The Whale 4K 2022

In The Whale, he pulled a similar trick. Only instead of a realm of the absurd, he created a more realistic apartment. This limited world, where Brendan Fraser, paralyzed by his weight, exists, has its own atmosphere, gravity and even the laws of physics. This sliver of the world has its own population. The protagonist, his daughter, her mother, the sister of a former lover and a missionary. The pizza delivery man who tried to contact this apartment - planet, observed it only in orbit. Unable to understand and decipher what was happening, he did not step forward. He remained an alien who failed to see the inner beauty and in his superficiality ran away.

Fraser's character himself is a reflection of the movie. Strange, ungraceful, disgusting in places, a little optimistic. But the kind eyes give away the poetry. A mosaic of the subtle aura of enclosed space. Fragments of the street visible from the threshold and the second floor veranda. Rain tapping endlessly on the windows and sills. And a bird coming to them. The movie, however, follows the precept of truth voiced in it. It balances filigree between the truthfulness of realism and poetic harmony.
