News | Tsunami Movie

I guess we shouldn’t really be surprised at this news, Hollywoood after all only ever has one thing on it’s mind: profit. But is it just me, or does it seem a little too soon to be talking about a movie based around last year’s Tsunami disaster?

Writer/Director Michael Patwin doesn’t seem to think so. His low budget movie aims to have a ‘historical’ feel to it.

And what’s the main focus of the movie? The story of an American man who, in the aftermath of the disaster walks barefoot for seventy miles to find his wife and child.

Apparently Patwin was inspired to write the story after reading news stories of locals who had walked to find their loved ones.

Hhhmmmm, so why change it to a (presumably white) American, and not leave it as a local. Oh that’s right, if it’s not about Americans, it won’t sell. Hell, if we really want to make it into an American story, they should angle it some how to make Al Qaida responsible for the tsunami. Yeah, now that’s a movie even George W could get behind...
