IiWatts. Beka impumelelo emangazayo ebizwa Into engenakwenzeka , evela kumlawuli waseSpain uJ. A. Bayona, phezulu kuluhlu lwee-must-see zonyaka. Olu luvo lubuhlungu malunga nosapho oluhlala eholideyini olwahlulwa yitsunami yoLwandlekazi lwaseIndiya olunobundlobongela nolungalindelekanga olwabetha amanxweme akumazantsi mpuma eAsia ngomhla wama-26 kuDisemba ngo-2004, yeyona bhanyabhanya ibangela iintlungu engathethekiyo kumashumi eminyaka. Kuyinyani, yenziwe ngokuqaqambileyo ngumlingisi onesiphiwo kunye nokuzinikela kwaye yenye yeefilimu ezilungileyo malunga nokusinda ngokwasemzimbeni nangokweemvakalelo. Ndiqale ukuyibona kwiToronto International Film Festival ngoSeptemba, kwaye andikapholi. Isishwankathelo silula ngobuqhetseba: usapho lwemihla ngemihla (u-Ewan McGregor, uNahomi Watts kunye nabantwana babo abathathu) bhabha baye eThailand bayokuchitha ikhefu leKrisimesi kwindawo yokuhlala ebutofotofo enombono wolwandle e-Khao Lak. Bayangena, bayothula, babelane ngesidlo sangokuhlwa seKrisimesi, bavule izipho kwaye batyibilike iisuti zabo zokuhlamba ukuze bayokuntywila emanzini njengemibalabala kwaye banomdla njengoko iincwadi zesikhokelo zithembisile. Emva koko, ngentsasa elandelayo emva kweKrisimesi, umbane uyasilela, kulandele isandi esingaqhelekanga sokuduma okude. Iyonyusa ibe ngumgqumo, kodwa akukho moya ungaphezulu. Kumatyotyombe aseNtshona amaninzi aziphumlele echibini, akukho xesha lokuyiqonda ngokupheleleyo into eyenzekayo phambi kokuba i-tsunami ifike, inyuka ivela elwandle kudonga lwamanzi olukhwazayo olunamandla njengee-Falls zaseNiagara. Ukuhluzwa ngesandi se-3D, ukutshatyalaliswa kweparadesi ngama-98-foot-high wave (not recycled newsreel footage), ethatha imizuzu eli-10, iyoyikisa, njengoko abantwana benkqonkqozwa zingazi ziinqwelo-mafutha ezibhabhayo kwaye beshiywe bebhabha bemka kwindawo eyonakeleyo yesundu imithi kunye neentambo zombane eziwayo. Kodwa isiphumo siyakhathaza ngakumbi, njengoko abazali abakhathazekileyo bekhangela ngokungxama abantwana abalahlekileyo kwaye abantwana abaxhalabileyo bazulazula kwingqushu bafuna abazali abalahlekileyo. Umnumzana Bayona, umlawuli oselula onomdla owaguqula ibali elinesiporho somoya ngo-2007 Inkedama kwenye yeefilimu eziphezulu kakhulu zaseSpain ngalo lonke ixesha, yenza isiphithiphithi kunye nokubulawa kwabantu ngamaza olwandle njengombono kwaye kuyothusa njengayo nayiphi na into Imvula Ifikile , Isitalato iGreen Dolphin , INkanyamba okanye Inyikima . Kunqabile ukuba ndibone intshabalalo enkulu kangaka ibekwe ngokuchanekileyo. Kodwa emva kokuphela kwesiphumo se-bravura, izinto zabantu ziyaqala, kwaye iimvakalelo ezingavuthiyo zithathe indawo njengoko iintsapho zithandazela ukudibana phakathi kwamagumbi angxamisekileyo agcweleyo kunye nezidumbu ezingaziwayo. Ngokusekwe kumava okwenyani abasindileyo beetsunami uMaria noHenry Belon kunye nabantwana babo, umdlalo weqonga ongacacanga kaSergio Sanchez ufumana yonke into ilungile. U-Ewan McGregor kunye noNahomi Watts, kwiindima ezimbini zeembasa zomsebenzi wabo, bajike Into engenakwenzeka kumava aqinisekisa ubomi.
Njengotata ongusomashishini ozelwe eBritane osebenzela inkampani eJapan, eyaphukileyo kwaye enegazi, ebambelele koonyana ababini abancinci kwaye ethandazela ukuba yonke intsapho yakhe isaphila, u-Ewan McGregor akazange abhenele ngakumbi okanye abe sesichengeni. Njengomfazi wakhe ohloniphekileyo, ogqirha ozama ukuzama ukunceda abanye ngaphandle kokulimala kwakhe, uNahomi Watts ufumana uqeqesho olugwebayo. Ukunyuka kwemithi enabantwana ababini abagxothiweyo, ukubhukuda ukuya kwindawo ekhuselekileyo ngeentlanzi ezifileyo kunye nokubola kweedada ngelixa unyana wakhe omdala ehlala ecaleni kwakhe kuhambo olubuhlungu oludlula kumanxuwa esiya kwisibhedlele esikhawulezileyo, UNks Watts ubonakala ngathi uzinikele ngokwasemoyeni kwindima yakhe. Abantwana bayamangalisa, ngakumbi umdlali omncinci osisinyanzelo ogama linguTom Holland, owenza ibala elinomtsalane njengenkwenkwana ekhaliphileyo, enentliziyo ebuhlungu enyanzeliswa ukuthwala uxanduva olungaphaya kweminyaka yakhe kunye nokuqonda njengoko ezama ukusindisa ubomi bukanina engekho utata. Isamente yonke ifezekisa iindawo eziphakamileyo zokunyaniseka kunye nokuthembeka kwifilimu engalibalekiyo edibanisa ukubonwa okuhle kunye nolwalamano olusondeleyo kubudlelwane bothando kumbhiyozo womoya womntu ongenakoyiswa.
