In this crazy world gone mad with hatred and violence and even worse,apathy,kudos to a film,while corny and not really presenting anything new at all in that respect,updates what can sometimes be lost these days,our humanity and human ingenuity.Based on true events and Clearwater Marine Aquariums own Dolphin,Winter,we get a new spin as real and heart wrenching as the 50,000 + wounded warriors this country is now home to.Thru a story about a Dolphin we get a allegory of todays sometimes neglected veterans and the extraordinary medical advancements being made on their behalf.I was drawn to this 2011 film that runs 113 minutes by its cast.Harry Connick Jr.,Kris Kristofferson, and Morgan Freeman,and I always be lov'in me some Ashley Judd.But a movie like this needs good child actors and Cozi Zuehlsdorff and Nathan Gamble are all that.Winter the Dolphin is a good animal/actor to base a story on as well.It can be a "tissue movie"and I recommend it for times like this past weekend when you just want the world to go away.My only issue is that's a corny movie like this works best when the world really sucks and you need hope for better days.Thus 1 star off.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary below.
A lonely and friendless boy finds and untangles a hurt dolphin that is caught in a crab trap. He becomes very attached to the dolphin when the tail must be taken off to save the dolphin's life. The boy believes the dolphin would be able to swim normally if it was given a prosthetic tail. Written by Douglas Young (the-movie-guy)
