Free Willy is a story about a boy named Jessie; he is a boy who was a naughty kid, doing graffiti and not doing as he is told. Jessie and a friend were doing graffiti, and he got caught, but his friend got away.
Jessie had to clean up the graffiti he made in an adventure park where he met Willy, an angry whale who would not do the tricks the owners wanted him to do.
Jessie and the whale are both angry, but Jessie falls into the tank, and the whale saves his life.
They become friends, and Jessie teaches Willy tricks and Jessie wants to save the whale's life in return.
The film is a mix of happy and sad because the whale is held in captivity but happy when Jessie was saved from drowning and their friendship grew.
I would recommend this film because the film was adventurous, the adventure park setting was cool, and Jessie was angry, playful and a bit annoying just like me.
The story and characters are good, and I would give this film a five-star review.
