In any case, the reason there is no build up or explanation is because the family didn't experience one – there was just a whoosh of wind and then a wall of water came inland at great speed, wreaking destruction as it went. It's true 300,000 people died and many more survived (most of the extras were played by survivors of the tsunami) but they chose that book which is one family's perspective of the events of December 24, 2004 and the events they experienced before flying out.
I don't think any film could show the events of the tsunami from the earthquake which triggered it to the cleaning up process and rebuilding the infrastructure of Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and every other affected country. |
Either way its a good film and worth watching and sad because the fact it was true..Not just the way the film was made , made you cry etc but just the fact that a trragedy like that happened is sad alone,
