Close your eyes and picture a whale held in a cell just big enough to move in. If a movies greatness is measured by its cinematography and its direction and its deep characters and its thought provoking script and its revolutionary special effects, then Free Willy is not the next Citizen Kane. It made me cry back when I was 5 and it still does today. The film itself is about a parentless boy that ends up in foster care. For me the point is that many of people as well as lots of critics don't appreciate movies sweet movies without profanity, drugs, sex and violence.
It's really sweet, and it puts out a good message. When we hear of a stray dog that shows up at the humane society with internal bleeding and a missing eye, we say that it's terrible and then we turn away and forget about it until the next ones shows up. But if we can look at films like Schindler's List and Cry Freedom, films that examine the atrocities perpetrated towards humans, see them for the genius that they are, why can we not take a film that has something to say about the abominable treatment of animals more seriously. If you are in need of a friend there will always be on in animals and this film has shown us so with Jesse and Willy. This film is a great way for kids to learn about Whales, family and friendship. Now do the same thing in regards to stories like Free Willy.
The growing affection for Willy is not even stereotyped or cliched. Its one not to be missed, its makes you feel all warm in side. He has done nothing wrong, committed no crime and he just wants to go home. It asks you to realize that we are bad people and that we should change the system from within. Finding a streaming service to buy, rent, download, or view the Dwight Little-directed movie via subscription can be a huge pain, so we here at Moviefone want to do the work for you.
The bonds of friendship between man and animal are shown incredibility well here. Thanks for reading and sorry for my bad English. This Film will always be in our hearts. This whale is fed every once in a while and he is taught to do tricks so that people can laugh and cheer. This film has taught us a lot about captivity and the need of freedom. We need more movies like this, not a laughable rubbish that Hollywood studios now provide for family entertainment.
When we go to water parks and see captive whales performing tricks we laugh and cheer and go back to our freedom and think nothing of the life that was destroyed when that beautiful beast was taken from its habitat. And that is they are bleeding hearted fluff. I don't see why this is rated a 5. The unlikely friendship between twelve years old Jesse and giant whale as the main element of the story is very sweet and touching. And finally, that's maybe the most important Free Willy is a very humanistic movie, a movie that what was made with love and care about nature.
But he is kept against his will, for our entertainment. Does that result means that family movies can't be good. When Jesse learns that an oil spill is threatening his old friend Willy the orca, he enlists his crush, Nadine Mary Kate Schellhardt , and Elvis in an attempt to save the friendly whales from the spill and greedy businessmen. This film is not just for 10 year olds, it is a film that should be viewed by everyone that takes their freedom for granted. It allows you to feel and care about things that go on it the world. His facial expressions and body language fit into the total frame as well.
Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home 1995 95 min In this sequel to the popular first installment, Jesse Jason James Richter is now a teenager living with his adoptive parents Michael Madsen, Jayne Atkinson when his half-brother, Elvis Francis Capra , shows up on the heels of their birth mother's death. It is a powerful film. Matthew McConnauhey wrong spelling, I know gives his speech at the end about the heinous crimes that were committed against the little black girl. The story of Jason James Richter's character trying to escape from a life of crime and missing prospects is way beyond the average. If you have kids this is the one to show them, they will laugh, cry and learn to love the adorable killer Whale Willy which a lot of us have done. When Jesse learns that an oil spill is threatening his old friend Willy the orca, he enlists his crush, Nadine Mary Kate Schellhardt , and Elvis in an attempt to save the friendly whales from the spill and greedy businessmen. .
The beautiful movie soundtrack written by Basil Poleuydouris a bit resembled for me terrific Carmine Coppola's score for The Black Stallion. The story has some profoundly human themes to it. Perhaps you think this review is not really about a movie and all I am doing is expressing my political beliefs, and that may be true, but if someone doesn't say something about this, then what good is our right of freedom of speech. At the end of his graphic description he tells them to imagine she was white. They are also pretty good. Check out also its two sequels.
