	DVD Verdict Review - The Free Willy Trilogy
		When Free Willy was released theatrically in the spring of 1993, it became a surprise hit, raking in money and becoming a part of the pop culture zeitgeist, even becoming the source of all manner of bad puns and double-entendres in the opening monologues of late night talk show hosts.
		Free Willy—When a benign juvenile delinquent named Jesse (Jason James Richter), abandoned by his negligent mother, is arrested for his graffiti work on a whale storage tank at a Sea World-type amusement park and sent back to clean up his mess as punishment, he forms a bond with Willy, the head-case orca inside the tank.
		Willy is delicately handled, only slightly anthropomorphised (he sometimes nods or shakes his head as though he understands English perfectly), yet we still get the sense he has a unique personality (characterized in large part by anger).

	Filmtracks: Free Willy (Basil Poledouris)
		Free Willy: (Basil Poledouris) Remaining as one of Poledouris' hidden gems, Free Willy is a much better than average childrens' adventure score.
		The magic of Free Willy is conveyed through Poledouris' enduring and charming title theme, performed with an unusually large sound from a Los Angeles orchestra.
		Regardless of what you have heard about Free Willy in the past, it is a superior adventure score with intriguing aquatic tendencies, and I recommend it to all.

		The odd thing about Free Willy is that it's a film which makes money using a captive animal to do tricks--and it's about the evils of capturing animals to do tricks for money.
		Free Willy is one of my favorite movies even though I know an orca couldn't be set free immediatly; they would have to go through rehibilitation and learning skills for survival.
		Keiko, who played Willy in the movie, is now learning to survive in the wild because "Free Willy" so that is why I rate it on the top...

		This 1995 sequel again finds Willy in trouble at the hands of the civilised world, this time due to an oil slick and explosion that may very well kill him or cause him to be locked away again.

		Unexpectedly, Willy, the whale who inhabits the tank, takes a liking to Jesse, and the animal and child develop a bond -- a bond that also helps Jesse open up to the adults in his life, including his new parents and the whale's caretakers.
		Ironically, Keiko, the whale who played Willy in the film, actually has some real-life problems similar to those dramatized in "Free Willy." He had grown too large for his tank, and his health was suffering as a consequence.
		Free Willy has almost an E.T. feel to it, with a boy and a very non-human creature bonding and eventually the strength of that bond being tested when the creature's life is endangered.

	Free Willy
		Do any of us truly have free will in a universe of infinite possibilities, or do we live in a deterministic universe in which everything that happens is as certain as the movement of the stars.
		It is difficult to say for sure, whether or not the universe is deterministic or indeterministic, if we have free will or are controlled by unseen forces, if accidents and disasters are unavoidable, or if through our own creativity and decisions it is possible to shape the future.
		But even if the choices in life which present themselves to us are only illusions in a deterministic universe and we are secretly being controlled by benevolent behavioral scientists, or malevolent opportunists, perhaps we are better off assuming those choices are real and our future together remain uncertain.
