Here’s the synopsis for The Impossible:
A terrifying and emotional story based on one family’s experience of the 2004 tsunami, THE IMPOSSIBLE is a compelling account of perseverance and survival in the face of unimaginable disaster and chaos.
MARIA (Naomi Watts), HENRY (Ewan McGregor) and their three sons begin their winter vacation in Thailand looking forward to a few days in tropical paradise. But on the morning of December 26th, as the family relaxes around the pool after their Christmas festivities the night before, a terrifying roar rises up from the center of the earth. As Maria freezes in fear, a huge wall of black water races across the hotel grounds toward her.
Henry grabs the two youngest boys, SIMON and THOMAS, but it’s too late: the wave smashes into him with incredible force and dislodges his grip. Maria is pushed underwater, where she is crushed and battered by debris to the brink of death. She finally surfaces in a raging black sea, which has completely submerged her three-story hotel and the surrounding landscape. Maria gasps for breath, while she tries to understand what has just happened, convinced that her family has been obliterated in the blink of an eye. But then, her eldest son, LUCAS (Tom Holland), surfaces a few meters ahead in the wild flood. Face-to-face with something unexpected and incomprehensible, she must fight against all odds for her child’s survival. And her own.
Based on a true story, THE IMPOSSIBLE is the unforgettable account of a family caught, with tens of thousands of strangers, in the mayhem of one of the worst natural catastrophes of our time. But the true-life terror is tempered by the unexpected displays of compassion, courage and simple kindness that Maria and her family encounter during the darkest hours of their lives. Both epic and intimate, devastating and uplifting, THE IMPOSSIBLE is a journey to the core of the human heart.

While I waited for my bus in Kao Lhak, I was approached by a girl with a camera and a clipboard. She asked me whether I would like to be photographed, with the change that the picture might show up in the movie “The impossible” in a scene where they show a large board of pictures of missing persons. So I’m excited if I can spot myself once the movie comes out.

I saw absolutely amazing acting by Naomi and Tom in particular, Ewan was not in some of the scenes, but what I saw will stay with me forever.
12 hour days, starting with wardrobe at 5.30am, then make up, ready to go on set by 7.30am. the camaraderie of the “extras” was a sincerely great part of the experience. finishing at 5.30pm. everyone worked very hard and were dedicated to portraying the tsunami experience with compassion and truth. my esteemed good wishes go to the director Juan Antoino Bayona for a successful Movie, it was truly amazing to watch him at work.
i like the movie
I’ve seen the movie here in the Philippines and I couldn’t help but shed tears on most of the scenes. Naomi Watts’ performance and that of her son (in the film), Lucas are quite amazing. The CGI is also unbelievable and superb. What more can I say? Congratulations to the actors, producers, technical men and the director…
