The Impossible Movie Analysis

The Impossible is a movie about a family who travels to Thailand on the day before Christmas for celebration. But little do they know the massive nightmare that will rise from the depths of the sea; a disaster that will devour everything in its path.
From my personal opinion, this was the second time I watched “The Impossible.” The first time I watched it was when I was in high school, and my perspectives towards the movie are still the same. Watching this movie for the second time really made me realized how difficult it may be to face a natural disaster.

No matter what he did he strongly believed that they were strong enough to survive something as strong as the disaster they faced. We are also able to see from Luca’s rule how he helped reunited families at the hospital and how happy he felt when he accomplished this. What we can see from this is that the Belon family values the strength of love and compassion and we also see how important it is for them. Regarding the mother, we can see that when she is at the hospital she tries to communicate with a woman next to her plus offering her a piece of margarine that Lucas had on his hand. From the mother’s actions we can also see the caring and affection that not only is being expressed between the Belon family, but as well what they transmit to the outside
