There are lots of violence these days.  In some parts of the world, we humans don’t live in peace and harmony.  If we can have strong friendship and trust, the world can be a better and friendlier place.  This is one of the main points in the fabulous fiction film, the all-new 2018 Hollywood blockbuster about a captive killer whale and a boy.  So hop on board, and learn about this movie and why you should watch it.

I personally loved this film because of its many qualities.  They include the awesome cinematography and superb soundtrack.  But most of all, I loved the compassionate personality of the boy and the gentle yet wild spirit of Shaku.  My hands were trembling as the conflict reached its heights, and I wore a smile as the movie ended.

The ending scenery is majestic, the sun setting against the golden-pink water.  I haven’t seen many movies with such a beautiful cinematography.  Also, too many films I have seen have cheesy soundtracks.  “Time is racing toward us till the Huns…”  No, no, none of that.  The sound track, Ocean Blue, Ocean Wide is much better.  Even seeing the movie poster made my body tremble with excitement.

Some highlights of this movie are the scenes you will be able to remember, such as when Shaku bites off a trainer’s arm, when people debate on if Shaku should go free, and when Shaku realizes he wants to be in the wild.  However, I didn’t rate this film 4.5 for nothing.  There is one low light.  When Shaku’s mom tries to free herself from a ghost net, Shaku tries to help, which makes the situation worse.  That scene is a bit silly.

This is a great movie.  Save up your money to buy tickets and popcorn because this movie is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.  A must-see!
