The Canadian Red Cross Society sponsored by: JOHNSON & ASSOCIATES Free Willy an environmental romance By Lawson Oates and Dawn We Free Willy is thematically in synch -with the other movies this summer. This story builds on environmental romance and celebrates the child hero who is the driving force'behind it. The plot of Free Willy is simply stated in the movie's with spray paint. He is sen- tenced to clean up the mess, and in the process, bonds with the Orca Whale, Willy. The bonding of Jesse and Willy progresses with the aid of Randolph (August Schellenberg), the Native American caretaker. Randolph teaches Jesse a higher respect for the Orca. This is set against the com- modity-oriented marine park owners who can only accept Willy in monetary terms.

The notes at the end of the movie do fell us that the shooting of scenes with Willy were done under the supervision of the American Humane Society. The acting in Free Willy is well done with Jason James Richter giving a credible per- formance as a troubled boy coming to terms with his cir- cumstance. Richter met the challenge of Performing the highly-emotional drama of a betrayed boy offering his trust ain. Perhaps equally absorbing is Keiko the whale. His plight o cc is a real one and challenges the viewer to reconsider aday at Marine Land, The presence of August Shellenberg offset the drama, Although he provided the Spiritual direction and support of Jesse, he also introduced a light heartedness to otherwise keenly interested in the lead- ership of Jesse. He defies the establishment and advocates for the noble cause of the whales. Kids summer carnival Looking for fun and excitement this summer? Circle Aug.-8 on your calen- dar!
