Thomas and Simon screaming Lucas at the end is an instant tear jerker for me every time

"How many people died?" "I dunno, I would guess probably at least 5-600..." oh my sweet summer child... Over a quarter of a million people died in this tsunami. 227,000+. The death toll and destruction is literally something you can't even properly wrap your head around, it is mind boggling. The fact that all 5 members of this one family survived, let alone the 2 very young children, is absolute insanity.

I cry so much at this one every time! The real life woman this is based on is amazing…she wrote about how she should have died that day, and there is no reason other than luck that she didn’t. She talks about how every day since this is a gift and borrowed time. Her perspective is so inspiring.

27:42 227,898 people died. 167,540 in Indonesia alone. Absolutely insane disaster

As someone who survived this tsunami I think the movie showed such a realistic view of how it was. How the tsunami itself isn't the end of the hardship and you have to try and survive after as well in a hostile landscape. The terror of not knowing where your loved ones are. Everything is destroyed, all the infrastructure gone and many people were stranded on small islands not knowing how to get out. Injured people left to nothing but kind natives who just lost everything but still gave so much. No food, no money, no roads, no boats. Finally being rescued from the catastrophe site but just ending up in an overfilled hospital with most of their supplies gone, tons of bodies everywhere and just hearing the screams from people having procedures done without anasthesia or from people who lost loved ones.

One thing that always gets me about this movie is Lucas' reactions to seeing his mom so messed up in the hospital. There is something so terrifying about being a kid and watching the person who has an almost godlike position in your life completely break down. That's the person who takes care of you, and having those roles reversed is super traumatic.

What got me was watching the mother and the son just quickly let go of their "safe" place immediately when they saw/heard each other. They were not focused on their own safety but the other's.

My mom took us to the movies to see a rom-com called impossible love or something like that . So, the movie begins and my dad and I were like "yaay cool family vacation" and then this giant wave comes out of nowhere and all this terrible things are happening, im sobbing my eyes out and im like "mom.. i dont think we are in the right room".

The vomiting scene...as gross as it is, makes sense to me. Those women (and everyone who was hit) were forced underwater for a long time. They swallowed a lot of stuff. What they brought up was a bunch of junk they swallowed. Not pretty, but definitely realistic.

I still remember reading the story of model Petra Nemcova, who was also in Thailand with her boyfriend when the tsunami hit. She sustained multiple injuries and clung to a tree for hours in order to survive, but unfortunately her boyfriend died in the disaster. Natural disasters cause such profound loss and devastation, but people's resiliency and ability to overcome tragedy is truly amazing and inspiring.

Rob : 😢 Zuff : “wow these kids are just built for a tsunami” Rob : 🥲 Lmao we all need a Zuff to ease the tension

This film actually hits so hard knowing it’s a true story. I was sobbing throughout Tom Holland performance at his young age truly showing his talent I have seen him in the devil all the time as well but this performance was just different. This movie truly solidified my fear of tsunamis a great reaction as usual

my mom’s best friend was on his honeymoon in thailand when the tsunami hit, and watching my mom fall apart and call anyone she could to try and find him was so painful. thankfully he and his wife went up to the mountains the day before, so they were safe, but with the chaos that followed, it took a week to finally hear from them. i was only 9, but i still remember everything so vividly.

I met the real Maria some years ago. She shared her story with all of us. It was mind blowing and heartbreaking to even imagine what she was describing. Then I watched the movie and finally understood why she talked so gratefully about her family, and most of all about how God gave her the strength and faith to being alive and see her family as much as she wanted.

Ewan McGregor broke me with that phone call scene. Years later my coworker and I were discussing movies and I suggested this one. I told her about how that scene was so heartbreaking to me and she looked at me and said. " You're crying right now!" And I was. My eyes were swimming when thinking of it two years after.

the fact that this actually happened and the whole family actually survived is crazy

I know this is a traumatic movie but I actually love seeing you guys be vulnerable, it’s really nice to see because men usually act tough and strong. I mean who wouldn’t cry for what happened to all those people, it was terrible. Edit: btw 275,000 people were killed across 14 countries and 2 continents. It’s awful

This movie terrified and hit hard for me. My parents and my two siblings were there in 2003, where the tsunami hit in 2004. My brother's name is Luke. And I grew up in Japan so tsunamis were already a fear for me.

wasnt expecting this upload at all, and i should be sleeping right now, but i clicked so fast on this video 😭 its one of my fave movies, instant tears in each scene
