This film was shot where the Tsunami occurred. I STRONGLY SUGGEST watching behind the scenes. Tom holland was amazing as was Naomi they created a real DEEP river with actual rapids. Every move was planned, but it was extremely dangerous. All of the background characters are people who survived the actual tsunami. The area welcomed the film like a warm hug. This story is also 100% accurate family wise. The story is impossible, and they are truly lucky that they not only found each-other but survived that wave.

[@kelly9876]

I remember the family doing press at the time, and they stressed that they had it easy compared to others. As rich tourists they got out of the area early and got the best medical care within a few days. The people in the area had a long road to recovery.

[@sathvamp1]

@@kelly9876 Yes I DEFINITELY noticed that regarding near the end of the movie... that sort of rescue would not even have been possible for "supposedly middle class" people either, the way medical systems work (or rather, how they don't work). I have had the unfortunate experience of seeing horrific infected wounds take my family members from me... despite being in "supposedly really good" hospitals with supposedly good insurance. It does seem like unless you are a political figurehead or work for a very rich company that goes out of its way to help you... the system is set up so you can't even pay to help yourself when needed.

[@rebeccagibbs4128]

​@sathvamp1 I think they handled that well in this film, while it was centered on this privileged family, it didn't shy away from humanizing the incredible local people who didn't get to fly away to safety at the end ❤❤❤❤

[@sathvamp1]

@@rebeccagibbs4128 They handled everything well in this film- it was the most realistically traumatizing movie I've ever seen... a story that needed to be told (and really many stories). And even though we saw the "privileged" aspect when they flew away on the private plane, BEFORE that, there was definitely so much risk and luck involved, including with her chest and leg getting successfully operated on. I had actually seen a reaction of this before seeing the full movie myself and for some reason had FORGOTTEN that the mom actually survived. In watching the full movie later myself, I found out I had a faulty memory of her actually dying (when she did not)... probably because I've been so conditioned to expect people I know not to survive when they've gotten to such a state.

[@michelle6337]

The scene where Maria starts throwing up in the hospital, and Lucas frantically shouts "What are you doing? Stop it!" breaks me every time I see this. My mom was in and out of the hospital dozens of times starting when I was 10, and I have countless memories sitting in emergency rooms and yelling the same thing. You don't know what's happening and you know it's not their fault, but you just want it to stop because it's too much. It is such a horrifically helpless feeling when the person who has taken care of you your entire life becomes the person who needs to be taken care of, and Tom Holland portrayed that helplessness so well in those hospital scenes.

[@IreneRMshawty]

The family was involved in every aspect of the movie. As they said, they where the lucky ones. The Spanish family returned to the same place to film the movie, to the hotel, the hospital, and the same doctors thank them for just been there and record the movie there, but the family say no, thank you for all the work you did, for all the people you saved. The little child they help was real too, everything, he was able to reunite with his family again on the hospital, Lucas searching people, all. Also, Lucas said the moments he lived when he was only 10 years old left a mark on him, because when he found himself lost with her injured mother, he had to take care of her and heal her serious wounds, until he was able to meet his father and brothers, and that, motivated him to become a doctor and help anyone who needed his help. He said "It was a unique and unfortunate experience. But since then it seemed logical to me to have to repay, to a certain extent, that debt that was left to me.” Your reactions to this movie mean a lot, it opens up the knowledge of this tragedy and how people can bring the best of themselves, to not only help theirself and families, but others. Love from Spain

[@IreneRMshawty]

Also, a lot, of actual survivors, played as extras in the movie

[@Krisgenx]

I recently looked up how the family was after the experience. She’s a doctor and motivational speaker. Father works helping refugees and all the boys are successful young men!!!

[@alliel9970]

I was also taken aback by the way the Thai people rushed to help; I missed the first time I watched this, but when they had the mom at the Thai house to get cleaned up, the man came out literally with a door from his house to carry her on. For some reason that really moved me. A fantastic movie, with amazing acting and great sound design especially.

[@sathvamp1]

The first thing that got me in tears was after when the mom and her son realized they were just waiting doing nothing in the hospital and so and decided to start doing something, anything such as finding random people to bring them together with their families. Far too many of us know what that's like, to just need to be doing something totally randomly helpful partly because it's just too much to not be able to do anything for yourselves at the time.

