Review on "Tsunami: the aftermath"

      
          Tsunami: the aftermath have been one of my favorite movies which has been based one reality. The movie contains real footage of the scenes and it can certainly play with the hearts of the people who haven't experienced Tsunami. I am a victim of the Tsunami so I know how the feelings which the movie producers are trying to show to the audience. At the beginning of the movie, its a usual holiday story in Thailand where two families are considered the main characters. One family contains couple and their daughter while the other family contains a couple and two sons. They planned their holiday in one of the most peaceful destinations in Thailand. Everything was perfectly fine till it was around 9:00. The disaster struck and it carried the whole of the town with it. The main characters get separated from their families and the wives of both the families go to snorkeling early in the morning. In that disaster the first family loses their daughter as the waves get stronger and something hits the head of the man and he goes down. After he wakes up he he calls for help and a local boy/waiter in the hotel, comes and helps him out. He is wounded and searches for his daughter, but is unable to find. He finds the man from the second family bruised badly. So helps him out. He continues searching for his wife and daughter but is still unable to find. Hours passed and the night falls, he goes to another town in a truck and departs from their to find another town to find his daughter, meanwhile the man from the other families passes away as he couldn't make it to a hospital or clinic on time. The main character goes to a clinic and see's the name of his wife and daughter on a missing list. He gets a hope that his wife is alive. So he keeps searching. The next morning he meets two members of the other family and tells the wife that her husband has passed away. After a while he see's his wife, runs up to her and hugs her. After that they start searching for their daughter, they find a picture of a girl at the internet and rushes to that destination but unfortunately the little girl turns out to be some other girl who looks like their daughter. Then havoc occurs as the wife keeps blaming the husband for loosing the daughter. That is the main summary of the movie, I find it hard to watch it because it reminds me of the tragic experiences on that which I went through at the time of the Tsunami.

    From all the movies I have watched so far, I have come across this movie which I feel very much uneasy and disturbed. All those horror and thriller movies might contain seems where people are murdered or blood is splattered everywhere. But in this movie "The cove" the scenes that they show are from a real life story and its something which is non-fiction. When I was small, I use to have a perception that Japanese people are one of the world's most disciplined or well known for kind hospitality services. But after I watched this movie, my whole point of view changed as they kill dolphins and whales in such a large scale. They might say that the sushi made from dolphins and whales taste excellent. But I certainly disagree with them as the continuos killing would lead to extinction of both these species. It is also against the international law.
