Moving, brutal but made for an american audience

Rating: 9/10 (21 July 2018)

I keep it short and say: The movie is touching and even brutal at times. It's definitely worth to watch. I gotta say though that I found it odd that it resolves so much around a white tourist family. I'd like to see more locals and their fate portrayed in the movie because in reality for this family it would come down to this: They survived but ultimately they fly home to their perfectly fine house and live on while the local people lost everything. On the other hand they are not the target audience of the movie so I get it.
James Cameron said about Titanic that one of them had to die and it was Jack who died. He justified this with the fact that it would not do justice to the fate of the other passengers if there was a happy end. I would have liked a similar ending for "The Impossible".
