"My Whole Life is Extra Time"


Great quote by Maria Belon whose family inspired the movie's main story.

"The tsunami was an incredible gift. I embrace life. My whole life is extra time. There is no difference between me—a Spanish woman named María who is alive—and thousands of moms who are under the sea. I do not deserve to be alive, but life is not fair. I feel pain and compassion for so many others who didn't come back up or lost the ones they love. My whole story is on my body. And it is wonderful because it means I am alive."

Naomi Watts was amazing. She absolutely should've won 2013 Best Actress over Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook).
