Simshar was a really familiar film. The overall excitement of the film had a very Americanized feel to it. The idea of a family going out on the water and a problem occurring. Then they are left at sea with no way to get help. There are American movies that are centralized around just that idea. But this movie had this, as well as other stories to tell. There was the concept of immigration to Europe and the lives of those people on the boat. There was the people who were working with those people. There was the mother and youngest son of the family at sea. All well told stories that strung together very nicely. The actors were really good, even the children. It was pretty hard to find anything negative to say about the movie but the ending was kind of confusing. The son was strapped into what they were floating on and then when the father regains consciousness and is saved the kid somehow is not there anymore. I don't understand that part and i think it could have been done better but definitely a great film overall.
