Dolphin Tale Ratings & Reviews

ርልዪረ12 February 2025
Winter the Dolphin is beached and separated from her family, yet destiny brings her to Sawyer, a young introverted lad. He soothingly bonds with Winter while freeing her from the ropes of the crab trap. We learn that Sawyer was abandoned by his father and his cousin Kyle is the male figure in his life. Kyle is deployed overseas in the service of our country, and Sawyer fills the void by immersing his time at the Clearwater Marine Hospital in the care of Winter, whose injuries cause her tail to require amputation. Although Sawyer ditches summer school, his thoughtful mother, Lorraine, supports his mission to nurture Winter and expresses her plea of understanding to his teacher, Mr. Doyle. For the first time in his young life, her son has a real passion for something special that gives him fulfillment which brings him out of his awkward shell. Enter the challenges of life. Kyle is badly injured and requires a brace to walk. He is despondent and refused to interact with family in his physical recovery. Sawyer, encourages him and invites him to meet Winter. Now the brilliant Dr. McCarthy, a prosthetic specialist is engaged to consider creating an artificial tail for Winter. Morgan Freeman shines in this role and pioneers a device which takes three attempts to "gel". This story revolves around the bonds of family and how we all have the ability encourage and grow with an open heart. A pivotal moment comes when Kyle visits the Clearwater facility and meets Winter for the first time. As if by instinct, she greets him and shows him her injury and the will to persevere and foster hope. This is a film about encouragement and the meaning of universal family. We all have a role to play in improving the circumstances of those around us, and giving of ourselves is the highest form of love. Dolphin Tale is a classic for all ages and a wonderful staple to place in your library of movies.
