Have You Watched Quicksand 2023?

The movie industry is really doing well in entertaining us, there are times one gets bored and everything seems to be annoying, but as soon as you get your hands on the right movie, you forget that you were even moody.

I have watched a lot of movies recently and some of them are very nice, I mean very educative. One of the movies I watched recently and I so much loved it is Quicksand (2023). It was directed by Andres Beltran and written by Matt Pitts.

The movie is about a couple planning to get divorced who went on a trip to South America. Sofia (Carolina Gaitan, a Colombian actress) played the role of the wife. Josh (Allan Hawco, a Canadian actor) played the role of the husband.

This couple had been disagreeing with each other right from when they started their journey in the car until they got to their hotel room. They pretend to be cool when they are around friends like Marcos (Sebastian Eslava) but it doesn't always work out for them as at the end of the day, they end up making it obvious. Eventually, Josh had to open up to Marcos about their plan to get a divorce. The good friend was surprised to hear that because he knew how they used to love each other.

During one of their conversations with Marcos, he brought up the idea of hiking, the couple seemed to be pleased with it. But acted foolishly or should I say it's fate? They went for the hike without waiting for Marcos who seemed to be at work. Before they left, Josh dropped a voice note for Marcos about their whereabouts.

The couple inquired about the place and they were given the necessary information but then the guy at the counter in the hostel warned them about certain parts of the forest. Many who went there never came back, it's one of the deadliest places in the region.

The couple adhered and went to the part of the forest that was safe, but on the way, the cloud changed, it was about to rain, so, they decided to quit the hike and return back, on reaching their car, they saw a thief trying to steal what's in the car and probably the car as well.

Josh, couldn't hold himself down even after Sofia his wife tried to convince him to stay hidden and let the thief pick whatever he wanted and leave. The man seemed to be concerned about how they would get home if their car should be taken away.

So, he came from the rear and tried to attack the thief but the guy was too smart, he removed a gun and pointed it at him, asking for his wife. When she saw that the thief was serious about it, she came out of where she was hiding. The thief collected their backpack, which had all they held for their hike.

Somehow the husband Managed to hit the thief with a stick from behind and both of them fled into the forest, this time around they split, assuming the thief wouldn't chase them if he knew they went into the dangerous part of the forest. The man out of love made his wife do the dangerous part, and he went the good one because he knew the thief would follow him. Unfortunately, the thief was only interested in their belongings. so, he picked up the backpack and left.

In the forest, the wife, while running fell into a liquid quicksand, she didn't know it was a quicksand until she made several attempts to move and she started sinking. Lucky for her, Josh her loving husband came back to look for her after the thief was gone.

He found her in the liquid and tried to bring her out to no avail, Sofia was a very stubborn woman, he tried all he could to make her stay calm while he looked for a solution but she kept moving until she sank into the liquid. Josh couldn't take chances, he dived into the liquid too, and brought her to the surface.

Now both of them were stuck in the sand, at the mercy of anything. It was right there, that they managed to settle their differences, apologized to each other, and reconciled. They learned how to work together and looked for a way out of their situation.

They went through a lot in the liquid, and both got bitten by a giant snake, but the wife is a medical doctor, she managed to help Josh even though he was weak and couldn't do anything afterward. She and Josh managed to kill the giant snake with a knife they found on a dead body inside the liquid. She made a robe and got out of the liquid. She tried to help her husband out but he told her to leave him and go and get help because he is weak, he can't even move any part of his body.

She struggled to get to the road to get help for both of them but the venom started affecting her, and she collapsed in the way.

Marcos, on the other hand, heard the voice note his friend Josh dropped. He waited and didn't see them. He went to the bar to get some drinks when he saw the thief in the hotel with their backpack, he grabbed the guy and fortunately, he knew where they were, he eventually located them and saved their lives.

What I think of the movies

This movie is very nice, I will recommend it to both married and unmarried individuals, although it is scary but then it is very educative. Apart from love, another big thing in marriage is understanding. For the couples in this movie, they got to a point where the love they had for each other faded away. All hope seemed to be lost until they found themselves in a difficult time that paved the way for them to understand each other.

Good communication is very important in marriage and relationships too, learn to open up to your partners, Josh and Sofia seem to be covered by pride, they both never opened up to each other until they were stuck in that quicksand. It really amazed me when Sofia asked Josh whether he was serious when he said he loved her before he passed out when he got bitten by the venomous snake. I wonder how they were living together all this while lol.