[@R989D]

I’ve found that the people with the least in life give the most. In this move the American couple with the phone refuse to let anyone borrow it and tbh looked more inconvenienced by the whole situation (I can’t judge who knows their story) and yet those Thai families who have lost the most gave everything they could to help. That Scandinavian man who leant his phone, despite having no idea if his family was still alive made a strong effort to support and assist Ewan’s character find his family. Truly tragic situation all round.

[@H_tinyhuman]

They filmed this in the exact Hotel the family stayed at (after they rebuild it years later) - so they were all in the exact place around the pool as they family were. I believe the mom Maria joked that the biggest inaccuracy was that Lucas' ball was yellow 😂She was on set a lot to help advice the director and actors

[@sathvamp1]

I do wonder how traumatic it was for her to even be around those old ideas etc. Just watching this movie myself left me in almost a catatonic-like state...!

[@selrox879]

[@cathywaters6233]

I truly admire the fact that you took the time to look up how many people died during that tsunami. I agree with all three of your reactions. This movie was gut wrenching. But extremely well made and powerful.

[@sathvamp1]

I am sure one reason it was so gut wrenching is BECAUSE it was well made. This movie was a "different kind of sad" than the ones I have seen so far.. and I HAVE seen movies such as "Hachi a Dog's Tale" and "Miracle in Cell No. 7 (both Turkish and Korean versions)". Even with that last example... this is the first movie that left me almost in a catatonic state. I did cry a little twice during my first watch but it did NOT feel good at all (like it actually often does). I probably would have cried more I hadn't been so very stressed (my fight-or-flight nervous system seems to inhibit tears for me). They made the movie VERY real, which of course was the entire point, I know. Especially the medical stuff- infections etc.. I am all too familiar with that sort of thing. I had just watched this movie on Netflix a few hours ago (to prepare to watch their reaction to it), and this is the first movie where I seriously asked myself, "WHY am I doing this to myself??" a few times throughout the movie, but I just had to finish it.

My friend from school (we were in grade 11 at the time) was on the beach in Thailand when the tsunami struck. She and her brother managed to cling together but got separated from their parents who were washed away. Eventually they found their mom and days later found their dad injured, after days spent checking piles of dead bodies for him. They said the Thai people were incredible and helped everyone despite having lost everything themselves. They went to see this film as a family and said it is scarily accurate.

[@fangirlalliecat]

It was so infuriating when that American man without a scratch on him refused to let Henry (clearly injured and desperate) use his phone. Situations like this also brings out the worst in people sometimes, so I love how this movie showed the kindness tenfold. Karl lost his wife and 2 year old daughter and had a low battery but INSISTED that Henry call Brian back because of the way the initial phone call ended. The locals pulling survivors from the wreckage and giving Maria fresh clothes and showed so much tenderness. Such a phenomenal film for such a tragic event.

[@amandab4978]

One of the things the film didn't say (because it would have made it even more problematical to film) was that the local women tending to Maria gave her clothes because she was naked: the force of a tsunami rips your clothes off...

[@EmyN]

Idk man, in situations like this we are all trying to survive and make sure our loved ones are ok

[@Samson16436]

I understand the frustration because we only see Henry's pov and that's the thing. You don't know that man's story and experience other than that he too was desperate to get ahold of people, unscratched or not. Everyone was traumatized. We don't know anything about his situation and emotions in that moment. "Bring out the worst in people" seriously? That's so unfair to say about someone who just wants to reach their loved ones. He was not selfish or a bad person for prioritizing his people in those extreme and horrifying circumstances. Him and Karl made different choices but that doesn't make him less than. He's a real human being, he was worried and he was scared for his people. Your judgement is unjust. "Worst in people" honestly fu for saying that..

[@daffodil852]

I just read a memoir about a Thailand tsunami survivor. She went on vacation with her young sons, husband, parents, and best friend. She was the only one who made it. She moved to NYC, but said she still kept the house in London where she lived with her family. Every year she goes back to the old house to wash her son’s soccer uniform and wash the dishes. She pretends that they’re at school/work, and she’s just waiting for them to come home. I think about this every single time I wash my son’s uniforms.

[@sawanna508]

[@ct5625]

Doesn't matter how many times I see this movie I always cry. One of the things about this event that isn't talked about enough is that the locals went above and beyond to help tourists who were directly hit along the coastal resorts. Even though so many had lost everything themselves and their country was in crisis, they still did everything possible to help anyone they could. The resort is still there, they rebuilt what they needed to. They've reforested the areas stripped of trees. They now have warning signs all along the coastal road and every hotel and bar etc has information points and evacuation routes to immediately take people to higher ground. I believe Japan and the US also assisted in the development of early warning systems, so the next time there's an EQ capable of triggering a tsunami every country likely to be impacted will have plenty of warning to issue the alarm and order an evacuation.

Thankfully they were inland enough to be safe but we went out the year after when I was 9 & we saw the devastation & met so many people who survived specifically a group called the sea gypsies. When I was there I met a man who had no arms and no legs who’s house was right on the shore (it was a house on stilits) & his carer had left only 1 hour earlier so he was alone & he survived & so did his house.

I experienced a few tsunami watches and warnings when I lived in Chile from 2014 - 2016 and although the tsunamis never really got as bad as the one from 2004, it made me appreciate how important tsunami warnings are. thanks for another incredible reaction, gentlemen. ❤

[@YuviOfir]

Sometimes when the casualties are so numerous, a quarter million, it's hard to remember that every single one of them had a story, that it's not just a number, but individuals. When I visited the death camps in Poland where my grandmother's family died, the guide told us to focus on a single braid, or a single pair of shoes, because otherwise it's too much to actually comprehend... I acutally was in Thailand a few years after the tsunami, and we didn't know that Ko Pi Pi had such extreme tide and ebbs, so my parents actually thought that another tsunami was coming, we were prepared to run for the hill at the end of the fish market and hotels area when an employee at the hotel explained that the water pulling back more than a kilometer was normal. Thanks for the reaction, guys. Tom Holland really delivered, especially as young as he was. If you feel like it, I recommend Soul Surfer, also a real story, about successful surfer Bethany Hamilton and her story, surviving a shark attack and how she finds her way back to the waves.

Not to scare you but your reaction is very legitimate... I am all too familiar with horrific infected wounds like that taking my family members away from me. The most direct risk is sepsis, when the bacteria or other microbes get from the wound into the bloodstream and then can go everywhere including the brain. Note how in the movie, the son had said his mom "said weird things sometimes". That was the case with my dad when he got sepsis (from a combination of unfortunate factors). The mortality risk increases with a lowered immune system.

The way this movie encapsulates the desperation (not only of the family but everyone around them) is so real and heartbreaking. Please, please, please watch the society of the snow. It's the same director and it's just a masterpiece ❤

Oak really seems to have a big soft spot for familyhood and fatherhood. You can see it in this movie and HTTYD, and I think its so sweet

The one scene where i lost it was when ewan McGregor makes the first phone call....that is hands down some of the most genuine acting i have ever seen, the way he falls apart, his tone of voice.... absolutely incredible acting.

Seriously, no matter how many times I watch this movie, I ALWAYS cry. "LUCAS, LUCAS!" the boys running to their brother, then their dad finding them.. Every friggin time. I really enjoyed this movie and it tore me up knowing that so many families never got the reunion with their loved ones. Love your reactions, always reacting to incredible shows and movies!

[@fluoxetoon]

I'm always filled with both excitement and dread whenever I see someone reacting to this one. It's a tough experience just watching it, so actually living through it... 😓

[@scorpioj3]

you guys are the most emotionally aware reactors ever and i can totally relate to your guys' thoughts. it's scary to even just think about experiencing something like this. rest in peace to the people we lost to this tsunami.

[@Kammy7911]

The way I cried when the boys were running towards each other and then the relief was almost overwhelming. I didn't fully realize the scene where she went into surgery and thought of the moment she was hit and taken under was somewhat like being in amniotic fluid, and her rebirth when she fought her way up. Tom was always excellent in How I Live Now, which is wholly underrated and not talked about enough.

[@analiamariarabelocavalcant5499]

Amazing reaction as always. Society of the snow is a MUST watch, it’s by the same director ❤ we would love to see that

[@Elmerphant]

I love when Oak cries. That's so me and I'm a girl lol. In life I come off very stoic but movies always get me in the feels. I've seen this movie a few times and every single time I'm just as emotionally invested and devastated as ever. It's so powerful because you realize how powerless humans are in these moments and we have to really work together to survive huge natural disasters. Like we all want to judge the guy who was saving his phone but in that situation you just never know what you'll do or the reasons why (resources are scarce and it could keep your family safe). It's just so traumatic and devastating. I actually never looked up how many lives were lost. I started crying when he said the total. The Impossible is definitely the perfect name for this movie.

