      Temporary occasional human sympathy for nature to let you go and that's it

      The American version of the story of man conquering heaven. Tiny humans, a flood of empathy, and an explosive spread made the three whales trapped in the ice a national news. It's touching, but I still think the Inuit are doing it right. Don't interfere with nature's decisions, be a hunter in nature, don't try to be God. Victory is temporary and accidental. It's just that the Inuit people, under the visible and invisible pressure from the outside world, accommodated the outside world in order...

      Greenpeace Radical Promo

      "The Great Miracle" is also said to be based on real events, but I think it should be exaggerated. This is a 1980's Greenpeace propaganda film about a united effort to save stranded whales in Alaska. The whole country is concerned about these three whales. The President of the United States, the Marine Corps, major media and Eskimos have joined in, and even the Soviet icebreaker has helped across ideological barriers. I have to say it's really bloody.

      Went with anticipation of the...

      great miracle

      Adapted from real events, the film’s narrative is relatively flat, with some documentary style, but it does not prevent the audience from presenting this “giant miracle” event.

      Three huge gray whales were trapped in the Arctic Circle at minus tens of degrees below zero. The water surface was covered by a thick layer of ice. There was only one hole for the gray whales to breathe. However, as the temperature dropped, this was the only way to maintain The hole of life will...

      We are all God's children, walking upright does not mean we are superior

      A very touching gray whale rescue story based on a true story. At first, I couldn't understand why I wasted a huge amount of human, financial and material resources to save three gray whales. Looking at it, I realized how selfish human beings are. Ah, thinking that I am an upright walking animal, I can stand at the top of the pyramid, and my thoughts can decide the survival of other creatures. I hate my selfishness and incompetence, and I hate my indifference to other creatures, I admire Rachel...

      "American Rescue"

      Who was rescued by American Rescue

      ? The whale family (unfortunately their baby "Bang Bang" is over).
      From accidental discovery to trying to hunt and kill, starting to help and being questioned, and then to the joint efforts of the top and bottom!
      In the end, it was a success without a doubt!

      The direct driving force for the success is that the US high-level officials gave up the spirit of a great power, turned to the nearest and strongest Soviet icebreaker, and...

      6.9 The filming is generally too conventional, and if it weren't for the Soviet Union or something Gorbachev really couldn't tell that it was shot during the Cold War, Drew Barrymore also acted without a soul and was very playful. Anyway, it's an old-fashioned animal film to earn attention All the CGs of whales in the water are fortunate that the underwater is too...
