great miracle

I like the title of this movie. Based on a true story, the film tells the story of many people of different occupations, ages, and purposes being caught up in a piece of news from the perspective of a young boy who doesn't want to be an Eskimo whaler like his grandfather -- a family of three gray whales trapped Touched by the ice, and unfolded all kinds of actions within their ability, these three whales brought together people from different backgrounds, with their own lives and goals. The lovers who broke up are reunited, and the little boy also has some new understandings about his grandfather, his family, and the whale through this incident. In the film, in order to save the whales, the Soviet Union and the United States also cooperated in the Cold War. The scene of the Soviet icebreaker helping to break through the ice ridge at the hull damage is touching, and even eased the atmosphere of the Cold War. Powering up the leaders of both sides for the three whales is surprising, but it turns out to be a fact in history. The feelings of this lady from the environmental protection organization for the trapped whales are difficult for ordinary people to understand. The plot of her venturing into the water for the little whales to go out and put the nets on the tail fins makes people feel a bit contrived, so whether a small piece of loose fishing nets can hinder the whales. , cutting the fishing net with just two knives also seems a bit random when shooting. Of course, this may be limited by the shooting conditions. After all, it is not easy to shoot movies in real high-latitude areas or do anything at will. And this news seems to have a huge impact on society, from elementary school students to the president. This film reflects the story of the 1970s. I don't know if it was appropriate at that time. In the film, the male protagonist's relationship with the beautiful female reporter has a beginning and end, and it only ends with a happy cooperation and achievements; and although the reunion with his ex-girlfriend is expected, it lacks the support of the plot, and the emotional process is not clearly reflected in the process of rescuing the whale. . The burrowing to guide the whales toward the ice ridges makes me think the vents are a bit dense, which of course may have been needed for the shoot. How whales respond to guidance is poorly described. There is an introduction to the culture of the whaling people, but it seems to be only a shallow taste. Because the pictures and framing are from the real world, some of them are quite spectacular and real. There are twists and turns in the plot, the cooperation between environmentalists and oil tycoons, the cooperation of oil tycoons, the change of attitudes of both sides, the change of the whaling nation, the breathing port is frozen, the ice-breaking machine fails, the results of the female reporter are stolen, the little whale death, the failure of the barge transportation, the cooperation with the Soviet Union, the whale's retreat due to vibration, the first 2 failed attempts of the icebreaker, etc. I don't know what technology was used to shoot the whale, but it looks very real.
