Plot: English physician Maria Bennet (Watts), her Scottish husband Henry (McGregor) and their sons Lucas (Holland), Tomas (Samuel Joslin), and Simon (Oakley Pendergrast), are on Christmas holiday in Khao Lak, Thailand, in 2004. The tsunami triggered by that year's Indian Ocean earthquake floods the area with overwhelming destructive power.

Maria and Lucas are swept away from the others by the tsunami and barely survive; Maria is severely injured, but they find a displaced toddler named Daniel in the wreckage. They are later found by locals who transfer them to a local hospital where Maria encourages Lucas to occupy himself assisting in any way he can, which leads to him searching for various strangers for their relatives at the facility. Due to a mix-up, the hospital staff believes she has died and takes Lucas to a tent where children without families are being held. Maria has surgery on her injured chest and is mistakenly labeled as someone else. She is eventually reunited with Lucas but remains in a highly fragile medical state waiting to be deemed fit for further surgery on her leg wound.

Elsewhere, Henry, Tomas, and Simon have survived the tsunami themselves together, although the father is injured. Henry places the children into a vehicle supposed to take tourists to a safe place while he remains behind to search for Maria and Lucas. Ultimately further injured while failing to find them, he arrives at the evacuation point, only to discover that Tomas and Simon have been sent elsewhere. Communication facilities are scarce, but a tourist named Karl, who was also separated from his family by the tsunami, lends Henry his cell phone to contact his relatives and volunteers to accompany Henry to look for Maria and Lucas.

Henry and Karl search for their families in various places before they arrive at the hospital where Maria and Lucas are. The vehicle carrying Tomas and Simon stops outside the hospital; the family eventually reunites. Maria has surgery which she survives, and the following day the family boards an ambulance airplane to Singapore arranged by their insurance company for further treatment for Maria. -- information from Wiki

这样的电影，我通常会选择在一个人的时候才看的...

因为它总是轻易的骗走我一把眼泪鼻涕的...

The Impossible 是一部很值得看的电影~

不仅仅因为它是真人真事，更因为它提醒了我们该珍惜家人相聚的时光...

历难，在生死关逛了一圈，不但生命危在旦夕，失散的家人更是下落不明~

那种无助，那种害怕，不是我们所能理解的...

在那种恶劣的环境下还能坚强的走下去，可真需要很大的勇气...

我相信当然还有那强烈想要一家团聚的信念也非常重要~

照片里是真实的那一家人...

历经那灾难，我相信他们一家一定更珍惜彼此~

家人是这世上唯一不会丢下我们的人...

可我们总是把最坏的一面留给他们~

因为我们总是把他们的存在当作是理所当然...

其实，他们才是我们最应该珍惜的人...

看这样的电影还有一个好处...

那就是给自己在不开心的时候，痛快流泪的最佳理由...

泪流过，日子一样要过...

是时候上床睡觉了~

晚安了，在另一边的你...
