The Whale 2022

I thought it was one of those manipulative movies about a disable person that everyone treats like crap. Of course the audience will feel bad for him. How could you not?
That's why the emotional pay off didn't work for me but I see how it could make people cry.

@the_argentinian Yes, this is true … but, wouldn’t it be a lot easier to write this character like the nicest human being who’s simply down on his luck? It’d literally be the most predictable way to get at you emotionally. I agree that this movie is manipulative and that the main character is too unlikeable for the movie to work, but at least it didn’t take the easiest route
