Because Constellations find Kindred Stars.

There is so much pain and suffering in The Impossible that the keyboard feels like square-shaped thumbtacks piercing through the fingers; brain aggravated from the sharp debris of intensely painful scenes that the film was unforgiving of. What happened nine (9) years ago felt like it happened a week, a month back. It doesn't normally come off surprising anymore that Hollywood produces cutting-edge CGI (computer-generated imagery) effects, but one, let alone Russovoir, can't help it because, as it always been, the film takes Russovoir to the exact time and place it happened. Writing a review about it, you see, is like being a survivor of the tragedy and still have to pass a paper of what you did last summer on the first day of school. But the focus is simple, and less hurting; in fact, it's humbling, comforting, encouraging, and oh my god, are these tears damping the keyboard.

"Mom, mom, I'm scared."

The relief of finding, it's unlike any other. It has been shown in several scenes, almost concentrated in one place. The focus, again, is simple: Family is everything. The Bennetts lost everything they own, well, everything that they packed for the trip, was washed away, in the tsunami. But what make us human is not our attachment to material things than our attachment to kindred stars that form our constellation; those who make us become something, become someone to the eyes of others. Those people keep us afloat, buoyant with love.

"Lucaaaaaaaaas!"

Pure, and if only we can drink her performance to make us half as talented as she is, Naomi Watts absorbs us to her pain, her, despite ill-fated physical condition, human and motherly compassion. The recently categorized comedy film 2012 (2009), despite its mostly fabricated influence, sincerely taught us that we lose the separating characteristic of humanity if we do not try to help others in need. This is why Lucas Bennett (Tom Holland) was a refreshing drink in a hot summer day. As far as how their true story goes, how effective the film appealed to human emotions, and moreover just exercising being British, Lucas didn't think about himself, composed and collected because "Keep Calm and Carry On" maxim, he was a vessel of compassion.

The Impossible is taking in a lot (destruction, suffering, and loss) but towards the end, on the verge of choking, you find yourself quenched by your own tears in relief, catching your breath, because a family, as far as their happy ending is concerned, can keep theirs.
