"The Impossible" movie reaction paper

Earth Science Reaction Paper “THE IMPOSSIBLE”

“OHANA” means Family and Family means nobody gets left behind…
This saying really corresponds with the movie I watched. No matter how and where life gets us, our blood types are forever our blood types. We can never resist anything when it comes to our family. Through ups and downs, we are one. For me, it was entitled “The Impossible” because despite of being at the much unexpected tragedy, one family still survived in the end. While I was watching this movie, I was glad that they’re really happy and excited to have their vacation and relax in Thailand. We all know that sometimes we need those things to get chilled. Everything were in place when the worst part happened. That Tidal wave or Tsunami came and ruin everyone’s happiness… To be honest, my face was like a combination of sadness and anger. It is because of how a large wave came and ruined every little thing. Those people who were so happy enjoying their vacation were left nothing but a very tragic place. Waves are crashing them until some people wouldn’t be able to survive that time. Thailand was once seen with a very nice view, spots and great animals which attract the people having their vacation but after the wave, everything turned to disaster. My brows look confused and were not in place while I was watching those people suffering and also the place. Some are at the top of the trees but they didn’t escape the wave due to another wave that came and made those trees lay. I was expecting that no one will ever survive from that tragedy but there I saw a hand goes up from the water and knew that there was one person left and did not drown or crashed by the wave. She was the mother of the family that I was talking about earlier. Then there goes her son who went up from under the water. They helped each other in order to get away from the wave until they reached a place where the water was not deep anymore. I was touched by what her son did to her wound. Also, when they heard a voice that looks like another member of their family but it was not. They were not sure of it at first but they tried looking for it despite of their situation. They said, “what if that person who was trying to ask for help was them? Will some people help them if they can’t even do it first? “ They tried looking for the heard voice and found a little boy who can’t find his parents. They were such very good person by taking the child with them until that boy found his own family. I didn’t cry because the mother was in a critical case due to her wounds and loss of blood. I cried when they found every member of their family. It was from such a very tragic event and we couldn’t think that they would still survive or be a complete family again. What was good about this family that was said was their faith that they are still hoping that they will still meet each other and they did. No one would expect them to survive and go home together from that very tragic event. They were so strong to give their best not to give up from looking every member of their family. We can never control those calamities that would happen around us but we will always survive it if we put our trust to God and give every best of each to reach a goal. Just like this said family who never left anyone because family are like branches of the tree, we all grow in different directions yet our roots remain as one.

It was impossible to get everything done and the love of a family is the greatest blessing …

    The storytelling technique made use by Cameron in the film Titanic is special because history and fiction is inculcated within the plot. For example, Cameron made use of the history of RMS Titanic as the main plot of the film. But he was aware of the fact that mere history of a cruise ship will not satisfy the global viewers. So, he decided to inculcate fiction and romance to the main plot. Parisi (1998), states that “Cameron’s gift was to create a unique movie going experience, one audiences couldn’t get from any other film” (202). One can easily identify that inculcation of fiction and romance is helpful for the director to be free from portraying a film from historical perspective. At the same time, the historical…

    In the movie Unbroken directed by Angelina Jolie, there are many obvious differences from the actual factual events that took place. A lot of important details about Louis Zamperini’s life were left out in the movie. There are many reasons for this, which are arguably very important. The three biggest things that were left out of the movie are, the realization that Louis came to about his faith in God, Japanese guards actually treated Louis very well when he first was captured, and Louis actually came face to face with Adolf Hitler. All three of these things were left out of the movie for specific reasons, which Hollywood thought would boost ratings and amount of viewers.…

    • 4 Pages

    Based solely on the novel of Divergent a movie was made lasting two hours and nine minutes. This isn't a short span of time for a movie yet, could it be pure coincidence that they left out some details. Could it have been some of the effects were to gruesome for a film rated PG-13? Or were these actions of leaving the details out more purposeful? Does it give the movie somewhat of a different meaning than the original script of the book? So it brings into question, who wrote it better the writer of the novel Veronica Roth, or the director of the film Neil Burger?…

    Our designated skipper started up the engine welcoming us aboard. Everything was calm as we glided across the water. The atmosphere was peaceful, the sun was shining, our skipper/tour-guide was being comical, and I felt hope well up inside me. As we moved further along, the waters became murky and grim. The waves were no longer steady, but crashed against our boat, spraying me in the face with salt water. My heart began to race and my cheeks flared. I still don’t know if the salt I tasted was from the water or the tears that I shed. Our commentator then led us to a boat house. The doors closed behind us as we were engulfed in total darkness, nothing but the sound of my heartbeat and the waves lapping against the boat. I shut my eyes and prayed that nothing was lurking in its mysterious…

    We were all in my living room watching the news on updates of the storm. No one was worried until we watched the storm hit Broad Channel. The news showed the streets flooding with ocean water, businesses destroyed, and houses either collapsing or floating away. I could see the tears coming down from Andrew and Ellen’s eyes but they tried to control their emotions as best as possible. Then minutes later all lights and our television shut off completely and the rain was coming down hard. We were prepared for this with extra lights and candles. Since there was nothing to do, we decided to look out the windows for the time being. The street lights were all out and all we could see were the cars coming down the street and with that came the water. The more vehicles that came down the block, the more water that would come with it and flood the streets. Not only that, but the winds were picking up and pieces of the roof tops of houses were falling off and being thrown on cars and other…
