The film’s most powerful theme is redemption. The Whale tackles many subjects, including abandonment, loss, broken families, sexuality, and the need for connection. Even when Ellie lashed out at her dad, humiliated people around her, and lived a self-destructive life, Charlie could only see the eight-year-old girl who wrote a poem about Moby Dick. Brendan Fraser really escalated things here in The Whale, as Charlie could see the good in anyone, even when their intentions were evil. This also allowed Charlie to see what he wanted, as he told Mary that Ellie was a good person because she helped Thomas reunite with his parents. This backfired, as his parents offered to take him back in, and he found forgiveness. At the same time, she took pictures of her dad to humiliate him and she sent the recording to Thomas' parents and former church to humiliate him. What he didn't know was that she was recording what he said. However, this all crashed down on him when he admitted this to Ellie. He had lapsed in his faith, stole money from his youth group, and ran away from home. As The Whale ending explained, he wasn't really a missionary anymore at all and was lying. One character that played a minor role in Charlie's final days was the missionary, Thomas ( Harley from the MCU). This was also shown when Ellie drugged her father and took photos of him to share online. When Mary lashed into Charlie at the end, she admitted that Ellie had turned into a "monster" and was cruel to her fellow students and others. Mary severed Charlie's contact with Ellie and wanted to raise her on her own which didn't work out well. Mary ( The Walking Dead's Samantha Morton) and Charlie divorced when Charlie left them for a student named Alan.
When Charlie's ex-wife Mary showed up to talk to him about their daughter, Eliie's dark and cruel side appeared again. She kept returning because he promised to write an essay for school for her and offered her all his money, which totaled over $120,000 since he never spent money on anything but food and rent. The first time she appeared in the movie, she told him that he disgusted her, regardless of his appearance, and said if he loved her, he would walk to her without assistance, which she knew he couldn't do, and he sadly fell, breaking his side table.
#A hidden life ending movie
Ellie was cruel to Charlie throughout The Whale, a movie accused of fatphobia.
