Review: Excelent Movie, well acted, great visuals, real tear jerker - This movie starts out in China just before the 1976 earthquake that killed more than 200,000 people. It follows one family. The father is crushed to death trying to save his two children. The children end up trapped beneath the rubble. When the rescuers try to save the children, they don't believe that they will be able to save both and force the mother to decide. She want both children saved, but when not given a choice, tells the rescuers to save her son. Both children are saved, but because of the son's injuries, the mother is forced to leave the daughter behind to get her son to a hospital. On returning, she is unable to find her daughter and is tormented by this the rest of her life. The daughter is adopted and the children grow up separately. It follows both children growing up. Then when the 2008 earthquake occurs, both as volunteers meet by chance.
Review: Good Lord.... - Many foreign films I see I actually do not like as much as other reviewers but that was not the case with Aftershock. It shows just how brutal dealing with the loss of a loved one can be and how hard it is to carry on with your life from all aspects. Spoiler -->You pretty much get what it is about from all other reviews but what really tore me up is when the girl said to her foster father that she lied. It was not that she could not remember..it was that she could never forget. She could never forget the last 3 words she heard her mother say when she was 7 years old and trapped in the rubble with her twin brother....."Save My Son".

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Why buy new?
*by J***S on November 22, 2025*

I was weary purchasing this video used. The case shows wear but the disc itself plays perfectly! Much better than spending the extra cost for a new one.
