The Whale is not just a film. It is a plunge into pain, the abandonment of hope, and the deep need for acceptance and release. With every scene, it felt as if the heart was being torn from its place - not only because of Charlie's decision to withdraw from the world, but because of the sheer futility that pain carries when left unspoken.

It was like witnessing different mechanisms of survival. His daughter, with a rage that cuts like a blade, tries to save herself from her own experience of abandonment. Liz, on the other hand, has become quiet care, silent protection, and compassion without demand. And Thomas, through his faith, projects his need for redemption onto something beyond himself - onto something divine.

Charlie doesn't ask for pity, nor for forgiveness. He only longs for a single true moment. A "I need to know that I did one thing right in my life." And that desire - so simple, yet so immense - is what shattered us.

It felt like watching a man drown slowly, quietly, with dignity - and yet offering others the breath he himself was losing.

Through him, the film reminded us that connection, even when it feels impossible, is the final form of hope.

And that no matter how deep we sink into pain, there is always a glance, a sentence, a touch - that can hold us at the surface.

I enjoyed it quite a lot; I always love stories about trauma and healing.

This particular series follows the healing of many different wounds through methods that are still not entirely accepted. For this reason, I often felt torn between right and wrong, questioning whether I condone the protagonist's(Nicole Kidman- Masha Dmitrichenko) behavior or not.

I just believe that the couple's storyline(Samara Weaving-Jessica and Melvin Gregg- Ben Chandler ) was quite weak and essentially existed just to be there. It wasn't given the chance to develop or delve deeper into the wounds of a couple and their journey toward reconciliation. That's why the rating.

It was a series that made me smile many times and genuinely feel happy for the achievements of the main characters. I laughed often, as it also has some comedic moments, and I also cringed quite a bit.

The fact that it made me feel such a wide range of emotions makes it, for me, a truly great series.

I don't know how I ended up watching this series, as movies about fantasy worlds and mythical creatures are not my thing at all. However, I've been completely blown away-I watched it with absolute dedication and focus. Incredible sets and costumes, very good actors, excellent direction, and overall amazing quality.

What truly caught my attention, though, is the essence of the series. It talks about segregation, racism, immigration, exploitation, oppression, and political manipulation. But the central theme is the duality of human nature. Everyone is both good and bad, and regardless of social status, everyone desires the life of the person across from them.

I think the story of Imogen and Agreus essentially expresses this desire and thirst for freedom. Coming from different social classes, they form very different views on what freedom actually means based on their experiences. However, we see this duality in all the characters.

That's all-I was just blown away. A very good series with a highly relevant theme, plenty of modern touches, and a lot to think about.