[@mmkay3296]

Im at the end and im absolutely losing my shit over Oak rn. Immediately bawling. Im getting myself together with the video paused before they give feedback, but i imagine Oak is so emotional bc he's imagining his own loved ones in this situation. You can just tell his family is EVERYTHING to him. I knew he'd get emotional when they found little Daniel bcuz he looks like (IMO) his own little one.

[@djman5667]

I had heard about this movie all the time and finally got around to watching it a few weeks ago. Movie had me crying not even 30 minutes in. It’s insane just how heartbreaking, heartwarming, & horrifying not only a movie can be, but an actual TRUE story can be.

[@sathvamp1]

This is THE most horrifying movie I ever saw. Which means they did a good job. I just saw it on Netflix a few hours ago and am even anxious to watch clips of it again via this reaction (I didn't yet, but will). When I am anxious I actually usually CAN'T cry but despite that fact, this movie still got tears out of me a couple of times so that's saying a lot about how well they made it..

For whoever is interested. I am from Spain. The real family on which the movie was based is perfectly fine today. And Lucas, the eldest son, graduated as a doctor and is active in his profession.

[@shilohauraable]

Almost 300,000 people died or are still missing from this incident. The fact that an entire family of 5 lived & was united truly was Impossible! I've heard that Maria (mom) was very upset that news at the time ignored how wonderful and giving the Native people were, even though they had lost so much themselves including family members. She demanded that this movie spent time portraying what they did in a very positive light. I think the director did a wonderful job of portraying them as she wanted.

[@tsitonio]

It's beautiful how emotional The Oak got.

I'm a nurse & helped out as best I could during the Kentucky floods last yr, but even with all that people had to live thru it was nothing as powerful as this tsunami. So devastating to life. I can't even imagine how terrified these ppl were & no doubt are still dealing w PTSD. I will say I discovered a new found respect for humanity. Again I know it's in no comparison to the tremendous loss of life to the event. I only wanted to mention it cause it literally didn't matter who that life was or what their politics was or their race/ethnicity, we were gonna try to save every life cause every human life is important & if I could take anything away from a tragedy like this it's that point. That everyone really does try to help out any life & it's a shame it does take a horrible tragedy for some ppl to realize that this is how we should live every single day. ❤💞❤️

[@lox5962]

I remember watching tv when I saw the hotel my boyfriend was staying at featured in the footage of the wave coming in. I knew it was his hotel as we had stayed there the year before. I was flying from the U.K. to Australia the same day and the flight was full of journalists who all got off at Bangkok. It took 5 days before I found out he was ok. He was never the same afterwards. He couldn’t tell me of things he saw and I couldn’t help him.

[@kainat7863]

Such an incredibly powerful film, I watched this as a teen and it was very impactful. Rewatching it with you guys, as you mentioned (besides the main family) what gets me is the kindness of every person - the locals especially, the scene where the women are around Maria and helping her really speaks to me and the Dad ringing home made me cry so much when I first watched it. The story is told in such a respectful and impactful way, this film defo stays with you. It’s so hard for me though to watch things like this currently and not think about the people in Pal*stine. They are going through unthinkable tragedy - but not because of a natural disaster. It’s up to us, like those portrayed in the film to help and stand up for their human rights and voices, when the world’s governments are against them. To help all those innocent children like Daniel who are being mu*dered indiscriminately and have been left to starve and are traumatised for life. Thank you for this reaction.

[@cgtang]

Thai southerner here. I couldn't pass 15 min of the film on the first watch but finished it a few years later. Even though I live in the Thai gulf side, not the Andaman side where the Tsunami hit, it still effected everyone here in some way. I was 15 at the time when the incident happened. Friends of mind lost their relatives who worked there in the tourism industry. My dad (now a retired police officer) lost his former colleague also a neighbor who was in the Thai prince's security team. The prince also passed away at this incident. My sister's best friend and her family lost their house plus the entire fish farm business to the wave but luckily they weren't there at the time. Every TV channel dedicated their almost half of a screen for missing/deceased people alert system all day all night. My parents kept telling me to stay watching tv in case we might find the name of persons we know. Still remember my friend's reaction during lunch break when she got a call from the rescue team who found a phone on one of the body which is her sister-in-law's and need the identification. It was devastating.

Devastating film. I have been in a much smaller natural disaster, working at a small rural hospital in Alberta. unfortunately, there was loss of life and huge destruction from this flood. One of our nurses was driving in the water, trying to get to a long-term care home when she spotted an elderly man on a scooter being pushed in the water. She drove her jeep up beside him, and although he was a heavyset man and she was tiny she managed to get him into her vehicle. Then she felt her truck being pushed by the water and realized they were going to be swept away, and she very smartly managed to get it across the street and go up a large set of stairs to a community centre door. Then they waited for rescue from a boat. There were many such stories during that flood. These disasters change peoples lives. I lost my home, but it is nothing compared to the people who lost loved ones. We honour the lost, and remember, with gratitude, the helpers. And there were SO many❤

[@J-B-P]

Great reaction, guys. This story never fails to rock me to my core… when you consider the sheer devastation and destruction of the tsunami, it really does seem impossible that it even happened in the first place (and that every member of this family survived). It blew my mind to learn that the fault line was so massive (1,600 km long) that the waves produced rocked not one, not two, but TWELVE different countries… and that at their highest points, the waves were 100 (!!) feet tall. With that understanding, it’s no surprise that the death toll was so staggering. But of course, it will always be a mere estimate because so many bodies were either never found or never identified. As such, some experts believe it to actually be closer to 275,000 😣 just horrific. I do love the movie though… it portrays such a stark contrast between the brutality of nature and the kindness of human beings that it feels heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.

[@HihiEliza]

I remember when it happened and when they first started talking about how realistically they will never really know how many people were lost because there were entire villages washed away, where there were simply no people left to report the dead and missing.

The amount is residual trauma for generations after 230,000 people are killed is immeasurable! I will never forget when this happened. And I’ve since watched many documentaries and videos of actual footage from the disaster.. it is always devastating to see, but I think it’s important to watch and remember.

[@tiafielding]

The Long Way series (all three) are incredible. I'm Finnish, and there were 179 Finns who also lost their lives in this Tsunami in Thailand and Indonesia. It was a massive event , with so many people dying and getting injured on two different continents, plus of course the tourists that were from much farther away. It had such a big impact on Thailand for a very long time as well, given how much destruction there was and how important tourism is for the country. And it wasn't just Thailand either, of course, in fact Thailand wasn't even the worst afflicted when you look at the death tolls. I highly recommend people to look up documentaries and articles about the disaster to understand the scale of all of it.

[@CJ77777]

I don't have kids myself but I have a lot of nieces and nephews and when I think about them being in these kids' positions it makes me cry. We can never say how we would react, but I 100% know they would come first in any situation like this. I also think of parents in these situations, whatever is true or not in this story, to have the bravery to sever that overwhelming desire to keep your kids close, particularly if you are in an unfamiliar place and there's chaos all around, because it's best for the situation. So, for example, Maria in a hospital bed believing she's near death's door, thinking her son could be all alone but at that moment she's trying to keep him distracted and to give him a purpose by telling him to help people even if that means he'll be out of sight. And the dad, having to send his kids away somewhere he's being told is safe, but in this tragedy who knows where is safe, so he can find his wife and son; the latter of which could be all alone. I think it's in these moments you discover who you are. I remember seeing a video, not too long ago of a man filming, perhaps the results of this Tsunami (not 100% on that), from his room while his family was behind camera saying they should leave, or they should help people and he just kept filming making these random comments while literally watching people get dragged away. Crazy.

Once, in my high school, the mother (the original one) came to give us a pep talk about their experience and what they leaned from it.She said that Lucas ended up reuniting 73 families and that years later they are still in contact with Daniel (that little kid Maria and Lucas saved). She also said that ever since she was little her biggest fear was the ocean and that the day before they went to Thailand the family was in Japan and that they saw that famous Japanese painting of a wave, she literally said (that day at the museum): “thank god I don’t have to worry about tsunamis or anything like that (since there are lots in japan) since I’m going on vacation”. The soda thing is also unbelievable. Maria grew up in a household where carbonated drinks weren’t allowed and when she created a family of her own she applied that rule as well. But when the tsunami happened and they were at that tree, Lucas found a Coca-Cola can and asked Maria “Mum, today is an exception, right?” It’s amazing how the universe plays with us.
