The Impossible

Very emotionally intense and solemn tone. It made me cry my first time watching it (this was at least 6 years ago). My favorite parts were when young peter parker helped reunite a family, when the old lady talks to the kids, and the ending. This movie highlights how humans will come together in the midst of disaster to survive, and how what's most important to them will drive their actions at such times. There's one character in particular who's actions elevate the tone. It's eluded to that his family is most likely dead, and he figures that he has a better chance helping the main dad character find his family instead. This dude really does take the tone to new levels of realness, and the ending shot that references him is like, woah! Also all the actors crushed it with their performances. Warning, there is at least one turn-away scene (partial nudity) and the whole movie for the most part is very intense. It is about a tsunami. Interesting symbolism and character development, even when Noone is saying anything.
