He received Golden Globe nominations for best actor, musical or comedy for both Moulin Rouge! and Salmon Fishing in the Yemen.
For the other trhee (Tom Holland, Samuel Joslin, Oaklee Pendergast) was the first film they did.
This film speaks about what happened to the Bennet family in their hollyday trip. They go to Thailand to spend Christmas. They take a little house of an hotel on the coastline. Then they go to the pool they have next to them. All seems fabulous but suddenly all change when one tsunami swept them. The mother, Maria and the eldest of the three brothers are swept one way, the father Henry and the other two brothers, Thomas and Simon, the other way. Who will survive? Wil they come back together?
In my opinion this film is fantastic. It is fantastic because of the way the director told as the history as real as possible that he could, the good performance of the actors and actress, the perfect images of the tsumani that they make... I recommend to watch this film because apart from being entertained you realise how much people suffer with natural disasters. Some people opinion is that some scenes are very exaggerated, but in my opinion that gives more emotion to the film.
