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 even more for her persistence and non-compromise from beginning to end.
There are three parties involved in the rescue of the gray whale, political goals, economic interests, and pure Greenpeace rescue. All parties have their own interests and appeals. Two of the three clues have their own ghosts at the beginning. Finally, unite with Rachel and simply hope to rescue the three gray whales. No matter how evil thoughts are, they will inevitably have a moment of purification and cleansing in the world of truth, goodness and beauty. Although the political goal was finally achieved and the economic benefits were obtained, we have no intention of condemning the impurity of anyone, and we are grateful to all those who have worked hard for this.
In the end, Rachel's 48 minutes and 35 seconds touched me instantly, the gist of it was this: Because, although they are big and strong, they are also vulnerable... And what's more heartbreaking is that they know the situation they face , they know there is danger, they feel scared, we empathize with them because they are too similar to us, we are also afraid and vulnerable, and we also need help sometimes.

    The director's narration of an action to save whales is so boring, and the multi-line narrative only touches on additional elements such as politics and love, but the film's subtle environmental views are still worthy of admiration. ★★

    The movie is touching, but a bit fake

  • J.W. McGraw: [the Russian ship has created a hole in the ice, but the whales haven't appeared] C'mon, you bastards! Surface!

  • Jill Jerard: [Jill is upset over how a stuck-up rival reporter wants to cover the whale story that she worked hard to cover and is drunkenly and tearfully venting her sorrows to Adam] Nobody covers great stories anymore! There are thousand wars going on! But none of the reporters are covering them because they are all HERE, covering a story about three stupid whales! Look what they've done to me! I'm a... smelly, drunk, depressed... .*Barbie*!
