The reviewer did mention the fact that plenty of Thais (and Sri Lankans and many others) died in the tsunami and no one made a movie about them, but that this was still very well done and worth seeing.Knatoleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809822081515082096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-67147712816342856012013-01-24T15:49:09.454+00:002013-01-24T15:49:09.454+00:00I don't like to cry but the trailers of this f...I don't like to cry but the trailers of this film have pulled and taunted me to watch.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-38095690023230921602013-01-24T10:17:10.808+00:002013-01-24T10:17:10.808+00:00I'm glad you liked it...I wanted to see it but...I'm glad you liked it...I wanted to see it but was outvoted....Nota Benehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00969705852180234416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-45206078678641845652013-01-24T09:53:39.731+00:002013-01-24T09:53:39.731+00:00Ray,

Looks like I'm just going to HAVE to see it. <br />In my entire life there have only been about 3 or 4 films which would have been worthy of such a high score from me. (Don't ask! - Yet) But even given that my scoring criteria are probably harsher than most peoples', this film has obviously made a very deep impression on you. So it's a case of having to go and find out what all the fuss is about.

I remember this tsunami vividly because my nephew was over in Thailand getting married when it struck. My brother and sister-in-law were also there, all the way from Scotland, for the wedding and, as is the way of the geographically challenged, I had absolutely no idea where exactly they were. I spent a few agonising hours trying to locate them, only to find they were upcountry, in a tiny village, blissfully unaware of what was going on!!! You wouldn't think it possible that in the 21st century people could be so out of touch. Elizabeth<br /><br />Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05762785911026167332noreply@blogger.com
