Why watch this film?
Our suggestions
A recounting of a New England whaling ship's sinking by a giant whale in 1820, an experience that later inspired the great novel Moby-Dick.
"Moby Dick has become one of the greatest classics of literature of all time. It's no wonder, the tome has been translated into dozens of languages, adapted for the cinema and TV and still arouses curiosity. In the Heart of the Sea, instead of adapting the book literally, delves into the story that inspired Herman Melville's classic. With this, the viewer finds an intense movie about a whaling ship that, deservedly, is attacked by a giant whale. Exciting and with an afflictive direction by Ron Howard (Rush: No Limite da Emoção), the feature film is one of those movies that make you feel afraid of the secrets that the sea holds. Highlight for the performances of Chris Hemsworth (from Thor: Ragnarok), Cillian Murphy (Inception), Brendan Gleeson (Calvary) and Tom Holland (Spider-Man: Far From Home). To grab the popcorn, sit on the couch and have fun."
