For this week I invited friends 
The tsunami was one of the disasters that were faced by the people of Aceh, Indonesia on 26 December 2004 ago, from the disaster the number of die and missing some 280 thousand people and was declared as one of the biggest disasters in the 20th century
Interestingly, a number of directors were inspired to make a movie based on the disaster which also happened at that time to a number of countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, and India. One of the successful movie lifted to Cinema inspired by the story of the Tsunami is The 2012 Impossible.
But I will not review The Impossible. This time I tried to review one of the films I had watched called The Wave 2015.
The Wave is a movie taken from the Tsunami that occurred in Norway, precisely in 1934, an area in Norway called Geiranger was hit by a devastating tsunami in that area.
At that time the Geiranger Fjord region, Norway was ravaged by rocky rock ruins due to being hit by water with a height of more than 250 feet. I was so terrible, the natural disaster reportedly claimed as many as 40 lives while destroying the surrounding area.
Taking the current setting, the film made by Roar Uthaug invites the audience to feel the atmosphere of tense and panic residents when the tsunami came over and disaster mitigation saved themselves from the Tsunami within minutes.
This film tells the story of Kristian (Kristoffer Joner), a geologist at Geiranger, discovering strange phenomena that occur on Mount Arkeneset. He and his team found that water detectors at some point on the mountain were lost in the earth.
Disaster Mitigation in this film attracts my attention as if I know the same disaster will be repeated, but when it happens, of course, we cannot predict it. Disaster mitigation is the weakness of preparation in the face of a recurring disaster.
This movie uses Norwegian language and one fantastic thing I have read about this film; 40,000 liters of water are needed every day to make the tsunami scene displayed look real.
In addition, the actors do all the scenes themselves without a stunt double. Even for the climax scene, when Joner tried to save his family, he practiced diving so he could hold his breath for three minutes in the water.
Combined with stunning visual effects, the tsunami scene that occurred in a beautiful expanse of Norway became the main force of the successful movie attracting the attention of a number of movie festivals around the world and even has become an official submission for the Best Foreign movie at the 2016 Academy Awards.
In my opinion, this is one of the best films I've ever watched, besides
there are many dramas and moral messages that the director wants to convey to the audience. What is the story of the Christian family in the struggle to save themselves from the Tsunami that occurred at Geiranger Fjord, Norway? You can watch the following trailer:
