Just Brilliant - Up there with the best ever films

Rating: 10/10 (11 February 2013)

I suppose one of the reasons this film is so special to me is that I know that part of the world really well, in fact it could so easily have been me on that beach on the morning of December 26th, 2004. The previous year we were there, just a few miles south of Kho Lak.
We went back the following year and have been back 3 more times since. The sad thing is, the Tsunami changed many things, the really sad thing is that the "aid money" and corruption that followed has done more damage than the initial disaster; the area's affected will never recover from the over development and greed that has changed the tranquility, but most of all changed the people.
As a film, it is a cinematic master piece, one of the best films I have ever seen, stunning, moving, heart rendering - brilliant. I cannot fault this film in anyway the acting was "Oscar Winning", the special effects, stunning and the storyline, fabulous.
To be put in the archives with the other great examples of cinematic brilliance. This should have swept the boards at every film award event following the release of this fantastic film.
