What types
of movies touch your heart most? The fiction movies or the non-fiction ones? In
some movies such as Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Jurassic Park, the scenarios are totally fabricated by the
screenwriters. Others are based on real stories in our lives, which therefore
easily capture people’s inner feelings. In the Heart of the Sea, a 2015 American
movie, is an example of such a movie. Both the historical background and the
possibility of the existence of the killer whale provide the evidence that “it
is too many to be true” as the actor said in the film.
The biographical adventure movie In the Heart of the Sea describes a battle between the whalers and the giant whale. The idea was from the same-name non-fiction book written by Nathaniel Philbrick in 2000 and it inspired the tale of Moby-Dick. The background of this film traces back to the 1800s. At that time, lights or machine power was fueled by the whale oil; therefore, many companies recruit sailors to hunt the whales worldwide to make a big fortune.
Moreover,
according to some researches, Orcas—one kind of the killer whales with
aggressive predatory style—could prey on seals, sharks and even other whales.
When the whalers hunt these giant marine animals, the fact is that they put
themselves into hazardous circumstances. And unfortunately, due to lack of
knowledge of the whales and poor equipment in early era, hunting for whales was
absolutely risking their lives.
