Why do tidal waves or tsunamis in real life not look like the huge waves in the movies?

Question

Whenever there’s a tsunami in the movies it’s always a 100 foot tall wall of water instead of the rolling waves we see in real life. Could a wave actually get that high and make it to land?

Answer 1

Movies are not reality.

Movies have gigantic thousand-foot-tall waves because they look cool in movies.
