Heartbreaking,emotional but terribly whitewashed.

Rating: 4/10 (7 January 2013)

First off, White washing and social justice are things I am not usually concerned about but in this movie it was terribly noticeable. For starters, This story takes place in a Thai city with this English family vacationing when the tsunami strikes. This entire story is revolved around just these white family's,victims and people while there is no showing of how the locals suffered. *Spoilers* Then at the end the Maria and the family leaves on a charted plane while the country still suffers.
It's not one of my favorite movies in the world but it was decent. I was more impressed on how the director did this and how well they did recreate some scenes,I just wish they showed how much it devastated the locals too not the rich English family.
