TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Many of the extras were actual survivors of the tsunami.

The scene where the tsunami hits the resort could only be filmed once. It would have cost too much money to rebuild the set.

According to Naomi Watts, the producers of the film heard an interview on Spanish radio where the family told their story of surviving the Tsunami and decided to make a film based on it.

It took a year to put together the ten-minute sequence, a recreation of the moment the wave came crashing down on the luxury hotel in Khao Lak.

The crew filmed partially on location at the actual resort, since rebuilt, where the Belon family was holidaying when the tsunami hit. For the tsunami destruction scenes, a scaled model of the resort was used.

Popular Dialogues

"[first lines] Title Card: On December 26th, 2004, the deadliest tsunami on record hit the South East Coast of Asia. The lives of countless families all over the world changed forever. This is the true story of one of those families."

"Bellhop: And you, you don't work? Maria Bennett: I'm a doctor. I'm not practicing right now. Just taking care of the kids. Bellhop: I see, you got promoted."
