Although "Tsunami Miracle" is definitely an A-level production in terms of production cost, its production company is a not very well-known film company in Spain. Because of this, it is guaranteed that "Tsunami Miracle" does not fall into the rut, but Very objectively presented an authentic disaster film for the audience. In this movie, you don't see all kinds of "sympathetic" politicians, and you don't see ambulance workers who seem to be possessed by gods. What you can see is just the instinctive reaction of ordinary people when faced with disasters.
After watching "Tsunami Miracle", you can find that the two biggest features of the whole movie are simplicity and authenticity. The whole story is very simple, there are not many characters, and it always revolves around a family, without any redundant and useless details. The audience's attention is always on the family. The excellent performances of the two actors also ensure the authenticity of the film. Especially the very "painful" performance of the scream queen Naomi Watts is very disturbing, but it is Naomi Watts' relatively excellent performance that completely stole the limelight from Iwan Mike Gregg. It makes the whole movie a little out of balance between the two parts before and after. Due to the similarities between Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor, the audience was a little tired after watching the second half. In addition, there are not many remarkable places in Iwan Mike Gregor, which makes Iwan Mike Gregor a little embarrassed in the movie, and even becomes a foil. To be precise, the audience's attention in the second half of the movie is no longer Iwan McGregor, but how the family is reunited.
Another feature of the film is the sense of realism, the piercing pain that comes from the hero's heart every time Naomi Watts deals with her wounds. Just like Takashi Miike's previous TV movie "Memoirs of a Ghost Prostitute", the movie itself is not scary, but it just makes you feel uncomfortable watching it. Although "Tsunami Miracle" is not a 3D film, it can also bring the audience a sense of immersion with this real pain.
What is more interesting is that the eyes of "Tsunami Miracle" are not the two big stars, but the eldest son in the movie, because this is the only character who has obvious signs of growth in the disaster. The eldest son went from being withdrawn and cold and selfish before the disaster to being enthusiastic, cheerful and helpful after the disaster. It can be said that the growth of the eldest son is the most important clue in "Tsunami Miracle".
In fact, when I watched "Tsunami Miracle", my mind was filled with the scene of Jet Li's tsunami in Indonesia. The news of Li Lianjie's disappearance at that time also made the people realize how insignificant people are in the face of disaster, even if he is Li Lianjie. I'm curious about what a "superhero" who is omnipotent in the movie, a big man with sufficient right to speak and who can basically call the wind and rain in the Chinese dynasty, was thinking when he faced disasters? Although we cannot accurately understand Jet Li's state of mind at that time, since the disaster, he has become enthusiastic about public welfare and even founded the One Foundation, becoming more charitable and charitable, and has a new understanding of life and death. I believe that it was through that encounter that he realized how helpless human beings are in the face of disasters, and that he nurtured his thoughts of compassion and compassion. This is similar to the growth path of the eldest son in "The Tsunami Miracle". (Of course, I am by no means saying that Jet Li was a withdrawn and selfish person before the tsunami.)
What is worth pondering is that it was Jet Li's misfortune that led to his idea of starting the One Foundation. Instead, people become lucky. Sometimes disasters can also make people grow. Although the heaven and the earth are not benevolent and regard all things as cud dogs, human beings are emotional animals with love and hatred, and this should be the thing we are most proud of.
PS: If "Tsunami Miracle" is a big hit at the Chinese box office, maybe someone will put the story of Jet Li's tsunami on the screen. It is a pity that the introduction of the film is too late and the schedule is very embarrassing. It is estimated that "Tsunami Miracle" will not do much in the Chinese film market.
