film, its opening up the storyline. A family leave for christmas and travel to Thailand. Unaware of anything wrong, they spend the first few days relaxing, as the audience know whats about to happen, the tension is really big as we're waiting for the moment.
This is the point where the action happens. We see the tsunami hit and all calm is gone. The visuals are really amazing, and it looks really real.
At this point the tsunami has hit and its all pretty downhill from here.
Without saying too much or giving spoilers, the film was amazing, and followed the main conventions, as listed above, of a thriller along with drama and action.
The film was also part of the Toronto Film Festival Official Selection.
