This film is based partially on a true story of a captive killer whale named
Keiko. Keiko also starred in parts of this film and sequels, until he became very sick
and despite everyone ' help and concern he eventually died. This is a touching story
about a boy and his killer whale. This was directed by Dwight H. Little.
I intend to prove through this film, shot, music, sound, directing acting, storytelling etc.,
that humans and non-humans can form a strong bond of love and loyalty. In this case
a killer whale.
Two years ago the boy Jesse helped the whale Willy to jump into freedom.
Jesse enjoys his life with his adoptive parents, when his half brother Elvis arrives
because of the death of their mother. During a camping trip Jesse meets Willy again,
as wel as his Indian friend Randolph. A tender love develops between Jesse and Randolph 's
goddaughter Nadine. Suddenly a crashed oil tanker endangers the whales, and several
animal and human lives have to be saved as well when the oil catches fire.
The Genre for this film is Action/Adventure, Drama and Family. A box office
hit in (1995). The themes are daring rescues, mischievous children, orphans. The tone
is bright, compassionate, heartwarming, sentimental, summery and warm.
Corliss, Richard (1995)Prince of Whales.
The director and the rest of the crew did a very amazing job, with all of the different
shots of the whales and the boys in the water riding the whales and playing under the
water. They really show the love between the boy and the whale. The story telling was
very believable. The actor who played the boy Jesse ( Jason James Richter) did a very
good job with his character. All of the scenes and shots were very heartwarming.
The music that was played throughout is a song titled, “Will You Be
